Negin Posted January 26, 2014 Author Share Posted January 26, 2014 Rest day - but lots of housework to do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mom-ninja. Posted January 26, 2014 Share Posted January 26, 2014 Usually a rest day but I didn't exercise Friday or Saturday. Today I did Butt & Thighs, Upper/Lower Back, and Lower Back stretches on Fitness Blender. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joyofsixreboot Posted January 26, 2014 Share Posted January 26, 2014 I had a case of intense stomach upset last night into this morning. If I manage to stretch later it will be good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kim in Appalachia Posted January 27, 2014 Share Posted January 27, 2014 Today was my long run day. I felt bad when I got up, so I waited till after lunch and a nap to run. I ran 7 miles, and I got to run outside. It was 50 out so it felt great. I also did 5 x5 pull ups with 1 minute planks inbetween, followed by 30 minutes of yoga.

Mommyfaithe Posted January 27, 2014 Share Posted January 27, 2014 Ugh! Today was supposed to be a run day. This morning was 5* outside, so headed to the gym...was supposed to meet my trainer and brf. ....found out later they both overslept....got to the gym and not a single treadmill was available. I ended up doing a barbell lift class, then did a yoga class which was packed wall to wall I left still wanting my run....but had to grocery shop....

LucyStoner Posted January 27, 2014 Share Posted January 27, 2014 Ok, I have been AWOL from the thread but not from exercise. Today was 3 mile hilly trail run/walk plus bicycle crunches, crunch twists, lunges and pushups into side planks. 3 sets of the 5 exercises in rotation. I am planning to do some yoga stretching before bed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LucyStoner Posted January 27, 2014 Share Posted January 27, 2014 Rest day - but lots of housework to do. Yeah, I also ended up doing a bunch of housework today too. I was like, really? My Sunday is housecleaning day? How'd that happen?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kim in Appalachia Posted January 27, 2014 Share Posted January 27, 2014 Do you do full on or assisted pull ups?? I really want to start doing these, but don't know how to start. Any tips?? Assisted! I use the green band to help me. Even with that 5 is my max. I highly recommend the bands. They make it possible for you to do the pull up the correct way, engaging the muscles you want to strengthen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

extendedforecast Posted January 27, 2014 Share Posted January 27, 2014 Yesterday I went out and played/practiced softball with my kids. I used some muscles that I haven't worked in a long time, lol. I'm sore! I guess I need to vary my routine a little more. Today I'm probably going to do some yoga and a light run or long walk. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kim in Appalachia Posted January 27, 2014 Share Posted January 27, 2014 Rest day. Just some light yoga to stretch out, and it did feel good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ottakee Posted January 27, 2014 Share Posted January 27, 2014 I have been cross country skiing 30-75 minutes a day. Then 2 days a week is exerball class. Today does trudging to the barn in 30 below wind chills in knee to thigh high deep snow several times a day count? Hauling water in this weather? Lifting up the feet of 1200 pound animals to knock the ice balls out of them? Shoveling the non stop snow? Seriously I might do a DVD etc. otherwise this will be an "off" day for me other than chores, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shukriyya Posted January 27, 2014 Share Posted January 27, 2014 Hiking for me today, no hills though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joyofsixreboot Posted January 27, 2014 Share Posted January 27, 2014 It's like -30 with the wind that they say hasn't even started yet so it's treadmill today along with shoveling and maybe some yoga. On the bright side I seem to be recovered from the tummy trouble. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rieshy Posted January 27, 2014 Share Posted January 27, 2014 Gym this morning- light elliptical workout and pull-ups and core. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gardenmom5 Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 did yoga - feels good. I took dudeling swimming as it seems to help him pay attention better when he has a swim lesson, even on a different day. I swam six laps. I am not much of a swimmer, so I feel good. I also hate this pool as it's cold - I get goose bumps. but it's also pretty empty during the day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trulycrabby Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 3.5 mile walk around the lake yesterday and today. Yestereday was nice, but today was cold with a sustained 30 mph wind. Brrrrrrr! :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
msjones Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 I'm glad to see this thread because I'm feeling uncharacteristically lazy and unmotivated today. It's soooooo gloomy and damp and gray and blah here in the PNW. But now that I've checked in here I WILL go and do my 60 minutes on my bike and go on a walk with my husband. I will do 30 bike, walk with husband, 30 more bike. Then I'll check back in here. Now I have a little motivation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mommyfaithe Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 2 hours of cycle and body weight/ weight training. Well, that felt good! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rieshy Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 Did it! There's nothing like exercising, is there? I never, ever regret it. Yep. Got to martial arts last night and learned some new techniques. I could feel my brain cells straining. I forced my 17 yo daughter to go too even though she had a million and one reasons her allergies and asthma were making her feel not up to it. She thanked me afterwards.

gardenmom5 Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 I did yoga - surprised at how sore I am from swimming yesterday. of course, I've never really done those type of laps before. I'm also thinking of doing one of my other yoga dvd's or a barre 3 dvd to really get moving. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kim in Appalachia Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 Today was a kettlebell day. It was a tough workout. I did TGU's, heavy squats (for me, just 35lbs), and presses. I ended with 3 rounds of swings, push-ups, and pull-ups. I was short on time, so no 1 mile run warm up. I'm heading to my room for some yoga in just a bit.

rieshy Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 Went to the gym this morning and ran through all my katas until I was panting, then just 15 minutes on the elliptical and then some stretching. Poof my time was gone. How did that happen? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
extendedforecast Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 Yesterday I cleaned and organized my office (not complete yet). Today I did butt and abs tabata workout on YouTube. If the weather is good, I'll take a short walk before I pick up dd at the bus stop. Otherwise it's more cleaning and organizing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
extendedforecast Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 Assisted! I use the green band to help me. Even with that 5 is my max. I highly recommend the bands. They make it possible for you to do the pull up the correct way, engaging the muscles you want to strengthen. I can almost picture it. Do you know of a tutorial with pictures or video that describes how you use the bands? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LucyStoner Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 Catching up on postingMonday was an unscheduled rest day. Nothing but stretching and a walk. My back was really hinky that day and I needed the day off. Normally I skate on Mondays but it wasn't going to happen.Tuesday back to bootcamp, 30 minutes stretching and 45 minutes cardio on the stair stepper.Today bootcamp in the rain (thankfully just a drizzle for most of the time) and I am planning to take the boys on a short hike later on today. Plus yoga stretching this evening. ETA: Oh, since it was too wet to lay down on a mat at bootcamp, I did some abwork at home. Muffin squashers, bicycles, side to side with feet up. 50-70 each exercise per side. The standing abwork at bootcamp was good but not as intense as usual. Since I skipped on Monday, I needed to catch up anyways. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mom-ninja. Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 Today is 100 reps of various moves. I did my 2 rounds (50 reps) this morning and will complete 2 rounds this afternoon to give my metabolism that afternoon boost. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joyofsixreboot Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 I walked a couple miles on the treadmill. Push ups, PT, etc. Ran 3 very chilly but glorious miles. I'm back baby. :laugh: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kim in Appalachia Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 I waited till this afternoon to run, and when I saw how sunny it was, and that it wasn't windy, I decided to run outside. That may have been a mistake. It was so cold. My face felt like it was frozen. I had on sunglasses, which helped, but I couldn't believe how cold I felt. I ran 4 miles. I had hoped to run 5, but between the cold and a small stomach problem I decided 4 miles would be good enough. I did run those miles fast, an 11 min/mile pace, and that was with walking every 6 mins (my normal pace with walking would be a bit over a 12 min pace). I did my yoga practice before lunch. I did do some handstand practice after a very hot shower, but no plank work today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joyofsixreboot Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 Kim, I had a neck gaiter pulled up over my face and head. Just my beady little eyes gazing out. I could have used sunglasses though. My pace wasn't great because of snow/ice but the outdoors did me good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

msjones Posted January 30, 2014 Share Posted January 30, 2014 The dumping rain stopped just in time for me to walk a few miles, then I came home and biked for 60 min while I watched an episode of Wives and Daughters. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could have used sunglasses though. My pace wasn't great because of snow/ice but the outdoors did me good. I own a great gaiter, one that velcros on and has vents for breathing, but I didn't bring it! That was dumb of me. I figured since it wasn't windy I'd be fine, but I didn't realize how bad just the air would be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
extendedforecast Posted January 30, 2014 Share Posted January 30, 2014 I'm slightly sore this morning. My abs and upper arms are the worst, my calves are less sore, and (woohoo!) my quads feel normal. I'm going to do something today though I'm not sure what. Any suggestions?

Kim in Appalachia Posted January 30, 2014 Share Posted January 30, 2014 5 miles today, inside. Yoga later. Cindy, I googled assisted pull ups on YouTube and found some videos. And if you're looking for something to do today, I always suggest yoga for days that have no other goal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
