Mom-ninja. Posted February 5, 2012 Share Posted February 5, 2012 Happy Sunday. What are your plans this week for staying/getting in shape? I didn't get in a work out all weekend. Yesterday, I had an early meeting. Today I spent the day scrubbing the house. I borrowed a DVD from the library so I'm going to try that this week.

LG Gone Wild Posted February 5, 2012 Share Posted February 5, 2012 Happy Sunday. What are your plans this week for staying/getting in shape? I didn't get in a work out all weekend. Yesterday, I had an early meeting. Today I spent the day scrubbing the house. I borrowed a DVD from the library so I'm going to try that this week. Bet your back will be sore! Proving yet again that one should just press play; I was feeling so lousy, fat, sick, ugly, high and goofy (cold medication) and whatever. I popped in a Month 1 Insanity DVD and had an incredible workout! :confused: I blew right through it and then for some unknown reason, I decided to try for splits; something I haven't done in probably a year. I nearly did full splits in all three directions. ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xuzi Posted February 5, 2012 Share Posted February 5, 2012 8 mile long run today. First time in a few weeks I've been able to get one in due to the weather, and it showed in my time. :p Oh well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tracy in Ky Posted February 6, 2012 Share Posted February 6, 2012 Today I only did my couch to 5K running. I would like to have done more, but I slept in a little then rushed to church, then was gone again this evening. It is probably good for me to have a rest day anyway.

PeacefulChaos Posted February 6, 2012 Share Posted February 6, 2012 Well, it's Monday, and I actually got up and did a little bit of exercise today! :) 20 minute Zumba express. Not much, and I actually like going to the hour long class better. This was just an at home thing. But at least I was up and moving... I guess it's a start. :leaving: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xuzi Posted February 6, 2012 Share Posted February 6, 2012 5.3 miles on the treadmill this morning. The last mile was the worst, because someone hopped onto the treadmill next to mine (this was at the gym) who obviously hadn't showered in a while. They smelled like a litter box. :ack2: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Monday - Jackie Warner's Power Circuit Training. I am going to take about a two-week break from Pump. We are traveling some next week, and I hurt my back a bit last week. Dh says I am trying to do too much weight too soon. I took off last Friday - Sunday. Exercising today, definitely helped me be less sore, but I am a little gun-shy of Pump right now, so I am going to go back to my "usual" for the next couple of weeks.

LG Gone Wild Posted February 7, 2012 Share Posted February 7, 2012 Insanity Cardio Power and Resistance ... and P90X2 Chest, Back, and Balance.

I will save Ab Ripper X for tomorrow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm going to ask DH if he wants to do the challenge with me. :) I'm going to start Monday. My 11 yr old wants to do the challenge. Would it be too much for him?

PeacefulChaos Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 I went to zumba today!! :D It was the class that I referenced yesterday. I was hesitant to do it again, because I do like it so much but the $$ is a little :glare: ... $5/class + $1/kid childcare. But I can get 10 classes for $40 or 20 classes for $60. I can only go once a week right now (classes are T/Th at 4 and DH has an EMT class Th at 6 - not enough time to get home and get dinner), but I'm thinking I'm going to try to make it a regular Tuesday thing. :) I'm really motivated. I hope I can keep this feeling and do it. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LG Gone Wild Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 Insanity Pure Cardio.

Jean in Newcastle Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 Tuesday - Zumba. I have to confess that I am very selfishly hoping that all the new people who have flooded the Y will lose interest in their resolutions. The Y now has to have valet parking to handle all the cars. We were crammed into the gym for Zumba! OK - OK - maybe I should hope that a very rich donor would pay to have the Y expanded instead!

Zumba was PACKED from about January to the end of March, then when the warm weather hit attendance started to diminish, and eventually got back to a much more reasonable size. (for a while you had to be there 30 minutes early to get a spot anywhere near the front, where you could actually see the instructor!) For some reason that same huge influx of attendees hasn't happened this year. And for that I'm grateful. :tongue_smilie: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LG Gone Wild Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 Yoga was a bust. There was a time when I really loved yoga. Did it all the time! Now I find it so irritating.

Jean in Newcastle Posted February 9, 2012 Share Posted February 9, 2012 I want to go to Zumba tonight. I'm not sure if I can. My right foot started to swell and ache yesterday out of the blue. Now my left foot is also swollen. I'm hobbling around. I'm going to do the high doses of natural and over-the-counter anti-inflammatories and soak my feet in epsom salts thing this morning. I don't want to give up my momentum on exercise but don't want to make it worse either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SJ. Posted February 9, 2012 Share Posted February 9, 2012 Today I did BodyStep & BodyPump. I took a break yesterday. I have been pretty tired lately. I don't know if it is because I just had a head cold and there are sick people everywhere, if it is because I just started my cycle, or if it is because the new step release is so hard and I have been overtraining. Maybe a combo of all three? I have been thinking of taking a week, maybe two, and just doing yoga. Then I was thinking of doing the workout program in Jillian Michael's Making the Cut. I have contemplated this before but I usually keep doing what I always do at the gym. We'll see. SJ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm having a hard time getting up early enough to get in as much exercise as I want. Yes, me too. My dc are much older, but lately I've been having a very hard time. If I don't exercise in the morning, it won't happen later. Don't worry, these things come and go. Your little one will soon grow. :grouphug: Now, what to do about my aching shoulder?

I don't even know what some of the things are you're talking about. But I want to get back to exercising and I have a Y membership that is getting decent use. I did manage, a couple of months ago, to do 1 hour or more of exercise, 5 times a week, mostly at the Y, sometimes at home. THAT is what I want to get back to! So, I will be doing baby steps compared to some of you, but I'd LOVE to have people to be responsible to! :001_smile: Do you do an exercise thread every week?
