What's your workout?

  • Just thought it would be nice to get an idea of what everyone is doing for their workouts.

    Me I just started, but I plan to do 3 days a week at least 30 mins walking on the treadmill, and alternating some sort of other cardio either billy blanks bootcamp or other dvd workout.

    It's your turn!
  • I haven't really been on it like I should've been for the past month and half. I have been slacking off majorily. However, even in my lazy phase I am doing a minimum of 3 days a week, but on good weeks 5 days a week. I'm doing Hip Hop Abs, Turbo Jam, and Zumba.

    If I don't feel like doing any of those workouts I do a quick Walk Away the Pounds.
  • On M, W, F I do at least 30 minutes of Your Shape on the Wii. T, TH, Sat I power walk with walking sticks for 30-45 minutes. Sunday I rest. The walking seems to kick my butt more than the work-out. Go figure...
  • When i started MRC, i used to just go on the treadmill so i can get atleast 2 miles + 2 miles on the bike or on the elliptical. I gradually moved that upto total of 6 miles a day ( 5 days a week).

    Now since 1 week i am following this, because i dont want to have loose skin. In about 7 weeks from now i will know if it helped, or i will go back to my old routine, which worked, because i know it.

    Day 7 Off
  • Zumba, zumba, and the elliptical at least 3x a week =)
  • Not enough lately! But I do like the Wii Fit Plus and Zumba.
  • I normally workout out everyday on the elliptical for 40 minutes, but haven't this last week due to my sinus infection!! I'm REALLY hoping I start feeling better, because I miss the gym!!
  • On a GOOD week I do 2-3 zumba classes (60' each), or 2 zumba (60' each) and one treadmill/bicycle session (30'). I feel better with exercise...I WISH I would get to the point where I didn't have to PUSH myself to go....but am hoping over time I'll get there....Some weeks aren't good weeks but I just keep plugging along and trying again.
  • I just starting doing zumba when I joined MRC & love it!

  • Zumba is fun! It is so hard at first to get the moves, I am sure I look like a spaz doing it, but it is a lot of fun!
  • Where do you guys do zumba - do you have a DVD or do you go to a gym?
  • Quote: Where do you guys do zumba - do you have a DVD or do you go to a gym?
    I have such a wacky schedule, that I am not able to go to a class. So I bought the dvds. If you do an internet search for it, there is a link that will locate Zumba classes near you. Since we are from the same round about area I know Offutt AFB offers a Zumba class if you can get on base. I also believe 24 hour fitness offers it as well. Also, I can't remember the fitness place but there was another one out in Papillion that offers Zumba as well.
  • I have the DVD's also. I would like to go to the classes on base but unfortunately they are not at convenient times for me to go to.
  • when you work out what is everyones target heart rate?
