Kim in Appalachia Posted January 20, 2014 Share Posted January 20, 2014 Today is supposed to be a rest day. I did do yoga this morning, plus my plank work. The plank challenge is good (the challenge was posted by Athleta), but there are not enough rest days, and I'm starting to lose the progress I made. I want to keep it up. I never thought I would make it to a 5 min plank by the end of the month, but I will work on doing plank for 5 minutes with small breaks after a minute or 90 secs. After the month is over, I will slow down on the planks, maybe working on them every other day. I have become more obsessed with having a stronger core. :D I have never really focused on that before. I've done core work, with kettlebell and yoga, but never focused on it. I think I need to do that. My core has always been very weak, and with the small gains I've made I can tell it's improving my running and my posture. I think some focused core work will be worth it.

I did a five minute plank once. It was at the end of a bootcamp class. The only way I got through it was the competition with the other people in the class. I had an attitude of If those people can do it then it's possible and I can do it too! It worked. Not sure if I could do it by myself at home. Good luck with your challenge it is possible and you can do it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joyofsixreboot Posted January 20, 2014 Share Posted January 20, 2014 I'm not supposed to run this week. (Insert weeping). I did SI joint exercises per PT and walked 3 miles on the treadmill. It is poopy. There I said it. I am also not supposed to do any hip opening yoga for awhile. What's that leave, planking? ;-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
melmichigan Posted January 20, 2014 Share Posted January 20, 2014 Can I join? I could use some accountability. My focus this year is more on cardio and building my core muscle, of course weight loss is great too! Today is my rest day. Right now I'm doing an assortment of Ellen Barrett's DVD's, s so I'm glad today is an off day, I'm sore. DH just ordered a NordicTrack treadmill during the Marin Luther King Jr. sale so I'll be excited to get that. I've been limited to the two days a week I'm at the YMCA because it's to much of a drive to do each day. Now I won't have an excuse! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think some focused core work will be worth it. Kim, my core has always been weak also. I'm trying to constantly remind myself to pull them in throughout the day. Can I join? I could use some accountability. Right now I'm doing an assortment of Ellen Barrett's DVD's, s so I'm glad today is an off day, I'm sore. Of course, you can join :grouphug:.

trulycrabby Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 Loved the treadmill video! :) Yesterday was a lovely, sunshine-filled three-mile walk around the lake with DS10 and my mom. Life doesn't get much better than that. :) Bikram yoga today. Will try the five-minute plank today with DS10. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rieshy Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 Had sick kids this weekend- thought we were over it, went for a 2 mile run yesterday only to get home and find out yet another child was sick. Went to the gym this morning and got a call that 2 more were down for the count. Left gym and went to Publix and rented a steam cleaner, and bought enough cleanser to drown my house. Arggggghhhhh!

MomOfOneFunOne Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 AMDG Yay, Me! I updated my original post: DONE! I did change up my stretching. Previously I have been doing a routine that my daughter does for her lordosis/kyphosis that is for stretching and strengthing her back and core and promoting good posture. I like doing it, too, b/c I could certainly use some work in that area. This week, I decided to start alternating. MWF: the back and core stretches and exercises and TRS: a full-body stretch plus the core stuff from MWF. I hadn't done those full-body stretches in a long, long, time and they felt g.r.e.a.t! So, that's a switch up and I like it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And anytime that I can't start the thread, any one of you, please feel free to do so. BTW, what does ADMG stand for? :) AMDG AMDG is an acronym for Ad Majorem Dei Gloriam which means "for the greater glory of God." Besides being (a slight abbreviation of) the motto of the Jesuits, many Catholics will type or write it first in a letter or document. People do it for all kinds of reasons including reminding themselves to only say those things which are for the greater glory -- and not mean, snarky, sarcastic, et c. Of course, I'm not saying that *I* need reminding . . .! ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mom-ninja. Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 I just bought this dvd and did the total body portion which is 15 min. Ack. She does 5 sets of 8 of each move and by the 5th set I'm screaming mercy. Then I did my good old stand by JM kickbox cardio on youtube.

That's beautiful. :) I just bought this dvd and did the total body portion which is 15 min. Ack. She does 5 sets of 8 of each move and by the 5th set I'm screaming mercy. When I first started barre, I was tempted to buy a DVD by her, probably the same one. I haven't ruled it out. I just have far too many DVDs.

Kim in Appalachia Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 Kettlebell yesterday, plus yoga. Today I'm going to run. I'm unsure if I'll do 4 or 5 miles. Yesterday I did make the 2.5 minute plank. Today I'm supposed to make 3 minutes. I need to find some funny videos on YouTube to distract me. I did that yesterday and it helped.

rieshy Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 Gym this morning. I had a great workout- 55 minutes sweating on the elliptical and then core work and stretching. I feel gloriously exhausted. I love this feeling; it's one of the main reasons I workout. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
msjones Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 I've been doing my hour of biking each day --feels great. Also trying to add 3 mile walks with friends/husband when time allows. Also, I'm committed to stretching after each workout and am really noticing more flexibility. Very motivating! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joyofsixreboot Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 Yesterday-si exercises, push ups, weights, planks and walked 4 miles Today-the same except walked 5 miles and did some very light yoga The good newsies my hip feels better already but I'll continue to be a good girl and follow PT's instructions. The urge to say "oh, a little won't hurt" is strong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mom-ninja. Posted January 23, 2014 Share Posted January 23, 2014 Fitness Blender HIIT followed by upper body workout. The HIIT was tough. Hats off to Kelli (of Fitness Blender) who can do a full minute of double butt kickers. I cannot. That's crazy right there. I can barely squeak out 30 seconds. The upper body was a good workout too. I only used 3 lb weights but when you do 5x5x5 of each move those 3 lbs feel like 20! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kim in Appalachia Posted January 23, 2014 Share Posted January 23, 2014 3 minute plank this morning, then 4.5 mile interval run. I did 4 x 6 400's. It felt hard, but good. Yoga later. I'm still doing a 40 day kriya challenge, doing the same 30 minute kriya everyday. It's challenging, not because the 30 minutes are phyiscally demanding, but doing the same routine everyday is challenging my ability to stay in the moment. I find my mind wandering more, I can't seem to stay focused, but I'm going to keep going. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kim in Appalachia Posted January 24, 2014 Share Posted January 24, 2014 Kettlebell today. I think my body is tired, and hungry :laugh: . I had a hard time getting through my workout. I took a little longer breaks, and didn't add on the extra push up or pull ups like I've been doing. And plank was impossible today. I end up doing a series of shorter planks with 15 sec breaks inbetween. Tomorrow is yoga day, and I need it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rieshy Posted January 25, 2014 Share Posted January 25, 2014 Sickness round two (strep throat) at my house- so no workout yesterday, just hours in the peds. office. Today? I'm trying out some of the free online videos this morning that all you wonderful women have mentioned on this thread. It's better that burying myself in chocolate candy. Well- it's almost better.
