Its Tuesday, who's working out today

biglosser · 02-10-2009, 03:30 AM

Good morning everyone!

So who's working out today?

I will do my 4 mileson the treadmill after work tonight. 2 miles I will run at 6.0 mph and then walk 2 miles at 4.7 with a 2 deg incline then slow it down to 4.3 with an 8 deg incline. This is great for the butt.

Have a good workout and burn those pounds off.

junkfoodmonkey · 02-10-2009, 04:22 AM

I'm due to be at the gym after work.

mamagiff · 02-10-2009, 04:41 AM

Not sure yet...I'm at a hotel with DH and when he gets back from his meetings later today, we'll check out the fitness room to see what they have. We do plan on doing some pool time and if nothing else I'll do some water walking and a bit of swimming.

I'll be here tomorrow, too, and I'm hoping that the hotel fitness room has some weights so I can at least do a modified version of my weights workouts. We'll see...

BeThin · 02-10-2009, 04:55 AM

Working out with a exercise show this morning then I will be on the treadmil.

NurseShannon · 02-10-2009, 05:09 AM

Gonna try out my new Turbo Jam Extreme workout, which I am super excited to try...and do my C25K run on the elliptical since its raining here.

sugarless4life · 02-10-2009, 05:12 AM

Upper body, arms, core work and stability ball today! Rest day for the legs after yesterday's 8 miles.

Betty

sprinklesmom · 02-10-2009, 05:26 AM

50 min on the treadmill at a level 9 hill setting.

Sleepy · 02-10-2009, 05:43 AM

45 minutes water jogging tonite

LCCupcake · 02-10-2009, 05:59 AM

1 hour on the elliptical plus ab work(PT exercises and crunches) with stability ball and hand weights done!

Last week I was 100% pain free so I'm transitioning from the seated elliptical to the regular one. Next stop...the pavement!

I honestly like the seated elliptical more than I thought and will continue using it as cross training even once I'm back to running for my main source of exercise. That will make my sports medicine doctor very happy.

Great job everybody!

wiz · 02-10-2009, 06:05 AM

Hey all, I'm back from FL. I did exercise all weekend down there, what a pleasure to get out in shorts and a t-shirt :-)

But back in NJ today...it was about 34 degrees this morning, not too bad. I did a 5-mile run on the boardwalk. Felt great

Thanks Betty!

March is only a few short days away!

I am wonderfully sore from that PT workout last night and this AM. Not the OMG did I pull something sore but that great feeling you get after a hard workout and a job well done!

huskerfan · 02-10-2009, 08:04 AM

Two mile run right after work

qbert · 02-10-2009, 08:07 AM

Treadmill done, now I will add upper body weights.

Snickerdoolers · 02-10-2009, 08:12 AM

I will get another 2.5 mi. walk in tonight after work, i couldn't get my butt outta bed this a.m. to do the yoga though...

JerseyGirl1969 · 02-10-2009, 08:17 AM

I did. 20m HIIT. 1 hr Upper Body session.

Very proud of myself...today I did explosive pushups! Whoda thunk it.

beritz · 02-10-2009, 08:31 AM

Treadmill finished. Had to fight it all the way this a.m. but finished. Some days seem so easy and yet every now and then it is a real chore.

DaffodilSoup · 02-10-2009, 08:43 AM

I'm hitting the gym tonight after class - cardio and weights. Hopefully since I'm going later today it won't be as crowded!

Clannad · 02-10-2009, 08:46 AM

You all are so inspiring! I am just starting out (again), albeit slowly. I have to admit, I have a lot of starts and stops lately for whatever reasons (no excuses). But I am giving it another go. So for today, I focused on abs, arms and legs. Later today I will go out for a walk, unless it rains, then I will go on the elliptical.

sugarless4life · 02-10-2009, 08:46 AM

50 minutes with Gilad followed by additional ab and arm work.

Betty

Paul D · 02-10-2009, 08:49 AM

I'll be cycling for an hour, inside on my trainer today. It's almost nice enough to get outside, but not quite. I can't wait, I'm itching to hit the road again.

LeanLioness · 02-10-2009, 08:57 AM

Going to pull out the Tae Bo dvd and try it out this evening..........

Also taking the puppy for a walk.

LCKaren · 02-10-2009, 09:09 AM

week 3 workout 3 of couch to 5k done.

I should be much further along than this but this is proving to be such a challenge for me.

I am only up to running 3 minutes at a time (then walking 3 minutes etc etc) but boy, I really don't love it so far.

I did week 4 workout 1 a couple of weeks ago...and then got sick...and then got lazy.

Will try week 4 again in a couple of days but I get myself so psyched out about running for 5 minutes that I dread it....sigh...

I know it doesn't seem like much to those of you who can run miles and miles at a time but it's really tough for me. I think it's more the cardio part of it than the legs being tired. Sorry to sound like such a whiner...

...and I'm not giving up yet.

I am one of those who do not like running, but I do it anyway. I don't like any cardio but running is the one I hate the least.
Why do I keep doing it? It's good for me and I feel GREAT when I am done.
Who knows, maybe some day you will like it.

That said, I am home from work early so will go for a run after i do some errands.

amiga74 · 02-10-2009, 09:48 AM

i did the first workout from "The New Rules of Lifting for Women". The book finally came in from the library. i just needed something new and different. the step ups and push ups were a challenge.
then i did an interval spin class.

Karen, the first mile I run is the absolute hardest thing for me. My body is so resistant to moving "forward" .. I strive so hard just to get through it. Yes, me, the one who has been running for 5 1/2 years. I loathe the first mile!!! The good news is, once I get my body in motion and have that first 5,280 feet behind me, it becomes so enjoyable for me. I get my "tempo" going and, by the time I've gone another couple of miles, I am really into it and enjoying it. I've never understood how the first mile can be the hardest, but it surely is. I know that if I can just keep up that "relentless forward motion" to get beyond it, the rest is easy. And like Ellen said, I feel GREAT afterwards so all that effort is most certainly worth it. And of course I like being a toned, fit and strong woman in her early 50s! That alone keeps me running!

Hang in there! You're doing great!
