Negin Posted December 29, 2013 Author Share Posted December 29, 2013 2 Miles of Leslie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kim in Appalachia Posted December 29, 2013 Share Posted December 29, 2013 I didn't get much exericise in last week, becuase I've been sick. I'm still not back to normal, but I believe by tomorrow I'll be able to restart. We're leaving town, but I plan on at least getting kettlebell in, and maybe 1 or 2 short runs. I got a new running watch for Christmas and I haven't been able to use it because of this cold. And I really need to cut out the sweets. All of the cookies in the house have been bad.

shukriyya Posted December 29, 2013 Share Posted December 29, 2013 Hoping to get in a hill hike today. I managed to get one in most days this past week. :D And glad to hear that I'm in good company re the solo mama time. It's as much of a draw as the exercise itself.

msjones Posted December 29, 2013 Share Posted December 29, 2013 All of the cookies in the house have been bad. You are not alone! :) No more cookies or treats for me until New Year's Eve. (Which is kind of a shame because those are some yummy cookies. I may have to just throw them out, or quickly feed them to my very skinny teenage boys...) Off to do my bike workout.

Tell me what your 'hill hikes' are. They sound appealing somehow. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shukriyya Posted December 29, 2013 Share Posted December 29, 2013 They are appealing :D Basically I've found an area that involves a lot of uphill hiking, followed by some flat and then downhill hiking so I'm able to work different muscles based on the surface I'm on. I've got a couple of options for hills, steep and shorter or less steep but longer. Plus it's a loop so I can do it as many or as few times as I like.

I live in a very hilly area, and I'm trying to vary my workouts. I might add some hill hikes of my own. Just finished 30 minutes on the bike followed by a lovely 40 minute walk near the lake.

Mom-ninja. Posted December 29, 2013 Share Posted December 29, 2013 Fitness Blender day 9. I have to modify some moves due to my injured tailbone. Can't wait until it's healed and no longer hurting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luckymama Posted December 29, 2013 Share Posted December 29, 2013 I've been really bad about posting on this thread...but not bad at exercising! I've analyzed my workouts for the past several months to discover I exercise 4.5 days per week (average). Not bad considering I started the year at 2 days per week (average)! My goal this year is to up my average by one day per week, to 5.5 days. I do a combination of walking (outside/treadmill), elliptical, and Pilates workouts from Blogilates.com. My formerly-frozen shoulder has recovered enough that I can now move to 5lb hand weights without any pain at all. Today's exercise---45 min on treadmill while watching "What Not to Wear" :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Negin Posted December 30, 2013 Author Share Posted December 30, 2013 Rebounding. I didn't get much exericise in last week, becuase I've been sick. I'm still not back to normal, but I believe by tomorrow I'll be able to restart. We're leaving town, but I plan on at least getting kettlebell in, and maybe 1 or 2 short runs. I got a new running watch for Christmas and I haven't been able to use it because of this cold. And I really need to cut out the sweets. All of the cookies in the house have been bad. Kim, I hope you feel better. I can fully relate to the cookies problem. I can't wait until all the chocolates are done. Hope your trip out of town is a nice one. And glad to hear that I'm in good company re the solo mama time. It's as much of a draw as the exercise itself. Yes, Fully agree. :) No more cookies or treats for me until New Year's Eve. (Which is kind of a shame because those are some yummy cookies. I may have to just throw them out, or quickly feed them to my very skinny teenage boys...) I need to develop more discipline like you. When it comes to my eating as of late, I'm quite disgusted with myself. Fitness Blender day 9. I have to modify some moves due to my injured tailbone. Can't wait until it's healed and no longer hurting. Hope your injury heals quickly and that you feel better very soon. Eating has been my workout today. Yes. A girl after my own heart. :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joyofsixreboot Posted December 30, 2013 Share Posted December 30, 2013 Sun~4 miles Mon~3 miles Does refereeing my youngest two count? Because it's sure raising my heart rate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rieshy Posted December 30, 2013 Share Posted December 30, 2013 Dragged my body to the gym this morning only because my dd's were already up. All the wheat and treats I've been eating has caused my arthritis to flare up in my right ankle. A few miles later on the elliptical machine and then free weights and it's amazing how the pain has receded. The phrase "use it or lose it" though cliché is so true with arthritis. Feeling good is such a blessing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mom-ninja. Posted December 30, 2013 Share Posted December 30, 2013 I did JM Killer Buns and Thighs level 1. Again modifying moves to adjust for my injury. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luckymama Posted December 30, 2013 Share Posted December 30, 2013 Today: 45 min of various Pilates abs videos Ouch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
msjones Posted December 30, 2013 Share Posted December 30, 2013 Blech. Congested and coughing today, so will probably just do a long walk or an easier version of my bike workout. It is so gloomy and wet and dark outside that it's hard to motivate myself. But, I'm posting this here so I'll have some accountability.

Kim in Appalachia Posted December 30, 2013 Share Posted December 30, 2013 I was able to get in a short run this morning, but it's so cold here! (My folks live in PA) today was the "warm" day, but the wind was brutal. I ran 3 miles, then did some kettlebell. I did 3x2/ side TGU's, then 3x 10 swings, 5 squats, 10 push-ups, followed by ab work. It felt good to work out after taking almost a week off. This cold is getting into my chest, but overall I'm feeling better. Now if i could avoid the cherry almond cookies my mom made.....:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mommyfaithe Posted January 1, 2014 Share Posted January 1, 2014 My schedule is all screwed up with the holidays, my hubby setting up new business and depression seeping in. Sunday: I slept... a lot. Monday did spin and sculpt classes Tuesday was a 7-5:30 work day. My kids were miserable, so I stayed home and watched a movie with them....I was asleep by 9:30. Happy New Year!! Today ( new years day.). I am sitting, drinking coffee, waiting for a snow storm to kick up, and deciding if I have the energy fr yoga or to just sleeeeeppp. Tomorrow....signed up already for spin & sculpt....if I pay, I go....

trulycrabby Posted January 2, 2014 Share Posted January 2, 2014 Happy New Year! :) Starting off the new year with a meniscus tear, my knee is currently swollen and unstable and won't reliably support my weight. RICE, brace, and orthopedist is this week´s plan. I'm mourning the loss of the carbohydrate-rich diet that went along with all the exercise and activity. Ahhh, sugar, it was nice knowing ya... I've decided to pull out Cathe's X-Train and get started with the uoper body workouts. Hopefully, once the swelling goes down, I can walk, bike, and return to yoga.

Joyofsixreboot Posted January 2, 2014 Share Posted January 2, 2014 Took a 5 mile run but it felt like 10 in the blowing snow and 4 inches on the ground that was like sand. It was slow but I was glad to be moving forward. This county needs some snow plows. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trulycrabby Posted January 2, 2014 Share Posted January 2, 2014 Thanks for the kind words and well wishes.! :) I was climbing the walls this morning, so I did Brian Kest Power Yoga. With the brace, the practice was very manageable. I am greatly encouraged. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
msjones Posted January 2, 2014 Share Posted January 2, 2014 Busy day yesterday with a big group over for dinner, so had to cram in 60 min on the bike. Today, hope to do a long walk with my husband and the bike as well. No rain so far, so it should be nice! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Today marks the 9th week since my meniscus injury- it's doing great, so glad to have all 4 limbs useful again. Treat it right and be patient and your knee will thank you. Missed my morning workout 2 days in a row with company. Made up for it by eating lots of fancy "company" sorts of rich foods. :huh: Tonight I have MMA, I will finally be able to kick the bags again- Wahoo.

redsquirrel Posted January 3, 2014 Share Posted January 3, 2014 yesterday and today I did a 5 mile leslie sansonne video. I don't like cardio videos all that much, but we are having a snow storm. I keep some Leslie Sansone and a couple other cardio DVDs for when it is too cold or snowy to do much else. I do have a Nordic Track but the upstairs is SO cold that I don't want to go up there.
