  • It's -8 today. Good reason for at home walking. So I better get at it. ha
  • 5 miles walked w/4 pound weights (60 minutes)
    Wii PT Medium Lower Body: 1 set of 11 exercises (13 minutes)
    Wii MW Medium Lower Body: 1 set of 8 exercises (9 minutes)
  • I had trouble getting my TV and BluRay player synced and working this morning and messed around with til I only had time for one mile....and a disjointed mile at that.

    Getting serious time!! I have been going up and down with my weight since before Christmas. Was hoping to even up and get back to what I was before the holidays started (156)....this week I am at 160, which is my personal panic number....so I am updating my signature and getting serious. I've really had trouble staying away from treats since Christmas. With Val. Day and my birthday coming up, I will still struggle with it. I'd like to be back to 156 by my b-day, then back to 150 within a couple months. Then I am going to decide if my original goal of 140 is realistic or not. If not, I want to maintain at no more than 150.

    Here I go!!
  • Well shoot... I don't know what to say mile wise... according to the DVD (5 mile slim down) I did 2 miles (mile 1 & 5) plus warm up and cool down but according to my pedometer it was 1.85 miles total. Oh well either way I worked for over 30 minutes.
  • 20 Minutes Stretching (Sang H. Kim)
    35 Min Abs (Stability Ball)
    3 Mile Advanced Walk w/stretchy band (50 minutes)

    I loved the 3 mile walk, so much fun!
  • Picked up the 4 Mile Power Walk DVD today and I must say I loved it! Did all 4 miles and definitely felt my calves burn!
  • 2 mi. done so far hoping to do another 2 with weights.
  • 5 miles walked w/4 pounds (60 minutes)
    Wii MW Medium Abs: 2 sets of 4 exercises (10 minutes)
    Stability Ball Abs X's 2: 2 sets of 11 exercises (20 minutes)
  • tubolard, I don't know how you do 60min with 4lb weights. I did 2 more with weights and 2 without for a total of 6mi.
  • Note to LuvCats-Don't worry if your pedometer doesn't match the DVD exactly. I have never worn a pedometer and just go by what the DVD is set up for. Just keep moving!!

    No exercise for me this weekend. Bad food day today, but plan on a much better day tomorrow.

    I would like to aim for a min. 3 miles on Mon thru Friday of next week. Just need to be sure I get to bed early enough and get up early enough to do so. Would like to see a pound gone by the end of the week.
  • Thanks AnnieDrews. I'm going to keep it up.

    I did a mile today but it was walking my dog so not sure if it technically counts on this board. Ha ha just glad it counts for me.. I do want to try to work into the 3rd mile a couple times next week.

    Great job everyone! Keep it up!
  • I just bought the 4 DVD collection and am going to do my first walk today. I'll post how it went
  • I did the one mile with 3 pound weights, and it kicked my butt! It was much harder than I thought it would be, but it makes me super glad I bought this video. I'm thinking a week or two at one mile, then I'll advance to 2!
  • Sun. day off.
  • Quote: tubolard, I don't know how you do 60min with 4lb weights. I did 2 more with weights and 2 without for a total of 6mi.
    I built up sloooooowly, lol. I can't remember who it is on here that does 10 miles with I think 5 pound weights and I don't know how they can do it, well yes I do know. Slowly and carefully.
    When I started out I was doing 1 mile in 18 minutes (huffing and puffing the entire time and I have to admit I might have possibly used a few profanities toward Leslie) and could barely do the arm section with only my hands as weights, if I could have popped them off to make it easier I think I might have done it, lol.
    I think you are doing a great job! Everything we do all adds up, think of where we will all be in a month, heck even just a week and we all are so much stronger and better then we were!
    I came in today even though it is my day off to live vicariously through you guys' exercise, I know I need a day off but I miss working out on Sundays, I am so weird huh, lol.
    Thank you for what I took as a great compliment, it made my birthday a little better!
