Lazy girl seeks exersize buddies!

[scrappychik]

gals! I did 30 minutes on the TM again this AM. The incline really makes a difference! Weigh-in day for me tomorrow. I hope the scale is kind

Have a great day!!

[Aijarama]

I'll admit it! I had a laaaaazy weekend! No exercise from Friday to Sunday!

Got a little 15-minute aerobics workout and a 15 minute yoga workout at home yesterday...anything's better than nothing.

Resolved to get back on track today!

[scrappychik]

Hey Aija! Me too-Guilty I havent been consistent like I was. I did treadmill this morning though and also some exercises with weights, so hopefully we'll be back on track. I did weigh on Friday and I was 150.0!!!! 140's here I come!!! Have a great day and Ill check back in tomorrow

[scrappychik]

Okay, another 30 minutes on the treadmill and weights this AM How are you doing Aija? The gym is calling to you-Aiiiiija!!!

[Aijarama]

I swear my post got lost in the vortex...

Tuesday: 30min elliptical - 2minute intervals, 10min treadmill incline

Wednesday: 30min elliptical - 2min intervals and THEN 20min treadmill - 2min jog/walk intervals AND THEN arms!!!

[scrappychik]

WTG!!!!!! I just finished my 30 minutes on the treadmill-upped the intensity today and I really felt it I also did weights and increased my reps. KUTGW Aija! Lazy girls? Us? I dont think so!!!!!

[delynmonet]

Way to go, ladies!! Excellent workouts!

Periodically, I will check in to see how progress is going. This morning, I walked 52 mins, 3.24 miles, 500 cals. on the treadmill.

I post on my TM thread - Anybody Want to Be a Treadmill Buddy? No. 2 - if you want to see updates of various workouts.

Have a great day!

[scrappychik]

Del!! Thanks for stopping by. WOW your workout puts mine to shame, but it gives me hope that I will be able to do it one day too KUTGW You are really an inspiration! Have a great LC day.

I think I may have a solution or an idea to what is known as "Cardio-Boredom"!

I tried this yesterday and I feel great!

I go to the gym 6 days a week but if you're a home body this may work for you!

Here is what you do. Break up your cardio into 3 - 10 minute shifts.

Step onto your treadmill - walk and work up to a slow jog to get the blood pumping. Remember only 10 minutes!

Then do some strength training (if you don't have weights, improvize!) Lift up gallons of water and do some lateral raises to get rid of those chicken wings! Or make a game out of picking up the kids or pets. Slow fluid movements. Check the internet for more ideas of strength training at home. Throw in some seated tricep presses, too.

Again, get on that treadmill or if you were outside. Start it up again for another 10 minutes. Raise the intensity a bit. Start speed walking or perhaps jog a little faster. Feeling the sweat? Make sure you keep yourself hydrated!

Now, this is the time to do those abs. (Reverse Crunches, 30-second planks, bicycles.)

This sounds terrible but jump on the treadmill again for your last shift and you're done!

If you are new to exercise then skip the last shift but the time does pass quickly especially when you're listening to great upbeat music.

[scrappychik]

Great ideas! Thanks for sharing

I just finished another 45 minute workout
AND weighed in today at 149.0!!!

[scrappychik]

Good morning! I exercised this weekend both treadmill and weights but Im off of exercise for 2 days cuz Im doing a fruit flush. Be back tomorrow

[scrappychik]

Well I did the fruit flush and lost down to 144, however I started getting pains in my right side on Wed afternonn and after trips to urgent care & doc, STILL dont know EXACTLY whats wrong. I dont have gall stones but dr suspects something is going on there. SO no exercise until I get this figured out I was REALLY on a roll too. Oh well-Ill get back to it as soon as I fell able to. Hope you havent given up Aija. You were doing great too Check in when you can

[Aijarama]

I'm here, I'm here! Working like a maniac, though! Trying to keep the food stuff in check

Guess what - my sister and I are gonna start going roller-skating on Sundays - how's that for exercise and fun?

[scrappychik]

Roller skating? How fun!!!!!!! Well I got back on the treadmill first thing this AM-It WAS hard but I did it I will try to do some arm work with weights later on. My food is on track and Im hoping I will be able to lose these last 10 pounds without TOO much of a struggle. KUTGW Aija, and check in whenever you can

[Aijarama]

Checking in!

I've made it to the gym Monday and Tuesday...so I'm on a roll! Trying to incorporate more strength training/abs into my routine. On Mondays and Wednesdays, I get out of work at 3:30 and I have class at 6:40 (in the same town)...so that leaves me with plenty of time to do what? Go to the gym! haha! I'd be a jerk not to, with 3 hours to kill, so I'm glad that at least two nights a week, I'm almost guaranteed to work out.

[scrappychik]

WTG, Aija! I did 30 min of Fat Burn program on my treadmill this AM

[Aijarama]

Yay Lisa! Burn that fat!

Sometimes on the elliptical it keeps me going to think of the hot, hot body I will soon have

Scale moved a little for me, which is good - I've been really good about night eating and whatnot!

Did abs and elliptical yesterday - tonight I'm working late, so I'm gonna try and do abs during Survivor

and Ill do Abs tonight too!!

[scrappychik]

I did 30 minutes fat burn on the treadmill yesterday and this AM

[scrappychik]

Ugh-Tom arrived yesterday and I really dont feel good. I know I should treadmill but I think I will just do some crunches-hey, it's better than nothing right :wink:

[Aijarama]

Haha yup! I have an exam next week and really need to get some reading in, so I'm gonna skip the gym tonight and go to the library. Maybe I will hit up the gym after class, or just do some abs or a short pilates thing tonight.

I did dance it out Friday AND Saturday night, so that's gotta count (it probably just burned off the alcohol, but I'll keep dreaming)

I just finished my 30 minutes on the treadmill And just do what you can-sometimes its tough fitting exercise into our hectic schedules, but every little bit helps. Enjoy your day

[scrappychik]

I walked another 1.7 miles this AM

[scrappychik]

No exercise yesterday and prolly not today I have so much work to do. I will try tomorrow, though. Happy Valentine's Day!

[scrappychik]

30 minutes on the treadmill

[scrappychik]

No exercise this weekend It is so hard when my family is home on the weekends to stick to my routuine! I had to go to the dentist for my 6 month check up this AM, but I will try to do something in a bit. BBL...

[Aijarama]

Just got back from a weekend of too much eating and too much outlet shopping in Lancaster PA! Back on track! I'll try and check in tonight with some exercise to report!
