Pamela H in Texas Posted May 20, 2009 Share Posted May 20, 2009 I thought I'd just give a thread to encourage everyone (and possibly remind a few people too). This morning I did 45 minutes of My Fitness Coach (wii). I'm not sure what all else I'll do. I was thinking P90X Cardio later. But I have volunteer work this morning and have to work also. I might settle for Wii Fit while supper is being made :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nestof3 Posted May 20, 2009 Share Posted May 20, 2009 Great job! Not today because I have an early appointment (I am not a morning person), and then we have dinner plans, so it won't happen today. But, I have been riding my bike for an hour every day except Sundays. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dirty ethel rackham Posted May 20, 2009 Share Posted May 20, 2009 Congratulations! I am jealous. I want so badly to get out there. We have had fantastic weather and I am stuck here sick with the flu. We could have ridden bikes to the library and to park day. We could have walked to the grocery store and back. I feel like my already flabby body has turned to complete mush in the 5 days since I last exercised. I would love to be fit and healthy enough to do p90x (bad back, bad knees - just plain old;)). I have to make do with nordic walking and weights at the 'Y'. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KellyinPA Posted May 20, 2009 Share Posted May 20, 2009 Did my 20 minute walk around the neighborhood before the kids woke up, does that count? :001_smile: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karenciavo Posted May 20, 2009 Share Posted May 20, 2009 50 minutes on the elliptical machine at the gym. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lizzie in Ma Posted May 20, 2009 Share Posted May 20, 2009 6 days since we got the Wii Fit and I have worked out each day and am actually looking forward to it in the mornings! I am doing weight watchers too and am down 2 lbs since last week. :) I really want the brand new EA Active!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1bassoon Posted May 20, 2009 Share Posted May 20, 2009 I did - a minor miracle - I walked for 20 minutes in the beautiful, sunny, slightly cool, clear air Alabama sunshine. I'm not sure it raised my heart rate, but it lifted my spirits! Thanks for the encouragement, Pam. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sagira Posted May 20, 2009 Share Posted May 20, 2009 Thanks for the reminder! I need to tone up. Get out with the kids. Yesterday I scarfed down the whole Paradise Pie at Chili's :leaving: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hose Posted May 20, 2009 Share Posted May 20, 2009 Yup. I ran 2.5 miles this morning. It was a beautiful, sunshiny morning and I'm glad to have breathed in all that fresh air while clearing my head. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JudoMom Posted May 20, 2009 Share Posted May 20, 2009 Yep. I did the 20 minute free step on Wii Fit (almost 2500 steps worth). I'll do my Physical Therapy exercises in a bit. I'm trying to be gentle until I'm sure my back is healed. As soon as I'm sure I will being training to run a 5K (it seems every time I try something happens. The first time I tried I developed a horrible cough and gave up after running 5K twice because it wasn't getting easier and I thought I was perpetually sick. The second time I started I got the same cought and went to the doctor and found out I have exercise induced asthma. Then this last time I threw my back out again during Judo and ended up in PT).

Happy Posted May 20, 2009 Share Posted May 20, 2009 Me, me, me! I did! (And I'm so proud of myself. LOL) I just came back from a brisk 50 minute walk through my neighborhood and over to the nearby park. Beautiful morning! And it felt soooooo good to exercise. Thanks for the thread!

ChristusG Posted May 20, 2009 Share Posted May 20, 2009 Usually I do about 45 minutes of squats, push ups, crunches, stretches, etc....then followed by 30 minutes on the exercise bike. But I am SOOOOO bored of that! So yesterday I went out and got the new Wii Active. I havent actually done it, but I kinda put the disc in and tried it out this morning (I had a bad headache so I couldnt really do it)....but I think I'm going to love it! I'll probably do it after lunch today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TeacherZee Posted May 20, 2009 Share Posted May 20, 2009 Well done everyone! I did my regular run plus walked/ran a 5k yesterday (44 minutes) so today I just did some light exercise on the wii fit. I still have yesterdays and today's sparkpeople bootcamp videos to do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
~Tara~ Posted May 20, 2009 Share Posted May 20, 2009 Yep. Got my run in today. I'm working on stretching my distance. My *running* distance. I have an average run/walk distance, but, I had too much 'walk' in there...trying to up the running portion ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mazakaal Posted May 20, 2009 Share Posted May 20, 2009 I just got back from a couple mile walk with the kids. With the kids I have to walk pretty slowly, so there was no aerobic workout, but at least I got a little exercise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diann Posted May 20, 2009 Share Posted May 20, 2009 I ran 2 miles today. It is a beautiful sunny day here. Diann Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tricia Posted May 20, 2009 Share Posted May 20, 2009 On my way right now to do my 4 miles. Just waiting on 18 yo daughter to dress as she is going with me.:001_smile: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GWOB Posted May 20, 2009 Share Posted May 20, 2009 I did week 2, day 1 of the Couch-to-5K program today. Then, the kids and I did some gardening. Tomorrow is a strength training day. Will do either level 2 of 30-day Shred or another Jillian Michaels dvd. That woman kicks serious bum, but I feel so strong after a workout.

BalanceSeeker Posted May 20, 2009 Share Posted May 20, 2009 Yes, and I feel great! weights at the gym this morning, followed by 20" at steep incline on treadmill. Christa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mama2cntrykids Posted May 20, 2009 Share Posted May 20, 2009 Yes! Today I did. Yesterday I didn't and Monday I did. I use Leslie Sansone's "Walk Away the Pounds" and it works. It's pretty simple to adjust it to what you need and there are many different dvd's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pamela H in Texas Posted May 20, 2009 Author Share Posted May 20, 2009 YAY! I'm glad so many worked out! I'm going over the Christy's though. We SO badly want the EA Sports Active! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MomLovesClassics Posted May 20, 2009 Share Posted May 20, 2009 Yes, I did 45 minutes wii fitness coach too. I also like to walk but have not had the chance to do that yet. Wii fit users need to tell me how to unlock the step to 20minutes, so I can do that more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ashkraw Posted May 20, 2009 Share Posted May 20, 2009 I am headed to workout for 1hr and 30 minutes with my trainer. I have not felt like exercising all week though. I have made it one other day so far. I need to get motivated and start an ab workout daily. Haven't found the energy. Working on the mind set.

Rosie_0801 Posted May 20, 2009 Share Posted May 20, 2009 No I haven't, but it's not even 5am yet, and I never exercise before 5am! Yesterday I did some housework, does that count? Today we'll be walking down to the chiropractor and back. Assuming I'm not a complete wreck and unable to leave the house by then; I've been awake since the boy's feed at 1.30.

Blessedfamily Posted May 21, 2009 Share Posted May 21, 2009 I did a step workout this afternoon, and this evening I did the Firm's Cardio Dance Fusion. Yesterday, I did the new Jari Love Extremely Ripped. I enjoyed that. It was a good change. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aggie Posted May 21, 2009 Share Posted May 21, 2009 Yes! I finally hired a personal trainer.:001_smile: He wasn't there today, but I did arms and abs, then did week 2 of couch to 5k. Great thread! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
