  • Exercise Goals:
    - Push ups 3x per week ( my husband and I are doing this 100 pushups program)
    - 100 crunches everyday
    - cardio of atleast 30 minutes everyday
    - strength training 2x per week

    I'll start my daily goals today, and start tracking my weekly goals on monday! (My week runs Mon-Sun, so I plan on updating about whether I'm meeting my goals or not either Sunday night or Monday morning!)
  • Quote: angieand2girls: take care of yourself! Everyone's different, but what works for me is Naproxen and ice packs -- both reduce the inflammation which seems to help me heal faster. Also, I heal faster now that I'm in better shape, so hopefully you'll see that effect!
    gardenerjoy - thanks so much for the info! Hmmm....makes me wonder if I should have done ice packs instead of a heat pack. I've also been taking robaxin which is a muscle relaxer. I feel a lot better than yesterday so hopefully I'll be 100% by Monday!

  • Ok, sorry I haven't been checkin' in. I wasn't sure how that was suppose to work. Here goes:
    Oct 1: 30 Day Shred (1 of 30) + Turbo Jam
    Oct 2: 30 Day Shred (2 of 30) +WATP 3 Fast Miles
    Oct 3: 30 Day Shred (3 of 30) + Hip Hop Abs Cardio
    Oct 4: 30 Day Shred (4 of 30)
  • Also, I am excited to report that I did the WATP Fast 3 miles and it was too easy. I thought I would do it to give me some variety. I had been doing Turbo Jam/Tae Bo. I remember when I had done it a few years back it was a challenege (the 2 mile portion) but this time...not so much So, I have moved up to another level of fitness. But I won't give up on my WATP. I have a couple of her other DVDs that are considered jogging. And I am going to give those a try when I need variety again.

    Everyone is starting off the month great on their fitness goals!!
