Negin Posted December 8, 2013 Author Share Posted December 8, 2013 About to do The Bar Method: Dancer's Body Advanced - a 90-minute workout that I've been planning to do for a few days now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trulycrabby Posted December 8, 2013 Share Posted December 8, 2013 Hello! I just finished Tonique Born To Move; 40-minute workout. There's also a one-hour workout on the dvd, but I"m too scared to try it. Fantastic workout; but ouch!!! :p I've gained about five pounds since I started homeschooling DS9 because I just cannot make it to Bikram yoga class every day like last year when he was in PS. However, I am determined not to start the new year with these pounds on, so I have pulled out my workout video collection and plan to do something almost every day that I cannot take class. :o This afternoon I"ll do about 200 kettlebell swings and a Leslie Sansone mile.

Kim in Appalachia Posted December 8, 2013 Share Posted December 8, 2013 I ran 6 miles this morning on my treadmill. I started watching a new tv series, Derek. Funny show. I'm going out of town for 3 days this week, so I'm hoping to be able to get in a good workout Mon and Tues. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SJ. Posted December 8, 2013 Share Posted December 8, 2013 Today I did a full body TRX workout with a friend followed by BodyStep class. My legs are tired! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wintermom Posted December 8, 2013 Share Posted December 8, 2013 Pretty lazy day today. Ran around the block with the dog. Last night dh and I played singles tennis for 1.5 hours - that was so much fun! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kim in Appalachia Posted December 9, 2013 Share Posted December 9, 2013 This morning was kettlebell. My folks are visting so I couldn't do my 10 run warm up, so the workout felt easier. It was a lighter workout today. Day 2 of this week for kettlebell looks much harder. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rieshy Posted December 9, 2013 Share Posted December 9, 2013 Overslept and missed my workout. Now I'm cranky/tired and want to eat peppermint bark that my oldest dd left in the fridge before she went back to the dorm. At least I have martial arts tonight to get energized with.

Negin Posted December 11, 2013 Author Share Posted December 11, 2013 10-Minute Solution: Power Yoga and several other yoga moves. DS9 and I walked 3.5 miles yesterday around a beautiful lake. How lovely. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joyofsixreboot Posted December 11, 2013 Share Posted December 11, 2013 I thought I posted this week. I'm losing it. OK, catc up Sun-yoga Mon-3mile Tue-4 mile, really pushed that Wed-yoga on the schedule and maybe a walk if it warms up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mommyfaithe Posted December 11, 2013 Share Posted December 11, 2013 What is "Barefoot class"? It is similar to Willpower and Grace ( YouTube has videos) only our instructor uses some pretty upbeat music and the flow is much quicker. Lots of squats, lunges, push ups, burpees etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SJ. Posted December 12, 2013 Share Posted December 12, 2013 Combat again today. I planned to lift weights prior to class but I ran into a friend and chose to have a cup of tea instead. I was in such a good flow of lifting three times a week and then I decided it would be a good idea to take a two week break. Since then it has been so hard to get back into doing regularly and unfortunately my strength has decreased faster than I realized it would.

Joyofsixreboot Posted December 12, 2013 Share Posted December 12, 2013 Just back from an "invigorating" run. It's always so hard to get going when it's cold (-2 F) but once I'm out there it's actually very nice. Crisp weather and Christmas lights to run by (until I hit the country). Have a great day ladies.

rieshy Posted December 12, 2013 Share Posted December 12, 2013 Upper body weights and then swam laps yesterday. Elliptical machine and lower body weights today- I'm back to inverted squats on a low weights. Martial arts tonight. I really hope we spar. Tomorrow I plan to do a double elliptical machine run if my knee will allow it. Anyone ever feel great and powerful and fit during a workout and then surprised when you see the older woman in the dressing room mirror only to realize it's in fact Your reflection?

What is an inverted squat? *Picturing someone hanging upside down and squatting* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rieshy Posted December 12, 2013 Share Posted December 12, 2013 What is an inverted squat? *Picturing someone hanging upside down and squatting* :laugh: That would be Spider-man's workout. You sit back at an angle with your knees drawn up towards your chest and push a platform with weights until your legs are straight instead of standing and squatting while holding weights. I prefer standing squats but I'm not supposed to do those until I've built my injured knee muscles back up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LucyStoner Posted December 14, 2013 Share Posted December 14, 2013 4 days of AM outdoor boot camp (1 hr each time). Stretching everyday for 15-30 minutes. Monday 2 hours of skate time. New weekly roller skate date with my girlfriends. Fun. Tuesday bike ride with kids. Wednesday nothing extra Thursday yoga video Friday extra weight training (mainly push-ups and squat thrusts) at home. My life has some added family health stress just now but I am never well served by skipping exercise even if it is hard to find the time. This weekend, I am going to do some yoga tomorrow and on Sunday, trail running. Oh, I've been cheaping out and resisting buying new running/exercise pants despite having shrunk out of mine. This meant that today when walking home with my arms full, I just about dropped trou in public. Earlier this week my outer pair did totally slip down when running at boot camp but I was wearing two layers on account of the cold weather that day, thank goodness. Ok, must must must obtain smaller workout pants this weekend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Negin Posted December 14, 2013 Author Share Posted December 14, 2013 More of a rest day - stretching and yoga moves. My life has some added family health stress just now but I am never well served by skipping exercise even if it is hard to find the time. This weekend, I am going to do some yoga tomorrow and on Sunday, trail running. Sorry about the stress :grouphug: . I can fully relate these days :glare:. Good for you for keeping up the exercise.
