Re: What exercise(s) did You do today?

I went for a 30 minute walk around the neighborhood. Later on, I plan on going swimming with my son. This post really makes you get up and move!

Re: What exercise(s) did You do today?

Movement can be fun, it does not have to be a chore. Nice posts Melissa and Jill.

When i first started this thread in April, i had been exercising about a month. I did DVD's areobics, weight training every other day,treadmill or walking outside. I hated the treadmill, i barely could do 5 minutes. But that was all i would do,it was a start and i never quit. Each day i got stronger and the scale got lighter.

This is like my accountabilty "dairy", if i write it i do it. It also keeps track of the things i do for AP's( activity points)If it motivates others, then its a bonus.

There are days i am not gun-ho about execising, but i figure its only between 30 mins to an hour, i do that much sitting online or watching tv.

This is the first time i took my measurements before i started. I rejoined WW on March 13 and started exercising March 18.

30.2 poiunds lost
14.1/2 inches lost


When i see the results, it makes it easy to sweat and burn off those calories.


**Move-move-move**

Re: What exercise(s) did You do today?

Did some cardio before heading off to work, great feeling knowing i did it.

Re: What exercise(s) did You do today?

Time for toning and weights,before working my 8 hour shift on this wonderful sunny,perfect blue sky day. So tempted to call off( but i wont)

But what i am going to do is move it,move it.move it.

Re: What exercise(s) did You do today?

I was up early this morning and done a few stretches and then when my daughter woke up, i got her dressed and we went for a walk. I ended up walking about 2.5 miles and was really proud of myself. So I guess i could say i exercised today.

Re: What exercise(s) did You do today?

Melissa in NC...what kind of snakes do you have that are out now?? I can honestly say that I would NEVER EVER walk outside if "the snakes were bad !!!" Have you ever tried Leslie Sansone's walking videos? They are so nice to do whenever you want to, rain or shine , night or day and NO SNAKES ever!!

You are a sport to even think about walking where there could be lots of snakes.

Re: What exercise(s) did You do today?

Beautiful day,sunny skies,low humidity............day off work.

Grass needs mowed, later i will get a walk in(3-4 mile),plus some cardio using my Prevention DVD.

Went to a resale shop the other day for some clothes..........OH I can fit in an extra large shirt. and went down a size in pants.


When i accept my reward, i will give thanks to Denise Austin,Leslie Sansorn and Chris Freytag.

Re: What exercise(s) did You do today?

I walked in the park today 45 mins with my dog.

Re: What exercise(s) did You do today?

Karen in OH....I live in southeastern NC and it gets very hot here, the most common kinds of snakes around here (that i have seen) are the eastern diamondback (rattlesnake), water moccasins, cooperheads and a few non-venomous snakes. I keep a distance from any, but i have walked up on a few in my lifetime. I just mainly keep a good watch out on the side of the roads and on the road and try to avoid walking on the sides if possible. Like i said, i live in the COUNTRY!!! we don't have sidewalks where i stay. , but i love it here. and to answer your other questions, no i haven't tried any of those. I will look into them though.


Thanks

Re: What exercise(s) did You do today?

Getting ready to go to work(3-11) i did not exercise today as yet, i had a very late, huge, lunch after coming back from my weigh in this morning. I dont like to exercise on a full stomach. So perhaps tonight i can get in 20 minutes of weights, then turn around and get up to work 7-3:30 tomorrow . Not having 2 days off in a row, really sucks sometimes. Like NOW



****Work those thigh muscles!!!**** Your bottom half with love you for it!

Re: What exercise(s) did You do today?

Yesterday i did Nada`...nothing. Worked 3-11 came home, ate and went to bed. I am either getting a cold(which i have not had in years) or some strange allergies. But today i am rested(still sniffling) and going to do some weight training.

Re: What exercise(s) did You do today?

Went clothes shopping today, all the days/nights/weeks/hours/months of MOVING it, are paying off!!


Time for my 45 mins of aerobics. I am blessed.

Re: What exercise(s) did You do today?

Did a warm up of 4 minutes
10-minute total-body toning workout( with some weights)

People with written goals accomplish 10 times as much as people who don't write them.

Re: What exercise(s) did You do today?

I dont feel like it, but(t) its not getting smaller sitting on it.

Going to do some aerobics, the short version tonight, 25 mins

Re: What exercise(s) did You do today?

Because it is 93 outside and very humid, i stayed inside and walked on my incline treadmill. Even with the A/C on i was sweating. Did not do anything yesterday (Sunday June 17th) so tonight after it cools down i will do some weights and toning.

Re: What exercise(s) did You do today?

Toooooooooooooo hot to go outside,so i will do aerobics inside in the A/C. I did exercise yesterday and still broke a sweat, but i didnt use the weather as an excuse not to do it.

Re: What exercise(s) did You do today?

Wednesday(June 20) i did,
a warm up of 4 minutes
10-minute total-body toning workout( with some weights)
legs & butt- 5 mins----3 & 5 lb weights)
Abs & lower back- 5 mins----again with 3 & 5 lb weights
arms & shoulders - 5 mins--3 & 5 lb weights
Chest & upper back- 5 mins-- 5lb weights.


Last night i did 30 mins of cardio workout.

I think i am going to buy some 8 lb weights, i have and use, 2 pound and 5 pounds.

Re: What exercise(s) did You do today?

Think i will so some cardio........how about it!!

Re: What exercise(s) did You do today?

I really didn't think the old dreaded treadmill that is not flat but inclined,nor is it motorized, was that bad yesterday, so i think i will try for 21 minutes today. Then tackle some cardio/aerobics later on.


Movin`shakin` sweatin.........

Re: What exercise(s) did You do today?

I did 22 minutes on the treadmill, i know that dont seem like alot,but since it is an incline treadmill, it is walking uphill. Each week i think i will add 1-2 minutes.

Re: What exercise(s) did You do today?

Sweatin to Cardio/aerobics

Re: What exercise(s) did You do today?

Took yesterday off, had to look here to see what i did.

What did You do today?

I read this little motivator by Bob Greene,
"In all His years, he has never met anyone who was not happy she exercised once she was done. So get out there.Feel your blood pump,your head clear, and that amazing and satisfying sense of accomplishment"

Re: What exercise(s) did You do today?

Dripped sweat! kicked up my treadmill up a notch, 25 minutes!!

Saving the aerobics for later

Re: What exercise(s) did You do today?

Hi all, I worked out at the gym. which I normally don't go on Fridays, and keep bumping up the time I am there, It was great, hardly anyone at the little gym I go to. I feel good and ready to be OP for the entire weekend. If hubby does BBQ, I may have to kill him....LOL. I love his BBQ and of course all his dishes, as he loves to cook. Have a great weekend all
