Ok first month under my belt time for excersise yay...
Yay this is just what I need!!
Ok I had intended to start out with supercharged doing the workouts and that didn't work out so well... So gonna try and do the interval and the workout (bought the dvd still in it's wrapper!) Gonna start with a low number -5 days a week 30 minutes a day... trying to be realistic with myself
SO 600 min to start with...
1 - 31 - (and really happy bout this cause I made myself get up and hit the treadmill instead of taking a nap)
2 - gonna have to take this as an off day ran out of time this am (I work 12 hour shifts so if it doesn't get done before work kinda not gonna happen )
3 - 30 -these last two I have done 30 seconds running and then walking 2 minutes (which I then saw joyfulloser was doing and has rocked it so think I'll keep going with it till I can run 4 miles at a time too!!!)
4
5 - Vigorous housecleaning (shampooing carpet etc.) maybe doesn't really count but I was a sweatin!!
6 - 90 - walking my very pregnant sister in law around trying to get labor going!! (it was like 3 hours but don't want to overcount since we stopped to rest at intervals)
