  • brandnewme -- I know what you mean about not working hard enough. I had been doing great up until February I think... then I got sick and sick again, then my back flared up, and my intensity plummeted. I am trying to gradually build it up again to get teh most from my workouts.

    That elliptical will do it, though! Wowsa!
  • Just a normal two-in-one day. 30 mins on the treadmill and 30 mins on the bike. Didn't even get a walk in with the kids because I had a meeting at that time and someone else took them for daily fitness.

    Personal Goal... 1610 - 60 = 1550 mins left for April's goal of 1800

    Group Total... 936 + 60 = 996

    Happy first working week in April everyone!

    Take care,

    Zelma
  • After having dinner at my aunts house we went for a walk in the park!

    My Goal 20 + 30 = 50

    Group Goal 936 + 30 = 966
  • Group total 996 + 30 = 1026

    Dont know what I am doing wrong here but I always read last post then put my taotal then more pop up..sorry yall..cyn
  • Hey girlz
    Add 15 more for me. Going upstairs to take another turn at it. I too am trying to build myself up again!

    Personal
    45+15=60

    300+ total 1026+15=1041

  • Last night I did my 50 minute strength training tape, which puts my total at 70 minutes.

    The group total is now 1041 + 50 = 1091
  • Good morning ladies,

    Well, yesterday was my rest day so I managed to not do anything too physical despite my desire to. I'm glad I took the day off, my knees were a bit sore from the 2+ hours of fitness the day before.

    This morning I got up late (it will be a hard week, trying to get used to the new time) so I only did 46 minutes instead of my regular 60. Alas, I shall make up for it on my next bike day. Tomorrow, I tackle the dreaded ELLIPTICAL! Eeek!

    Group Total: 1091 + 46 = 1137

    Have a good day y'all!
  • Took the dogs on a brisk walk for 15 min. May get something else in tonight, but I'm not gonna sweat it...

    Group total ~ 1137 + 15 = 1152 minutes!
  • We can add another 30 minutes to the group total today. I wasn't able to do my normal workout today because I overslept. That's okay--I can catch up tomorrow.

    New Group Total = 1152 + 30 = 1182

    By the way, Wyllen--WOO-HOO, on meeting that second goal. I am so happy for you!
  • 1182 + 45 = 1227

    10 min elliptical and the rest swimming for a change.
    This time my son took my brother and I to the gym and we all did our thing and met in the pool. it was fun.
  • I did 23 minutes on the elliptical and 27 minutes on the treadmill, which brings my total to 120 minutes.

    The group total is now 1227 + 50 = 1277
  • Hi ladies..looks liek we are all doin great!

    My total today was 30 min walking and it was a bit hot out..lol

    Group total 1277 + 30 = 1307

    My goal 50 + 30 = 80

  • I'm going to go ahead and count some of my time in Chicago...as I was briskly walking a LOT, and climbing loads of stairs! Out of all the walking/climbing I did, I'm going to count 2 hours.
    1307+120=1427!

    Although, at the concert itself, I know I got about 4 hours of exercise in! LOL...headbanging/jumping/rocking out....hehehe
  • I kinda cheated today. I fell behind with the housework over the weekend and I have people from work coming around for a meeting Thursday, so I decided to skip the exercise bike today (I don't want to do housework tomorrow on my birthday) and do an hour of housework instead. I won't count it as exercise, but I still feel OK, as vacuuming is pretty good movement I think.

    I still did 30 mins on the treadmill, 15 mins of laps of the oval with the kids and 20 mins of strength training.

    Personal Goal... 1550 - 65 = 1485 mins left of March's goal of 1800

    Group Total... 1427 + 65 = 1492

    Keep moving everyone!

    Take care,

    Zelma
  • I wanted my first day back after being sick to be kinda lot, but I'm surprised how strong I've gotten! I walked for 45 minutes this morning, will jump back on the weight training/resistance/aerobics tomorrow.

    Group total:1492 + 45 = 1537
