What was your exercise for the day?? - Page 7

Majella · 12-01-2011, 01:03 PM

I walked in and out of work today and my feet are killing me, stupid hills! I'd walk more if there was no hills lol but I'll walk in again tomorrow, I'm in a hurry to fit into them jeans!!!

SoHappy · 12-01-2011, 01:56 PM

I did great yesterday with swimming, hot tubbing, and the steam sauna. Felt heavenly, as I woke up achy for some reason. Changes in weather/barometric pressure always affects me.

Today has only been floor exercises and hand weights and stretches, and then running around like a chicken with it's head cut off this afternoon.

And it just occurred to me that there are probably very, very few people anymore who have done any home killing of the chicken to get their chicken dinner, and so don't even know what that old saying comes from.

Can't argue with that Pat, thank the Lord, lol.

Majella · 12-02-2011, 05:13 AM

I walked just over 2 kilometres to work this morning and I tracked it with an app on my phone and it said I only burnt 139 calories. All this time I though I had been burning around 250!!! At least it's good for me and clears my head for the day and my legs have muscles on their muscles

I'd love to go into a hottub around now though!!

I'm one of the very very few people who DO remember. Although I did watch my 'grandmom' do it, I never had to do it myself.

Just watched as she immersed that poor lil thing in that gigantic pot, and I still remember the 'aroma' of those chicken feathers. UGH!!!

itsmeshelly01 · 12-02-2011, 05:51 AM

Oh my gosh i remember too!!! I used to watch my grandma and my aunt ring the chickens necks when i was a kid. Me and my brother had to pluck the feathers!!!

I usually workout every morning but i dont know if its gonna happen today. I have an interview this morning. Its a second interview so im really stressing and wanting to make a good impression so of course i didnt sleep well at all last night and am just too tired to do a video or anything. I may try to go to the gym later if the interview goes well and i get some more energy!!!

I will be a grandma again this weekend! My daughter is having her second. My first grand daughter, im so excited. She is having contractions and will be going to the hospital today.

kel7298 · 12-02-2011, 08:14 AM

4 mile super challenge this morning plus 20 jumping jacks!

(I watched my brother in law wring the heads off chickens...ewww)

Shelly, you are having such an exciting day, one way and another you will probably be burning calories anyway!

I did an aerobic/toning class today, really tough but fun.

betty301 · 12-05-2011, 09:44 AM

I made it to the gym!!

Been trying to take it easy and do gentle things like yoga/pilates and walking. But I couldn't resist pumping that iron today!

It's nice to miss the gym.

Wow!!

Good luck with everything! Let us know how the interview went!

Congrats on your new granddaughter!! How wonderful!

My exercise today was cleaning, cleaning, cleaning!! I always find something "domestic" to do on my down days to keep me occupied and moving around. Well, I sure got around today!

My house looks GREAT! Now I am off for a walk to my wonderful library...

3 Fast Miles with Leslie Sansome this morning plus 20 jumping jacks and 20 squats.

FremenChick · 12-05-2011, 11:23 AM

Krav Maga this morning. We trained throwing elbows, groin kicks, kneeing, and the front-choke escape. I

Krav Maga.

kel7298 · 12-06-2011, 03:13 PM

45 min on the elliptical this morning - 502 calories burned!

avecrain · 12-06-2011, 07:00 PM

30 Day Shred Day 25 today! 5 more days left and I'll have completed the program. I'm getting excited for it to be done, haha. Looking forward to getting back to my sprinting program. I'm a finisher, though, so I'm chugging through. I'm house-sitting this week, and enjoying having my own space to do it, while watching TV (so much more fun), as opposed to closing myself up at my parents' house!

ETA: I also took the doggy I'm looking after on an 80 minute walk and walked to do other errands for 30 more minutes.

Have you found you have a lot more stamina since you started?

3 super fat burning miles with weights (50 min/459 calories burned)

Hmm, I'm not sure! I definitely wasn't starting from scratch, I had been doing intense sprint workouts every other day for 2 months before I started the shred. I haven't noticed many muscular changes either, but I do think Level 3 is easier than Level 2, so maybe Level 2 just made me a lot stronger.

If I remember correctly, it was easier or maybe I just liked it better..

Today I worked out with Jackie Warner doing her Power Circuit Training. It is 40 min long and my HRM registered 353 calories burned.

itsmeshelly01 · 12-09-2011, 04:59 PM

I have been switching between doing turbo jam and kickboxing with Kelley coffey Meyer. Get videos are wonderful. I love kickboxing and im using weighted gloves so the workouts are intense. I do weights 2 days per week. I hurt my forearm a while back and kept lifting heavy and kept hurting it even worse soooooo have finally figured out have to take it a little easy so im don't circuit of kettlebell swings with 15lb kettlebell, deadlifts with 2 15 pound dumbbells, squats with dumbbells, pushups and dips. I do circuit of all 5 for 1 min each back to back, 5 rounds. I do this twice a week, kickboxing 3 times per week, all at home in the morning on a empty stomach. On the weekend I go to the gym in the morning and do 30 min on the elliptical, then 30 min random hills level 17. No weights at the gym right now which is hard because I love lifting heavy but I have to wait until my arm heals.
This morning was 30 min conditioning with Kelley coffey Meyer.

avecrain · 12-09-2011, 06:26 PM

Today was a crazy day. Supposed to be a down day, but I ate a lot of calories because I got up at 6:15, did my 30DS (Day 28...so close!), then drove to Old Rag in VA. (Old Rag Mountain Hike)

Had a great hike and did not need all of the snacks I brought (1400 calories) but I got stuck in maddening traffic on the way home and was way bored and couldn't resist the almonds and choco chips. It's amazing to me how my body was totally able to do 3.5 hours of hard hiking on a 400 calorie breakfast and 180 calorie Luna Bar.

itsmeshelly01 · 12-10-2011, 10:56 AM

Turbo jam this morning wearing weighted gloves. That was tough but an awesome workout!

LouLou · 12-11-2011, 05:56 AM

Do you exercise on your DD too? I am restarted Slim in 6 on Monday.

betty301 · 12-11-2011, 06:55 AM

I'm behind here!

I've been doing a lot of walking, yoga, and pilates. I've been getting to the gym 1-2x/week.

Trying to let my body 'heal.'

For me, exercising on a DD is easier only because I have just come off a UD and have loads of energy. I guess it helps that I exercise in the morning as well. Perhaps if I tried in the evening, it would be a completely different answer

Today I walked 4 Fast Miles, burned 524 calories.

Kissa · 12-11-2011, 12:27 PM

Sorry, took a week off, life got in the way, but JUDDD kept working, hit a new low of 123 .

Will be back to report in tomorrow.

avecrain · 12-11-2011, 06:37 PM

Annnnnd, 30DS day 30 today. Woohoo! I was very close to skipping today, it was a down day and I went for a 3 hour walk earlier, but I did it, and achieved doing the 30 day shred for 30 consecutive days, 10 at each level!

Kissa · 12-12-2011, 04:10 AM

Lovely Body Combat class this morning, it feels good to be moving again after my lazy week lats week.

Thanks Kelly! I am proud. I took a complete rest day today (DD), and am thinking of going back to my sprinting tomorrow!

itsmeshelly01 · 12-12-2011, 04:20 PM

Kickboxing this morning with weighted gloves. DD too so by my calculations I have had about 100 calories taking off what I burned. Love that!

Kissa · 12-13-2011, 07:04 AM

Avery that is amazing, most people slow down or even quit! Great work, and you deserve a break.

Attack/toning class for me this morning.
