Mom-ninja. Posted January 2, 2013 Posted January 2, 2013 "Get fit and stay fit!" Thought a little Denise Austen quote fit nicely for the new year. :D I missed work outs for three days. This morning I did Tracy Anderson cardio for 30 min and then we went on a family bike ride of 7 miles. How are you starting off the year? Quote
UmMusa Posted January 2, 2013 Posted January 2, 2013 DH and I started a little weight lifting routine today. We have a new machine and are hoping to tone. I've been watching, and reducing, my calories for a few days now to reel in what I've let go the past 6 months. I'm hoping to shed 7-10 pounds in the next few months. Quote
Joyofsixreboot Posted January 2, 2013 Posted January 2, 2013 I just took a walk with DH yesterday. In about 10 minutes I'm going to run 4 miles. Hopefully I'll fit some yoga in later today. Quote
NavyMommy Posted January 2, 2013 Posted January 2, 2013 I hope it's okay if I add mine :) I didn't do anything yesterday since we were in the car all day (spend the New Year at my inlaws). Today though I'm up and dressed and have 1 kid ready to go, just need to get the other one ready and I'm going to head to the gym for Step class. It's my favorite class of the week. The only thing I don't like is that there is a 2 hour limit on childcare, but a 15 minute lag between classes so I can't make both Step and Yoga. I got to do that a few times when DH was home over the holiday and it was wonderful. Quote
elegantlion Posted January 2, 2013 Posted January 2, 2013 I did a 30 minute walk on the 30th, then got sick that night. I'm still in bed,so I'm out of it for the next few days. Quote
Luckymama Posted January 2, 2013 Posted January 2, 2013 Treadmill on Sunday, then 30 Day Shred yesterday and today. I did 30DS for ten days in the summer but my shoulder still wasn't up to even 1lb weight then so I stopped. I'm happy to say that my flexibility is probably 90% of what it was pre-injury (biceps tenonitis followed by frozen shoulder summer-fall 2011). I have like NO strength though. I hope to make it through all 30 days this time :) Any gentle yoga recommendations? Bonus points if I can view at least a portion on YouTube first! Quote
BigMamaBird Posted January 2, 2013 Posted January 2, 2013 I've committed to doing two 5Ks this summer so I'm starting back at square on on the Couch to 5K. I did Week 1 Day 1 twice through yesterday. And now that the baby is taking consistent afternoon naps I want to start doing my workout DVDs again during nap time. We got some blinds yesterday for the living room and installed them so I can do Zumba without the neighbors getting a good laugh! My plan is C25K and a DVD on alternating days, taking on day off a week for rest. Quote

There are some On Demand Yoga videos on there. Quote
SJ. Posted January 2, 2013 Posted January 2, 2013 I did BodyStep yesterday. It was hard for me to keep up, which is unusual or me, so I took it pretty easy. I think my body is trying to fight off all the germs in the house. Quote
Critterfixer Posted January 2, 2013 Posted January 2, 2013 Felt terrible yesterday and only managed to run 2 miles. Much, much better today after a good rest last night, and ran 4 miles, felt pretty good at the end, too. Resolution for exercise the year is to improve my minutes per mile time and add strength work. To that end I will be checking out the exercise DVDs at the library. I can keep one for two weeks which should give me time to try and see what I like best. Quote
Hoggirl Posted January 2, 2013 Posted January 2, 2013 Monday - JM NMTZ Tuesday - Holiday!! OFF! Wednesday - Jackie Warner's Power Circuit Training Quote
Mandylubug Posted January 3, 2013 Posted January 3, 2013 Ran 2 miles yesterday, in the rain lol... today I babysat two little girls that kept me on my toes. Literally running after them around the house to keep them out of the mud. That counts right? Quote
Critterfixer Posted January 3, 2013 Posted January 3, 2013 Got in three miles with 5 hill repeats. I'm nursing a bum foot, though. I think I've got plantar fasciitis. The ice bag awaits. Quote
Mom-ninja. Posted January 3, 2013 Author Posted January 3, 2013 Any gentle yoga recommendations? Bonus points if I can view at least a portion on YouTube first! I just did Mark Laham Yin yoga on youtube. It's about 25 min or so. I liked it. I want to buy his dvds. Before the yoga I did 30 day shred level 2. Quote
Mandylubug Posted January 4, 2013 Posted January 4, 2013 ran another 2 miles this morning. Can't wait till spring so I can shed this jacket while I run. I hate the layers :/ Quote
Sherri in MI Posted January 4, 2013 Posted January 4, 2013 Well I checked out a 15 Minute Dance Workout dvd from the library yesterday. But I haven't exercised yet this week, unless you count Wii Tennis :). I do tend to move around a lot playing that. My son barely moves when he plays it. Quote
Hunter's Moon Posted January 4, 2013 Posted January 4, 2013 Unfortunately, my exercising has fallen by the wayside. I used to get up early in the morning to exercise because no one was in the living room, but now my dad is. DH is sleeping in bedroom, and we are also on the second floor, so I can't jump too much. I can't run in the Winter because it really irritates my asthma. Maybe if I built up to it more before the cold weather began. I might just try some Pilates and strength for now. Quote

Critterfixer Posted January 5, 2013 Posted January 5, 2013 Saturday 1/5 Ran 3 miles Foot is still troubling me. Time to get that extra set of new shoes and a boot for sleeping in to get this thing better. Quote
Mom-ninja. Posted January 5, 2013 Author Posted January 5, 2013 Saturday 1/5 Ran 3 miles Foot is still troubling me. Time to get that extra set of new shoes and a boot for sleeping in to get this thing better. Maybe now is the time to start on that strengh you were talking about. Perhaps some yoga/pilates? Give your foot a chance to heal completely without stress. Biking would be good cardio without strain on your foot. Quote
Luckymama Posted January 5, 2013 Posted January 5, 2013 I've been sticking with 30DS every day. I am so much stronger than when I first tried it in August :) Quote
SJ. Posted January 6, 2013 Posted January 6, 2013 I went to BodyStep this morning. It is the beginning of January so of course class was very, very full. I am going to need to be on top of being on class a bit early to ensure I get a space in the classes I take. On one hand I love seeing new people begin a fitness routine, on the other I know most of them are going to fizzle away by March and I can't help but feel a bit inconvenienced by the crowds in class and in the parking lot. Quote
Hoggirl Posted January 6, 2013 Posted January 6, 2013 Thursday - nothing. Got up early to beat the crowds at the DMV to get my driver's license renewed! Friday - BBL - Sculpt Saturday - BBL High & Tight and Bob Harper's Yoga Abs I have exercised four days a week for the last three weeks and am hoping to get back up to my usual of five days a week NEXT week!

elegantlion Posted January 6, 2013 Posted January 6, 2013 I did nothing all week due to illness. Just wanted to type that out, as I'm trying to be accountable to others. Probably won't start back anything until Tuesday at least. Quote
