The purpose of this thread is to post your exercise plans for the week as well as to post your daily exercise activities that you have done to earn those AP's.
My plans are:
Sunday - rest
Monday - 40 minutes on the trainer
Tuesday - 40 minutes on the trainer
Wednesday - 50 minutes on the treadmill
Thursday - 40 minutes on the trainer
Friday - 50 minutes on the treadmill
Saturday - 40 minutes on the trainer
didn't get this posted yesterday. 10 minutes on treadmill, weight lifting circuit, and 45 minutes aerobic class in the pool. Not going to the gym today since we are having heavy winds and I don't want to drive
got my 45 min of running in monday
tuesday took a break--my legs were sore
got up this morning at 6 (very unlike me) and did my favorite Slim in 6 video for an hour
I was supposed to do 40 minutes on the trainer today, but DH was under the weather last night and I didn't want to bother him to set up my bike. So... 50 minutes on the treadmill is out of the way instead.
upped my routine today to 2 miles and burnt close to 200 calories, I didn't even have that much for breakfast, haha, does that count the calories for lunch...
today was weight lifting circuit and water aerobics class (45 min). When I cam home decided to get out the Nordic Track. Did 10 minutes on that. Hope I can increase my time on it to do something different.
I've made it everyday this week. I asked DH to meet me at the gym this week and show me a few new things so I have been learning a lot more and adding more to my routine. I've learned different weight lifting techniques, punch and kick boxing with a bag and my favorite that we did was backward and sideward walking on the treadmill. We put the ramp as high as it would go and then walked at a slow pace backwards and then we walked sideways putting a little bit of a squatting motion into it. What a work out that is, and it is actually fun. I'm dying for new things so this has been great for me.
Keep up the good work everyone!
Move it!

no gym today because of freezing rain (not worth driving 20 miles each way) so I got on the Nordic Track ski machine. Did 20 minutes at high intensity (was sweating after about 3 minutes) figure I earned 4 activity points and I only ate 3 points for breakfast. Will try to increase my time at little bit at a time. I used to do 60 minutes every day, but that was when I was much younger.
This past week, it was:
Monday: 20 min. warm-up cardio, one hour wt. resistence,
Tues.:10 min. warm-up, one hour spin class,1 hr Pilates
Wed.: 20 min. cardio, one hour wt. resistance training
Thursday: 20 min warm-up, 1hr wts, 1hr Pilates
Friday: 15 min. cardio warm-up, 1 hr kickboxing routine
Saturday: 15 min. cardio, 1hr wts, 1hr Spin class
Sunday: Rest...usually I take one or 2 days rest.
there's really something empowering about working out and doing things you never thought you could do before...the benefits are mental, emotional, and physical. I'm sure going to enjoy my rest day tomorrow, Maajida
