Negin Posted March 10, 2013 Author Share Posted March 10, 2013 Stretching today - that's it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fourisenough Posted March 10, 2013 Share Posted March 10, 2013 Well, I'm leaving in 30 minutes to go to the gym with a friend. I don't like going, but it is so much more palatable with a conversation partner (who runs faster on the treadmill than I do, so she inspires me). I've been doing a lot of walking (15 minute mile pace) with 1.5 pound weights in each hand so I get a little upper-body toning while I walk. I love this and plan to keep it up. I'm already seeing some increased muscle definition in my arms and shoulders. Yea! Happy exercising! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kim in Appalachia Posted March 10, 2013 Share Posted March 10, 2013 Today is a kettlebell workout, but I would love to have a short run too, maybe just a mile. The kettlebell workout is light, with no squats so it may be doable. This week I move onto phase 2 of the kettlebell program. It really picks up with the squats and presses, as well as some extra core work. I think I'll be sore a lot this week. :) It's been fun to see that I can progress. I started off with a 15 lb kettlebell, but I now can do cleans with a 25 pound bell. I'm using the 25 lb for everything but presses. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soror Posted March 10, 2013 Share Posted March 10, 2013 Lazy week last week, only 1 day of yoga and 1 day of walking. Hopefully this week is better, the weather is promising. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Negin Posted March 11, 2013 Author Share Posted March 11, 2013 Yoga stretches this morning and swimming this afternoon gym with a friend. I don't like going, but it is so much more palatable with a conversation partner Yes. I can relate. I'm not much of a gym type at all. I've been doing a lot of walking (15 minute mile pace) with 1.5 pound weights in each hand so I get a little upper-body toning while I walk. Great job. :D I started off with a 15 lb kettlebell, but I now can do cleans with a 25 pound bell. I'm using the 25 lb for everything but presses. That's wonderful! :) Lazy week last week, only 1 day of yoga and 1 day of walking. We all need these weeks at times. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mom in High Heels Posted March 11, 2013 Share Posted March 11, 2013 Oh, I'll join in! I recently started doing Walk Away the Pounds and really like it. You do a 1,2,3 or 4 mile walk in your house (which sounds weird, but it's not). M-Th of last week I did the 1 mile walk, which was a decent workout. Friday was not my friend, so I didn't work out. Today I did the 2 mile and I was sweating like mad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mom-ninja. Posted March 11, 2013 Share Posted March 11, 2013 We're back from camping. We hiked a bit this weekend and I tried to run a little. Found a tick on my leg while hiking. Not cool. I hate ticks. Luckily, I felt it start to bite and got it off before the head embedded. Ticks are nasty. This morning I did Jackie Warner Power Circuit....the 15 min version because I need to do camping laundry, put camping stuff away, and pick up my dog. Hopefully, I can squeeze in something more later. I need heavier weights. I'm also toying with the idea of kettle ball because of a certain someone here that keeps talking about it. ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Negin Posted March 12, 2013 Author Share Posted March 12, 2013 Yoga moves this morning Beach this afternoon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fourisenough Posted March 12, 2013 Share Posted March 12, 2013 Beach? I want to go to the beach. As I've said before, March in Michigan is a real challenge for the spirit: the ground, sky, and concrete are all the same color. We had a glimmer of sunshine and warmer temps the last couple of days which was helpful, but it was followed by a steel gray day and a drizzle of rain. The only upside to the rain is that it washed away the last of the dirty snow! Despite the weather, I've been really good about exercise lately, though (or maybe because of the weather - I find exercise THE BEST pick-me-up). I escaped a house full of sick kids to go to the gym for an hour. I spent 45 minutes on the elliptical machine and came home dripping with sweat and feeling much perkier!

Mom in High Heels Posted March 12, 2013 Share Posted March 12, 2013 Yoga moves this morning Beach this afternoon I am so not a beach person (pale skin that burns, peels and then burns some more), but as I watch the snow swirl around outside, I'm thinking the beach not be a bad place right now.

Mom-ninja. Posted March 12, 2013 Share Posted March 12, 2013 I did BeFit in 90 again. Haven't done it in a week or so. I skipped ahead to month 2 because I'm bored easily. Really liked it. Wish I could hire Garrett to be my personal trainer. :drool5: I'd work out all day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jenn- Posted March 12, 2013 Share Posted March 12, 2013 Sunday was a couple of miles around a campground on the bike with the kids. Monday was 1 hour of karate. All 3 of my boys passed their yellow belt testing this weekend, so we are all excited for them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miss Marple Posted March 12, 2013 Share Posted March 12, 2013 Sunday - 1.5 hours various (walking on treadmill, bicycle, stair-stepper, elliptical, weight machines). Didn't intend to do so much but my son was called in to cover the last of another worker's life guard shift - we went to the rec center together. So...time just got away from me. There was nothing else to do :) Monday - Yoga. The instructor spent a lot of time on upper body (my weakness). The exciting news is: I can do the "roll up to a sitting position"! I was lamenting that I could not do that a while back, so I was pleasantly surprised that I was able to do it. I guess that means this Yoga stuff is doing its job :) Still can't do a chaturanga, but I'm getting lower each time. Tuesday - (tonight) Ultimate Core for 45 minutes. I'm usually worn out by the end of it . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Critterfixer Posted March 13, 2013 Share Posted March 13, 2013 Took all last week off to let things heal. My foot still aches most of the time, but my good leg is much, much better. Started in today with a 4 mile bike ride with the boys. Tomorrow I plan on a two or three mile run, nice and slow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elegantlion Posted March 13, 2013 Share Posted March 13, 2013 Sunday & Monday: off Tuesday: walk 45 minutes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Negin Posted March 13, 2013 Author Share Posted March 13, 2013 Can't go to the beach for a while since my foot has duct tape on it in order to heal a plantar wart. Hoping to do some yoga stretching later. I am so not a beach person (pale skin that burns, peels and then burns some more), but as I watch the snow swirl around outside, I'm thinking the beach not be a bad place right now. I avoid the sun and go in the very late afternoon. Yes, I think that you would like our beach. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gardenmom5 Posted March 13, 2013 Share Posted March 13, 2013 did yoga yesterday and today. dh says he can see a difference, and I feel it. I also did heavy yard work on saturday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kim in Appalachia Posted March 13, 2013 Share Posted March 13, 2013 So I did the first day of month 2 of Kettlebells for Women, and it kicked my b*tt. I loved the workout, simple but effective. I'm sore in all the good places. :) The first month was so easy, which was good. It set a good foundation and let me get used to a little weight work with my running. Today is a yoga day. I didn't do yoga this morning because my dh is sick and slept in (that's my yoga room). But I can make time this afternoon. I need it. Tomorrow is more kettlebell.

Mom-ninja. Posted March 13, 2013 Share Posted March 13, 2013 Can't go to the beach for a while since my foot has duct tape on it in order to heal a plantar wart. You know that never worked for me. I don't know why because I hear people say it works for them. I ran in my backyard for 30 mins. Half of it is uphill. Whew. Then I did day 32 of BeFit in 90.

Critterfixer Posted March 13, 2013 Share Posted March 13, 2013 Did two miles today on my turf course. Then I raked my turf course of sticks, so that I don't do a trip-jump-land-ouch like I did today! Not bad though. Iced my foot and ankle afterwards and elevated. I don't know what to do about this foot. I guess I'm going to have to go see someone about it--grrrr.

Well, perhaps take a long time off from running. There are many other things you can do for exercise. One site I read said it's good to switch your routine every 3-4 months.

LG Gone Wild Posted March 14, 2013 Share Posted March 14, 2013 Recovery Week of P90X - I did BJJ, Submission Wrestling, and Muay Thai this week so far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mom-ninja. Posted March 14, 2013 Share Posted March 14, 2013 Nothing today. Dealing with 2 sick kids and a broken septic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Negin Posted March 15, 2013 Author Share Posted March 15, 2013 You know that never worked for me. I don't know why because I hear people say it works for them. The first time that I had one, I ended up having surgery because it was so deep. When I get plantar warts, mine are very deep. The second time, I heard about the duct tape method here and my friend who's a podiatrist told me to try it. It worked like a charm. I can't remember how long it took - maybe a month. I hope it works this time. I hope that it doesn't take too long. I miss the beach already. Until the fasting period is over (next week), swimming would have been ideal for me. Now I can't do much other than stretching and yoga-type moves and I feel very sluggish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mom-ninja. Posted March 15, 2013 Share Posted March 15, 2013 JM 6 week 6 pack level 2. Wow. It's been a long time since I've done this one. Love it! I had to work hard and I needed that. Negin, I hope the duct tape works. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Negin Posted March 16, 2013 Author Share Posted March 16, 2013 Negin, I hope the duct tape works. Thank you so much. So do I. I've had more than my share of plantar warts in the past several years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LG Gone Wild Posted March 17, 2013 Share Posted March 17, 2013 Did a Kajukembo class and a little light boxing. I actually put in a run today, somewhere between 4-5 miles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gardenmom5 Posted March 17, 2013 Share Posted March 17, 2013 I did my fourth yoga saturday. so, that's four weeks of four times a week. I'm going to go reward myself with a massage. :001_wub: I do need to step up the pace, as my goal is to do it 6x per week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
