JustEm Posted April 28, 2016 Share Posted April 28, 2016 I didn't have time to get a proper workout on so while I cleaned the bathroom, kitchen, and dinning room I did squats and a lot of scrubbing. I won't record that as exercise in my LoseIt app because I don't really have a good idea of what to call it. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pink and Green Mom Posted April 28, 2016 Share Posted April 28, 2016 I did a 70 minute workout today - 30 minutes of kickboxing and 40 minutes of cardio sculpting legs. Tomorrow is steady state cardio. Tomorrow will make 4 complete weeks of working out 6 days per week. I notice exercises getting easier, I can do more push ups and sit ups, and less muscle soreness after working out. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greta Posted April 28, 2016 Share Posted April 28, 2016 (edited) If you do decide to use the original, be sure to check out the New Rules for Living fb page. (The one that does not mention supercharged, abs, etc. in the title.) They have some stuff pinned that includes what got discarded from the first New Rules book for Women. If you can check out Strong, most people seem to think it's a big improvement. Oh, thanks for mentioning this. I just have the 2007 one called "The New Rules of Lifting for Women". It looks like Strong is only $13 at B&N so I'll just go ahead and buy it if it's an improvement. ETA: I misspoke on the price. That $13 is a pre-order for the paperback which won't be available until November. I'm too impatient for that. The hardcover is still less than $20, and that's a lot less than the $100 program I was considering, so not a problem.

lexi Posted April 28, 2016 Share Posted April 28, 2016 I just started working out again after having a baby in March. I've been doing Hip Hop Abs and going on long walks with the baby in a stroller. I'm trying to get into the habit of exercising again. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sarah CB Posted April 28, 2016 Share Posted April 28, 2016 I just got back from my morning walk. Over 6000 steps. Now I can have breakfast. Missed my TRX class yesterday - it was cancelled because of snow. I got on my treadmill instead and power walked with a little bit of jogging. Busy day today, but I'm hoping to get out for another walk at some point. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustEm Posted April 28, 2016 Share Posted April 28, 2016 So weird! I looked up housecleaning in the app last night and it wasn't there. But today it is! It was giving me problems last night with freezing so maybe it was a glitch. Thanks for pointing that out 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustEm Posted April 28, 2016 Share Posted April 28, 2016 Got my cardio kick boxing class in early this morning! I gotta make sure I'm stretching more. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pink and Green Mom Posted April 28, 2016 Share Posted April 28, 2016 Just finished a 55 minute steady state cardio workout. I feel a major rush of endorphins. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luckymama Posted April 29, 2016 Share Posted April 29, 2016 I have been so busy with end-of-the-school-year things (AP exams begin Monday :eek:) and the college search process that I haven't had any time to post in eons. Catching up: --I follow the Girls Gone Strong facebook page and read all their linked articles. I totally agree with their philosophy of heavy weights, HIIT for 10-20 minutes, some moderate sustained cardio, and active rest days (walks with the family). Build and maintain muscle! --NROL's Strong book is excellent. I borrowed it from the library to get some more ideas for my weight days. --This month my exercise has been twice-weekly weight sessions with my trainer, once a week weights with dh, various intervals (elliptical, body weight squats, some tabata, and so on) for 20 min combined with 20 min of core work (I have to squish workouts in while dd is on campus for her Arabic class) 3x a week, and the weekly bodyweight bootcamp class at the gym. Oh, and shoveling 10 cubic yards of mulch! I am now up to 3 full pushups at a time, six months after "graduating" from physical therapy for a frozen shoulder. This time last year I could not even lift my arm above horizontal. :party: I look forward to this summer lifting heavy 4x a week, increasing my variety of HIIT activities, and hiking with dh each weekend :) 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustEm Posted April 29, 2016 Share Posted April 29, 2016 My sil needed a workout buddy so I did a Walk Away the Pounds DVD with her. I think I've earned that beer I've been wanting so much today. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laurie4b Posted April 30, 2016 Share Posted April 30, 2016 Hour long hike with ds 19 today. Mountain laurel is blooming and the river was full from the rain yesterday. :) 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laurie4b Posted April 30, 2016 Share Posted April 30, 2016 I had to google to find this thread again. Weird. Anyway, today is a cloudy, gloomy, misty day. Hard to get motivated. I need to do a full strength-training workout. I'm posting hoping that will help nudge me forward... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KathyBC Posted May 2, 2016 Share Posted May 2, 2016 Anyone else ready for a May thread? I actually exercised today, so I'll start one. :D Link to May thread 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BooksandBoys Posted May 3, 2016 Share Posted May 3, 2016 Slache, thanks for the review of those programs. I'm intrigued by 22MCH. I'm not a beginner, so maybe I'll take the plunge and go with Insanity 30. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
