Jennifer in MI Posted February 4, 2009 Share Posted February 4, 2009 Oh my goodness!!! I did a Jillian Michels workout this morning. It kicked my BUTT!!!!! Holy cow that's a great workout. And, I only did level 1!! It's really focussing on muscles other than what I work when I run. She really mixes things up. So, you're doing squats with bicep curls or lunges with an arm lift (with weights!). That really gives you a good aerobic workout too. Anyway, I know I said I'd run today. But, I woke up and it was negative 17 wind chill with a warning for the temps. I decided to wait. But wind chills are supposed to be BELOW zero for the next two days. I needed an alternative and read here about Jillian Michels. Luckily, she has a couple workouts on On Demand, so it was free!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
momofkhm Posted February 4, 2009 Share Posted February 4, 2009 Great job Jenn! I'm glad you were able to shake things up a bit! Swim day for me. We were expecting snow overnight so I checked the pool's website last night. Schools were already opening 2 hours late so the pool opened at 8 (instead of 5:30!). Then there was no snow here!! But that's ok. DH went to work. I waited until 8:30 and went to the pool. Completely different demographic! Instead of feeling like I was within a few years of the oldest one there, I felt like I was within a few years of the youngest one there! But an almost empty pool nonetheless. Time Taken: 00:38:22 Total Distance: 1.00 mi. Laps: 36 Burned: 269 (kcal) Pace: 38:22 (avg) Speed: 1.56 (mi/hr) (avg) Good swim for me. Then in the locker room, after I rinsed my suit in the shower, I noticed that I can maybe see my hand through the rear end portion. The front is completely lined, but not so the rear. I may need to order a new one. At least now I know what size, unlike the last time! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anne Posted February 4, 2009 Share Posted February 4, 2009 It's supposed to be above 10 degrees today, so I have great hopes of skiing (cross-country, not downhill)! Yesterday was a yoga class. I had *intended* to get on the elliptical machine also, but........... Anne Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tribemama Posted February 4, 2009 Share Posted February 4, 2009 Alright - You ladies are motivating me!!! Normally I would run in the morning but I was up tandem feeding all night last night - and when the alarm went off at 6:00 I turned it off! I will do a treadmill workout tonight! 3/12to10minute miles is my goal. (It always depends on if I get to rest in the afternoon - how fast I go later.) Thanks for the Thread - I need the motivation... Especially if I am running a half in May!

Kim in Appalachia Posted February 4, 2009 Share Posted February 4, 2009 I had a hard time running today, so I only ran a mile and then walked a mile. I also did Pilates, and last night I had fun on our wii fit. I find that doing the wii fit at night is a good way to wind down. I like the strength training, some of the yoga and I love the rhythm boxing and hoola hoops.:001_smile: I'm hoping to have a good run tomorrow.

Deece in MN Posted February 4, 2009 Share Posted February 4, 2009 Great job, everyone! I walked for 1 mile at a 15min/mile pace to warm up and then did a 50 min. kettlebell workout. I am hoping to not be quite so sore this time. I had forgotten how this workout can kick my behind even though it seems easy. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
