Bliss, I have been trying to find that magic bullet too. Can't find it anywhere!

Magie, 5 miles!!

That is awesome!

Leisha, hope you enjoy your RS video! I personally can't get past his annoyance to me, but I know his stuff is effective.

Mel, seriously, once you get started with Insanity, it is addictive. I did it this time last year, but had to stop after the first month because I pulled my pec muscle b/c I pushed to hard. This time, I am not going to push so dang hard and get it done! My older brother is getting married on April 20th and I will finish this in the beginning of April and hope to be wicked hot for the wedding!

leisha · 02-01-2012, 07:46 AM

Stacey....I watched some of that RS video on you tube ...before ordering...and decided not to order that just yet. Annoying might be a good word for what I was thinking!

But I want something "fun" like that, just not that! Any suggestions....fun and beginner level?

Deb · 02-01-2012, 11:23 AM

Long run this morning followed by a bow-flex session

Just got my pushups in today......nothing else. Not even time to ride a horse....and such LOVELY weather here. Snow coming in late tomorrow though....

MagieDen · 02-01-2012, 08:15 PM

2 miles treadmill/upper body push ups and hand weights

domesticbliss · 02-01-2012, 09:06 PM

today was 1 hour of water aerobics, 5 days of consecutive exercise, go me!

Gremom · 02-02-2012, 07:37 AM

YAY bliss!! WTG!!

Did my insanity today. Was a cardio recovery which involved a lot of deep tissue stretching. O.U.C.H.

newmomtx · 02-02-2012, 09:39 AM

Such a nice group! You gals inspire me.. Something broke my exercise regime and its so hard to start it back again

.. Can I join your group? Would love to record some exercise everyday (even 10 mins is good, right?) and really really need some motivation

Texas Cowgirl · 02-02-2012, 10:15 AM

everyone! And

to the new people! And another Texas gal, too! Hi, newmomtx! We're proving exercise doesn't have to be the same old, same old. Whatever gets you moving, limbers you up and gets some pounds off is great!

Ten minutes exercising is better than ten minutes sitting (or lying

) on the couch!

Today I've done 20 minutes on the Treadclimber (Old Lady Speed, 1.1 mph, but hey! That's what I am, and besides, faster speeds scare me. I'm building up, though.) This afternoon dh and I plan to load the bed of the truck with tree limbs and drive them out into the pasture to build another brushpile for the quail. There's an exercise you don't see in most people's routines!

Keep on keeping on, ladies!

Gremom · 02-02-2012, 06:01 PM

newmomtx!!

Glad you have joined us!

Since it was nice out today (70 degrees) DS and I went outside and I weeded the garden and dug up some old plants while he played. That was a bonus exercise for me! Score!

leisha · 02-02-2012, 06:31 PM

Texas Cowgirl...your exercise sounds like mine sometimes! "Picking up the dead chickens in all of the chicken houses" or "stacking cut up fire wood"
but that's the kind of stuff I LOVE to do....physical exertions with a purpose!!! I told my husband that I was going to tear a big old house on our place down, board by board so I would have a goal to work for....he told me to do it!

I just haven't gotten around to it yet!!

domesticbliss · 02-02-2012, 09:10 PM

omg picking up all those chickens must really work your biceps... and make you want steak!
today I swam for 15 min... I'm debating whether or not to take a day off tommorrow, it's going to be hectic enough without trying to cram in the gym before dinner time... at least I swam today!

Deb · 02-03-2012, 01:17 AM

Moving tree limbs....moving dead chickens...

all im doing is bow-flexing and running

Gremom · 02-03-2012, 06:09 AM

Insanity pure cardio, done! Seriously CRAZY workout!!

Forgot to mention that I changed up my girls' room yesterday and moved furniture and carried lots of toys/boxes/thier junk!!

I can't even imagine cleaning up dead chickens! Ewww!! I just like cooking them!

mommy_gates · 02-03-2012, 07:35 AM

Domesticbliss ..Callanetic are very interesting...good for muscle toning i've got 4 dvd 10/10 would be the first one to try they have the instructions,it's very old but very good..got mine at "Amazon"...check out the thread they have here on this forum...

Mel,Grenon...i'm following yous...

leisha · 02-03-2012, 08:12 AM

Y'all are cracking me up about the dead chickens!

Seriously, it is a work out and it does make me want steak! I don't eat chicken or eggs....but I never did!

Newmomtx.....even 10 minutes is great! I joke all of the time that I'm just here to cheer them on and visit! I'm having the hardest time getting back in to any exercise routine too!

newmomtx · 02-03-2012, 09:32 AM

Thank y'all for the warm welcome

!

Did 20 minutes of Callanetics: basics of legs and behind. Yay for starting some exercise!

mommy gates and

everyone! No picking up dead chicken, leisha, but I did get in about 30 minutes of four stores and parking lots and just now 20 minutes on the Treadclimber! I wanted to look at some of the exercise dvds at Wally, but dh was moving on!

Yayyy, me!

I've tried to eat clean, too! I hope everyone in the cold parts stays warm tonight.

Take care, but keep it moving, friends!

I....JUST.....DID....IT!!!! I just walked 1 mile!!!! Finally, I get to post something!!! It is beautiful outside.....it does not feel like February! Daffodils and narcissus are blooming! The magnolias and even the pear trees are starting. I just know we're going to have several more cold snaps that will mess this up but I know that God knows what He is doing!

Deb · 02-04-2012, 11:11 AM

Gremom · 02-04-2012, 12:22 PM

Insanity early this morning and tomorrow is my day off! YAY!

Leisha, yay!! God blessed us with beautiful warm weather too and it was awesome. Today is cool and rainy, but it is nice to be inside spending time with the kids.

Mel, you busy little thing!

domesticbliss · 02-04-2012, 02:39 PM

didn't have time to post yesterday... friday was 1hr water aerobics, today was 1hr water aerobics (omg this was a great class, a different instructor, we did drills of 3 min cardio, 2 min toning, 1 min abs... this killed!)

mommy_gates · 02-04-2012, 04:27 PM
