Mom-ninja. Posted November 13, 2011 Share Posted November 13, 2011 It's a new week. I hope to get a run in later. I tried to get up early to run, but my little one refused to let me out of bed. I figure he won't want to cuddle in bed with me for much longer, and running can wait. :001_smile: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AK_Mom4 Posted November 13, 2011 Share Posted November 13, 2011 I went skiing yesterday for the first time this season. My legs are SOOOOOO sore - and I thought I was in good shape! I should go out with DD10 and ski a bit again today. Her ski club starts Monday night and she needs to get her "ski legs" back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HollyDay Posted November 13, 2011 Share Posted November 13, 2011 plantar fasciitis has kept me out of running or walking or skating the last 3 days. I'm hoping to get back in the loop this week once that foot settles down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Truscifi Posted November 13, 2011 Share Posted November 13, 2011 I didn't realize you started your exercise week on Sunday, but I'd like to join in tomorrow. :) I got off track the last few weeks, but I plan to get back to my routine this week - which means cardio kickboxing Mon. and Wed. night, and karate and full contact kickboxing Tues. and Thur. night. Oh, and kata class on Saturday morning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xuzi Posted November 13, 2011 Share Posted November 13, 2011 Just got back from a full 7 mile run! It felt awesome!! (well, except for the wet feet part, because it rained pretty heavily last night, but I can manage that. :p ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BarbecueMom Posted November 13, 2011 Share Posted November 13, 2011 Finished 30DS Level 1 (again) this morning, starting Level 2 tomorrow. Also took the kids out to the state park near us, and a trail walk turned into a 20-minute jog. I'm amazed at how much energy and endurance 3-year-olds have!

StephanieZ Posted November 13, 2011 Share Posted November 13, 2011 (edited) Sunday: 10 mile run. Worshipped at the Church of the Deserted Trail -- just me and my husband. My favorite way to start the week. Bliss. Monday: Insanity Fit Test (Week3 Day1 test). I improved SO MUCH! Tuesday: Insanity Cardio Plyo (Wk3 Day2) + 4 mile FAST run. My 4 mile run was supposed to be slow and easy (11-12 min miles for me), but my crazy fast friend pushed our pace for me, lol. Avg 9:58 min miles, with each mile faster than the last (while we kept saying we were going to slow down). It was raining, she is fast and strong, and it was a short run. I was able to talk through it, but, wow, that was fast (for me, lol). Wednesday: Insanity Pure Cardio + Cardio Abs (Wk3Day3) Thursday: Insanity Cardio Recovery (Wk3D4) Friday: Insanity Cardio Power & Resistance (Wk3D5) Saturday: Couch Warming. (Insanity Wk3D6 officially skipped. So, shoot me.) Edited November 19, 2011 by StephanieZ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mom-ninja. Posted November 14, 2011 Author Share Posted November 14, 2011 How do I get rid of shin splints? What causes them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StephanieZ Posted November 14, 2011 Share Posted November 14, 2011 How do I get rid of shin splints? What causes them? Have you referred to Dr. Google, lol? I have had a lot of aches and pains in the last 15 months, and I've had a lot of success with Dr. G. LOL That said, ICE and a bit of rest always are good things. Rest doesn't mean total cessation of exercise, just reduction of intensity and/or alteration of activity to something that does not exacerbate the pain. ICE after exercise, plus a couple more times every day. Stretch regularly. Make sure your form is good in whatever exercises you do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elizabeth in WA Posted November 14, 2011 Share Posted November 14, 2011 Does anyone here have any experience with Spinning classes? SJ I do Spinning classes when I can find the motivation to get up early enough in the morning, as the easiest class for me time-wise is at 5:45 AM. It's a great workout, and since you control the tension on the bike you control the intensity throughout the class. Hmm, other things to note... Spin classes usually involve loud music, frequently popular music which may, depending on the venue, include some vulgar language. Also, unless you ride bikes regularly, your butt will be very sore by the end of the first class and hurt more if you do another class within a week. Gel seat overs can help a lot with this. And since I am in this thread, I ran 3.2 miles today. :) I generally log exercise through Runkeeper and over on fitocracy.com though, so no promises I'll update here again. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elizabeth in WA Posted November 14, 2011 Share Posted November 14, 2011 How do I get rid of shin splints? What causes them? Switching to a forefoot strike sometimes eliminates those, assuming they are from running and you are currently heel-striking. That along with going to minimalist shoes worked for me.

IATeachingMom Posted November 14, 2011 Share Posted November 14, 2011 I've never posted on an exercise thread on these forums but I thought if I "told" someone then it might make me accountable? Last week I did the elliptical for 10 min. 3x/week. This week I'm shooting for 12min 4x/week and a push-up set. I know, not real interesting, but I'm hoping it gets done!

Renee in NC Posted November 14, 2011 Share Posted November 14, 2011 30 Day Shred Level 2, Day 1 I thought I was going to DIE!:tongue_smilie: The biggest problem is that so many of the exercises are done in plank position, and, well, I can't do that very easily.

Jennifer in MI Posted November 14, 2011 Share Posted November 14, 2011 Jennifer, are you still running much? You seen to be doing so much Insanity stuff! Impressive! Are you taking a break from running due to injury, wanting a temporary break, burnout, or just a change of interest? What are your current running goals? Hmmmm . . . Where to start? I consider myself a runner even when I'm not running. Weird, right? Running is what got me started getting back into shape after having my kids. I love it and will always do it. BUT, I get burned out easily. And, I find that I actually gain inches when I run. My body seems to need more. I tried running and doing Insanity/Asylum and it was just too much. This past couple months, I ran while training for my half 3x/week and did Asylum 3x/week as cross training. Worked pretty well. Now that it's cold out, I don't wanna' go outside!!!! So, I'm doing the P90X/Asylum hybrid with a couple other people here. I will probably do a Turkey Trot on Thanksgiving and a Hot Cocoa 8K in January without training. I think from now on I'll enter a couple short races every year and one half marathon. I'm addicted to the finish line!! LOL My running goals? To continue to do it. If I start to set time goals, it ceases to be fun for me. So, I don't. I did get faster by using Asylum though, so that was a nice benefit! Okay - off to finish homeschooling!

Oh my goodness, I've tried that too, and I eventually had to give up trying to do more than 5lbs on that first circuit. I think it's the lunges with the arms out to the sides that makes it impossible (for me at least). I'd rip up my shoulders if I used too-heavy weights on that one.

Elizabeth in WA Posted November 15, 2011 Share Posted November 15, 2011 Today I ran one mile with ds(almost)14 just to see how fast we could do a single mile, then walked home (not too far since we were running a loop around our complex) and picked up ds11 and dd9 for a slower 1.6 mile run. Ds(almost)14 came along for the second run as well. Ds16 was excused from running (phys ed?) since he has a bad cold. This evening, after kidlets were off to activities or excused to free time, I hit the gym and did full body, compound lift weight training which I try to do 3x each week. Ideally, I would get that done bright and early before school starts for the day, but my workout partner had cancelled the night before and I had opted for the extra sleep instead.
