MrsBanjoClown Posted February 24, 2013 Share Posted February 24, 2013 This morning I did program 2 of Yoga for Pregnancy. My plan for the rest of the week is: Walking 4-5 days for 15 minutes.

Soror Posted February 24, 2013 Share Posted February 24, 2013 Not a great week last week, between long busy days and just being busy w/ school/house/family and bad weather. Hopefully this one is better: Goal: 3 days yoga 1-2 days bodyweight circuits 2-3 days walking (if the weather is decent) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mom-ninja. Posted February 24, 2013 Share Posted February 24, 2013 I need to find yin yoga online to do today. I got up this morning and when I bent slightly over to pick up my dog's ball my back did protest in acute pain. Weird. I've never had this happen before. It's like I twisted/pulled the muscle. I guess because my muscles are cold. I heard from my neighbor (a cop) that a guy in his squad tore the ligament on his calf. He is a very fit man and works out all the time. He just happened to push a broken down car away from the side of the road and the ligament snapped. The doctor said it was because the leg was cold and when things are cold they are not flexible they are brittle. Yikes! Makes me want to buy leg warmers. Now, to find a good yin yoga on youtube.....

bettyandbob Posted February 25, 2013 Share Posted February 25, 2013 I walked 6 miles with the running club yesterday. I walked 3.5 miles with my bother today, did day 1 of week 3 of the 200 squats program and did Booty Time from Shaun T's Rockin Body *note to self Booty Time relies heavily on squats it probably was not the best thing to follow 5 sets of squats with. I'll do more Rockin Body and Hip Hop Abs videos and maybe go out with my brother one more time. I'm shooting for 60 minutes a day/ 6 days this week.

blessed3x Posted February 25, 2013 Share Posted February 25, 2013 Thanks for this post! I just started working out with my cousin at the local gym. We are doing a bootcamp class @6am M, W & F. I started last week but am loving it. I want to strengthen -especially my core- and then start running. One step at a time though.....

Mom-ninja. Posted February 25, 2013 Share Posted February 25, 2013 Day 5 of BeFit in 90. Very much enjoying Gareth or Garrett (can't catch the name quite right). My back hurt all day yesterday and I was careful to take it easy. This morning it still hurt and I figured I needed to work out or it would just get tighter. I'm glad I did. My back feels so much better now. Still tender but not tight and locked down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoggirl Posted February 25, 2013 Share Posted February 25, 2013 Sunday: Off day Monday: BBL Sculpt I saw on Amazon that Jillian Michael's has a new DVD being released on March 5 - Hard Body. The promos I saw on Youtube look tough! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kim in Appalachia Posted February 25, 2013 Share Posted February 25, 2013 This morning was kettlebell. I tried using a heavier bell for my "cleans" and bruised my wrist. I then went to Amazon and ordered wrist protection. :) Tomorrow I run and do yoga, then Wed is kettlebell (and a birthday party for my ds10. That will be a workout too. :) ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mom-ninja. Posted February 25, 2013 Share Posted February 25, 2013 I have a question to those who work out in the mornings. Do you eat before? If yes how long do you wait before working out? What do you eat? I'm trying to find the right balance. I hate working out if I've eaten within 3 hours. I have a high probability of vomiting. Yet, I will really feel drained if I workout since not haven eaten dinner the day before. I used to drink a small glass of juice with a bit of protein powder. However, I've stopped drinking juice. This morning I ate an orange and that seemed to work well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Critterfixer Posted February 25, 2013 Share Posted February 25, 2013 Day off today. I tend to eat about two to three hours before I run. My best running fuel happens to be a banana. Now I hate bananas, but they are one of the few things I can eat and not feel like throwing up during a hard run. I can also get away with about half a cup of yogurt. So it's either the banana or the yogurt. What's hard for me is getting enough water before I run, but I'm learning how to hydrate on the fly.

jenn- Posted February 25, 2013 Share Posted February 25, 2013 Today was a tough day of karate for an hour with an instructor that had way too much energy. I skimped on breakfast this morning and by 30 minutes in, my body was taking its revenge. This was the first class I thought I wasn't going to make it through since the first class I did. Must fuel body to make it move. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soror Posted February 25, 2013 Share Posted February 25, 2013 Sunday: Off Monday: Short and Sweet Yoga #1 I usually work out in the am. Sometimes I eat a bit sometimes not. I ate a few pieces of bacon this am and then a bit of blueberries and coconut milk afterwards, fwiw. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Negin Posted February 26, 2013 Author Share Posted February 26, 2013 About to do Quick Callanetics: Stomach. Hoping to do some Leslie later today if I have time. I have a question to those who work out in the mornings. Do you eat before? If yes how long do you wait before working out? What do you eat?I used to drink a small glass of juice with a bit of protein powder. However, I've stopped drinking juice. This morning I ate an orange and that seemed to work well. It depends on how long I've been up. So far this morning, I've only had water and will likely not be eating anything before working out. If I'm hungry, I might have some nuts or a banana or some other fruit. On the days that I have protein powder, I mix it with almond milk. Good reminder for me and any of us who have a tendency to worry about weight. Focus on habits instead. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LG Gone Wild Posted February 26, 2013 Share Posted February 26, 2013 BeFit in 90 again. I'm starting to get bored with it. I have exercise ADD. I have that, too. Last week was not that great. I went ballistic with junk food, some kind of hormonally mood disorder or something. Picking up P90X again. A day late but I just finished Core Synergistics. I used to hate that workout but I am really enjoying it. Last week I couldn't even do a bow pose. Today I was able to do it just like old times. ETA: Also did CardioX so that I am on schedule.

MrsBanjoClown Posted February 27, 2013 Share Posted February 27, 2013 I've had a change up this week. So far I've done: Sunday - Yoga Monday - Walking Tuesday - Rest Day Wednesday - Changed it up this morning with a short workout on the recumbent bike (15 min.). I was disappointed to find that I burned far fewer calories on the bike than walking. I'm not too concerned about it, though, as my point in working out right now is to be healthy, not to lose weight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luckymama Posted February 27, 2013 Share Posted February 27, 2013 Yesterday I did NMTZ. I don't know what I'll do today-----either NMTZ again or I'll try a yoga DVD I got from the library (it was recommended on this thread one week, Yoga for Weight Loss (?)) Dh tried NMTZ this weekend. It kicked his butt :D I've lost an inch from my waist since Feb 1 :party: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soror Posted February 27, 2013 Share Posted February 27, 2013 Yesterday ended up being a rest day. DD2 has a cold and didn't sleep very well Mon night and the baby was nursing more than usual as well so we just got a late start to the day and I was tired to be honest. I'm up early today so I'm optimistic that I'll get yoga done. Walking is not looking very promising this week, it seems the weather people were seriously wrong. I'm not really keen on taking all the kids out in windy, sleety, and cold weather, especially with 2 of them now having colds. luckymama- congrats on the loss! Friday I'm doing official weigh in and measure for the month. I don't think I'll have much loss but I'm hoping for a bit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mom-ninja. Posted February 27, 2013 Share Posted February 27, 2013 I've lost an inch from my waist since Feb 1 :party: WooHoo! Great job. You've been working hard. Weight is just not the best indicator of one's fitness. Just the other day I came across a woman who is my height and weighs less than me. However, my measurements are smaller. So while I weigh a few pounds more I'm pretty sure it's muscle as muscle weighs more yet takes up less space than fat cells. I'm still wondering how someone who weighs 92-93 lbs (and same height as me) can have a bigger bust, hips, and waist than I do. I mean I know the difference between fat cells and muscle cells but it still baffles me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miss Marple Posted February 27, 2013 Share Posted February 27, 2013 Sunday: jogged and walked on the treadmill for 2 miles; did the stairstepper for 5 minutes (ARGH!!!); used weight machines and actually added weight to a couple of them. Monday: Yoga - I saw an improvement from last week. I was able to balance more easily. Tuesday: Ultimate Core - again I saw improvement from when I first started (this was my 3rd class). My upper body is much stronger. I can actually do a real pushup! I have lost almost an inch off my natural waist since the beginning of February. The area around my middle (belly button area) is still measuring the same. I'm blaming it on the boys :) Does anyone have a recommendation for a good yoga mat? I don't want to spend a fortune, but would like a nice one because I have bony knees and my wrists bother me a lot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mom-ninja. Posted February 27, 2013 Share Posted February 27, 2013 I bought my mat at a yoga studio. It was $15. I also see them all the time at TJMaxx if you have one of those around you. I want one of the EcoWise ones I've seen there. Target has mats as well. You just want to get one that doesn't slip. There's also Amazon. Oh, as for your stomach check to see if you have diastisis recti. It will prevent you from being able to get a flat stomach. I have it, but it's not bad. It's a one finger split. I should work on fixing it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean I know the difference between fat cells and muscle cells but it still baffles me. I'm like this, only at a higher weight. I've always been pretty muscular and probably weigh 15 pounds more than I look. I am overweight now, but my optimal weight (ah I remember those days) is the high end of the normal BMI for someone my height.

Soror Posted February 27, 2013 Share Posted February 27, 2013 I just bought my yoga mat at Wal-Mart it was aobut $8. I went ahead and did my weight and measurements this am. I'm down 3.4lbs for the month, .5 in on my waist and 1 in on my hips. My short term goal is 2 in on my waist and hips and 10 lbs. I'll ease up after that and work on building strength and eating healthy and see where I end up. I really worked on diastasis recti exercises after this baby and wore the splint as well. I really think it helped my belly go down faster than usual. My waist is right at 30 in now. That is not super small but pretty good for 3.5 months post-partum. I don't have a split that I can feel anymore but still avoid certain exercises. Generally my core work is plank and such. I'm getting stronger but I've got a long way to go in that dept. Oh, and I did my Short and Sweet Yoga workout this am. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Critterfixer Posted February 27, 2013 Share Posted February 27, 2013 Welcome to new people. Chapter Wednesday-a four mile or so run in which it is discovered that I do NOT like the turf course, and a resolution is formed to build a portable walking bridge to cross the creek when it is just too wide to leap. My ankles may never be the same. Off to elevate and ice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kim in Appalachia Posted February 28, 2013 Share Posted February 28, 2013 Negin, sorry you didn't sleep well. I hate that. It seems to happen more and more these days. Have a great swim. It always sounds so fun, when you post you're going swimming in the ocean. :) I'm on a rest day today. I did kettlebells yesterday and I ran as well as yoga on Tuesday. Friday is kettlebells, Saturday a run/yoga, and Sunday more kettlebells. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luckymama Posted February 28, 2013 Share Posted February 28, 2013 This is on my wishlist. Is it a big step up from 30 day shred? Honestly, I think NMTZ is easier than 30 Day Shred, at least for me. It's a heck of a lot longer but it's not nearly as jumpy and doesn't rely on as many plank-based moves (I have a weaker right shoulder that is recovering from biceps tendonitis followed by frozen shoulder 18 months ago). When I don't have time for the full workout I just do the warmup, 3 or 4 circuits (out of 7), and the stretch/cool down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mom-ninja. Posted February 28, 2013 Share Posted February 28, 2013 What is frozen shoulder? I have weak shoulders and at times they ache. I ignore it and push through. Kim, you're enticing me to try kettle ball. I haven't yet and I love to do new things. I did a cardio mix this morning. Running, dance, threw in some weights and body weight training. Just kind of jumped around doing what ever I wanted. Did everyone see Denise Austin this morning on Yahoo? She looks amazing! I want to look like that at 55.

jenn- Posted February 28, 2013 Share Posted February 28, 2013 Yesterday was 45 minutes of karate. My normal Wednesday instructor wasn't there and my torturous Monday instructor was her fill in.

When I don't have time for the full workout I just do the warmup, 3 or 4 circuits (out of 7), and the stretch/cool down. It's been such a long time since I did the 30DS, that I don't remember much about it. NMTZ is definitely less jumpy, which I prefer. I don't know if I would say it is "easier," though. When it started to seem too easy, I upped the amount of the weights. I use 8 lbs for all the circuits except for the first one where I only use 5 lb-ers. Like you, if I am low on time, I only do part of it. To do less time, I like to do each of the circuits one time through and the last one in its entirety, since she doesn't really go through it twice.

Critterfixer Posted February 28, 2013 Share Posted February 28, 2013 Ran about 30 minutes on the turf course today. The creek is still too high to jump without risk of hurting myself. I was pretty sore after yesterday, so I needed to run a little today mostly to stretch out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
