Who is exercising today? Check in here and share what you did to exercise!

[BMW]

This morning, after too many years of ignoring the need to exercise, I put in a dance video workout and had a blast. And then I felt a surge of energy during the morning hours. Why haven't I been doing this the past few years?? It felt SO good.

 

What are you doing for exercise today and this week?

Jillian Michaels. No More Trouble Zones. I love her!

[Snickerdoodle]

Well, I've been exercising my jaws, as in:

 

Hurry up!

Get to work!

Be quiet, please!

 

Unfortunately, I don't feel energized from this exercise. I feel exhausted.

[Jeannie in NJ]

I went to the indoor community pool and swam laps for 45 min. I feel great. Dh is home 3 mornings a week so I will go to the pool on those days and the other 2 weekdays I will do my Leslie S. walking tapes. On weekends the entire family goes swimming and for long walks. I have lost 25 pounds since I started doing this 2 months ago.

[Homeschooling Hannah]

The kids and I take a break 4 days a week and swim laps for an hour and half. We drive over the the college in town here and use their indoor pool.

We do their workout given to us by their coach. They are on a swim team in the summer.

I feel GREAT since I've started swimming "working out" with them.

[tvaleri]

I do something every day. Either walk the dogs for 2-3 miles, work out on my elliptical for 45 minutes; pop in an Amy Bento strength training dvd; or a combo of all of these =)

 

Smiles,

Teresa

[bluemongoose]

I am going to a 1 hour hip hop class tonight!

[lynn]

I run/walk, nordic track, kettlebell, Jillian Michaels video, couple of prevention magazine workouts. Today is my day off but I think I'll run a few laps at the track when ds has football practice.

[May]

I walked about 5 miles. I do this 5 days a week. Just started to get back into weight training. I do this about 3 days a week.

[Julie in CA]

As soon as I finish cleaning the kitchen, I'm going to get on the treadmill.

I watch an hour-long show that I have on dvr, and I walk. Each time I get to a commercial break, I will jog for a minute then go back to walking, fast-forwarding through the rest of the commercial break. It should actually take me a bit under an hour, because of fast-forwarding out most of the commercials.

 

I'm really going to do it. Really. I am.

[Twigs]

30 minutes platform step watching Teaching Company - Dr. Fears - Lives of Famous Romans - Virgil.

[Mothersweets]

This morning I did Denise Austin's Body Makeover Mix and I feel so so good! I also have a few different Leslie Sansone walking videos and like her a lot, too.

[specialmama]

45 min on the incline trainer. Hurts so good!

[MotherGoose]

Does lugging around an almost-18-month-old who does not walk and all our stuff count? :)

[Karen in CO]

30 minutes platform step watching Teaching Company - Dr. Fears - Lives of Famous Romans - Virgil.

So that is classical exerising. :lol:

 

I am on week 3, Day 5 of my couch to 5k, so I did a 5 minute brisk walk, 7 minute jog, 5 minute brisk walk, then I walked with dd5 while she rode her bike for a mile and half which meant run, stop, walk, run, stop, stop run for a mile and a half.

[jenL]

I walked 3 miles this morning with a friend (T, Th, Sat routine). Tonight I do Yoga X with dh as part of the P90x series which we usually do M, W, F, Sat.

 

I started exercising 3 months ago, and I've been full of energy - it's great!

[Denisemomof4]

1.2 mile walk. Fast walk. I was told to only do 10 minutes because I sprained my ankle. It's so beautiful out..... I couldn't help myself.

[teacalm]

Jillian Michaels' Banish Fat Boost Metab this morning.

 

I always dread the thought of starting her dvds even though it's been more than three months since I started (June 7 this year). Hard, hard, super hard. I'm still doing it because the results has been spectacular, even more so when I added Banish Fat to No More Trouble Zone.

 

It's been frustrating because I actually weigh more now than when I started. My husband started running again after 22 years, and he already lost 10 of the 15 lbs he wanted to lose in just 3.5 weeks. IT's so UNFAIR. I didn't need to lose weight, but needed to get rid of the fat wrapping around my stomach and hips. I pretty much lost the fat around my waist, and only have an inch or two around my middle stomach, but I'm back to fitting solidly into my size.

 

I try doing both about 4 times a week; BFBM in the morning, and NMTZ at night.

[MomOfOneFunOne]

I walk an hour each morning. I don't know how far that is but we walk at a brisk pace and get all sweaty so it much be good exercise, right? ; )

[rwjx2khsmj]

I walked for 30 minutes with my dh this morning.

[Jennifer in MI]

Well, I've been exercising my jaws, as in:

 

Hurry up!

Get to work!

Be quiet, please!

 

Unfortunately, I don't feel energized from this exercise. I feel exhausted.

 

I call this cross training!!! :lol::lol:

 

I ran while pushing my dd in the stroller. I'm training for a marathon and today was my short, fast run. So, it was only 2.5 miles. But, I did it pushing a stroller in 20 minutes!!! I was pretty happy with that.

[Pretty in Pink]

I just started 30 Day Shred this week and I am *loving* it, so I'll be doing that again tonight.

[Tess in the Burbs]

I work out at night. today is 30 min on the recumbant bike and 3 sets of intense weight lifting....I believe today is squats for legs, some arm pull thing, kettle bells, overhead press and this arm lift thing that makes me hurt for days, lol

[Kim in Appalachia]

I did a variation on Baron Baptiste's Power Yoga. Tomorrow I'll run.

[Brigitte]

I did a run/walk this morning - more running than walking! I can't believe that I let myself go from being able to run 7 miles with no problem to not being able to run a mile without walking. :glare:

[dani3boys]

I did pilates for 30 minutes and then ran/walked on the treadmill for 45. I usually do this 5 times a week.

[lovetobehome]

Are you serious? You do TWO Jillian dvds a day??????? :eek::eek: You are incredible!

I love the Shred, too! When you get bored, try No More Trouble Zones, I like that even more.

This is a great motivational thread, we should start one each day to remind each other to workout!

[mrscopterdoc]

well, I got out of bed, got dressed and walked downstairs........does that count? :lol:

 

It has just been one of 'those' days where getting off the couch takes effort.

[susancollins]

I did 45 mintues on my gazelle today.

[Jean in Newcastle]

I did 45 mintues on my gazelle today.

 

What is a gazelle? And don't tell me it is an antelope like creature on the savannah!

[novagirl]

ZUMBA at the Ymca----loved it, didn't realize I was working out...more like dancing at a club:D:tongue_smilie: with no sleazy guys trying to pick you up:lol:

[Jennifer in MI]

I did a run/walk this morning - more running than walking! I can't believe that I let myself go from being able to run 7 miles with no problem to not being able to run a mile without walking. :glare:

 

:grouphug::grouphug: But you're BACK!!!!! You'll get back to 7 miles in no time!!!

 

 

well, I got out of bed, got dressed and walked downstairs........does that count? :lol:

 

It has just been one of 'those' days where getting off the couch takes effort.

 

some days, yes, this counts!!!!! Congratulations!!!!

[Satori]

I just got done walking the dog, now I'm walking on the treadmill watching a documentary. After 2 miles, I'll hop on the elliptical for 10 minutes, then do a bit of strength training. The phone just rang, and I thought I'd better check in on WTM... Back I go!

[Mama Geek]

I walk the new puppy and the new baby 1 1/2 miles every morning.

[WistfulRidge]

Once I put DS to bed I'll be doing some yoga, 30 minutes on the exercise bike, and then I'll go "run stairs" (up and down a flight of 100 stairs, 2-3 times, pending on how I feel) and then a 15 minute walk to cool down.

[Cera]

I ran half a mile with my 5 year old this morning and have every intention of doing P90x once the kids are in bed.

[MSNative]

So that is classical exerising. :lol:

.

:lol::lol: LOL!!

 

I taught pilates, bodypump and then bodystep back to back to back. Ugh. Too much but seems like everyone I work with is injured, sick or has sick kids. On the bright side, I digging into a bowl of mint chip ice cream with zero guilt. May even pour myself a medicinal glass of red wine.

[Hoggirl]

Jillian Michaels. No More Trouble Zones. I love her!

 

I do NMTZ 3 times a week, and "half" ('cause I only do the circuits one time) of Banish Fat/Boost Metabolism 2 times per week. There is no. way. I could do that entire BF/BM DVD. But I LOVE NMTZ.

[RamonaQ]

40 minutes on the elliptical, 10 minutes weights. I do that about 4 days/ week. I am hoping to be back to running again.

[LauraGB]

I played with the dog and dropped the kids off at the Y for racquetball (at which point I came home and looked up recipes). Does that count? Living vicariously, and all that?

 

I did do that today, but I'm only sort of kidding, because usually I do things while they are there (at the Y). I do have the kids signed up for a fair few Y activities, and during that time I usually walk the track, racking up about 2.5 miles for each lesson they have.

[MariannNOVA]

Jillian Michaels - 30 day shred

 

saturday: 30 day shred with weights

 

Waiting for No More Trouble Zones

 

She is the woman I love to hate!

[Britomart]

I try doing both about 4 times a week; BFBM in the morning, and NMTZ at night.

 

Good gravy. Color me impressed. I bet you're buff!

 

I just did Banish Fat, Boost Metabolism. That's enough for me for one day!

 

btw, has anyone seen the new DVDs that Bob Harper has coming out? They honestly look like they'll give BFBM/NMTZ a run for their money. I love, love, love Jillian's DVDs . . . but I admit, I'm looking forward to giving Bob's a try. If only for a new brand of torture. :tongue_smilie:

 

(I'm not associated, don't sell them, etc. Just think they look cool. And insane.)

[BridgeTea]

All right, my workout was pretty lame but at least I am back to moving my body. It's been awhile.

 

I did "Sit and Be Fit" (?) on PBS today. But I stood, exaggerated every movement to make the most of it, and chose heavier weights for the shoulder/arm stuff than what the 80 year old models were using. I'm pretty sure I am ready for a more challenging program.

 

Tomorrow morning is one episode of Boston Legal while I'm on a reclined treadmill - so, 42 minutes. Yoga in the afternoon.

[Pretty in Pink]

I love the Shred, too! When you get bored, try No More Trouble Zones, I like that even more.

 

Okay, I'll pick that one up the next time I'm out. Jillian is intense but sort of cracks me up when she tells me not to even think about turning off her DVD! LOL :lol:
