Just wanted to get an exercise thread going fr those who need the accountability!!

Yesterday i did 25 min or 2.25 miles on the elliptical

Today 1 mile on the elliptical, and upper body weights

WOW Nor 25 minutes, you must have some leg muscles
Now this is the first time I've exercised in over 2 years due to my back.

I did 5 minutes forward on the eliptical and 2 minutes backwards...I know its not much but its a start, I can't overdo it cause I'll be hurtin like a you know what !! Every little bit helps.

Love, Leens

Nasus - this is a great idea!!!

Wednesday - Rode exercise bike for 25 minutes moderate pace
Thursday - walked two miles in the park
Friday - ??? not sure yet, I will add it later.

Thursday: 30 minutes on the exercise bike. Been riding at -0- resistance, but doctor said to kick up intensity, so I'm trying to do the L1 Hill setting. What I've managed to do is ride at 0 the switch to L1 for about 3 minutes at a time, then back down to 0. Its going to take me a while to get the intensity up to where the doc wants it, but I'll get there.

Later I went to the 50+Circuit Water aerobic class. This is a class that incorporates "tools" to increase intensity of water workouts to "mimic" effects of doing the circuit machines. It's a pretty tough class, but I love it.

actually, i did 30 minutes with raul this morning. the first time in two weeks, since the bronchitis really wore me out [i can't wait until it stops!!!! it got me into so much trouble and apparently my lungs are still weak enough that i'm susceptible!!!]

and then i stopped in at an olympus gym, the one i pass every single morning on the way to work.

and the trainer there was adorable!!! he's about 30, and comes up to my shoulder, andhas the most sparkly blue eyes.

and he promised he wouldn't let me hurt myself

and why am i posting this HERE, with all you SWEATING, HARDWORKING LADIES, when it really belongs on the daily???

never mind...

i'm considering joining this place. it's clean. doesn't smell like sweatsocks. the ladies room is sparse, but very clean

no pool, though.

i want to check out a couple of other places, though.

JIf...I love ya...join somewhere!!!!! you will love it..I love the Y. You may want a pool but maybe not..I have been in the pool at the Y once. But I have a pool at home so in the summer I am in it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Walked today pushing the stroller...felt good to get moving again! Liz

Friday- walked 30 minutes on the treadmill/and moved a million boxes to my new office.

Saturday- chased 5&6 yr olds and swam

Sunday-nothing planned

That's what I've been. I was in the middle of my 30 minute bike ride and was interrupted by the phone, then it was too late to finnish. Had importiant doc appt for DH Friday and didn't have time to go to the club.

Sat's and Sunday's are my "days of rest"

Tonight I took my tape player, my Aquajazz tape and my foam barbells down to my son's pool and did a full hour of water aerobics. I'm proud of myself because I don't usually exercise on the weekend.

Do you think that will help make up for the german chocolate cake & vanillia ice cream I had at lunch?

Hi girls I think that did make up for the cake!!! LOL

firday i did the stairs at the ball game a bunch of times and then sa walked about 4 miles at bosycout camp then sunday rest

monday I am starting my BFL challenge so it was upper body workout today!!

i did reach my 10 so i will be hurting tomorow.

have a great exercise today!!!

Did 30 minutes on the bike, (as intense as I could, not really as intense as the doc wants.) and 1 hour of water aerobics at the club.

Monday- swim w/kids
Tueday-swim w/ kids
Wed-back to the Y will fill in later.

I have not stopped moving since late last week...we have done a ton of stuff around the house...lots of yard and house work...making me sweat so has to count for something.....want to get our walking too, as it is so beautiful out Liz

Olny 15 minutes on the bike today, but the water aerobics was a "step" class so in my book, that counts double!!!
