    Tonight I'm warming up with 5 minutes of light jumping rope, followed by some arm workouts with resistance bands and 8-10 lb dumbbells, followed by some plie squats, hip raises, leg raises, thigh raises, Self's 8 Minutes to Slim, then a 30 minute walk outside.

    Did 3 1-mile runs with 1-mile walks in between (total distance of 5.7 miles with warmup/cooldown), then I did the entire circuit from No More Trouble Zones. 2 hours and 1 minute of working out today, despite a bum ankle and knee :)

    I did the run part of this treadmill workout I found on this website http://carrotsncake.com/2008/02/45-minute-treadmill-workout.html I had to lower it down a few times because I am not in the best running shape and the thing is all hills. But I burnt 550 cals in 45 minutes. There is a walking option too. I felt good after that :)

    They have pulleys and adjust independently on either side to do a TON of neat exercises... You can work absolutely anything on them.

    I have been all over the place lately, mixing it up. Was doing the Shred but it started to bother my knees ... so now I just do what strikes me. Last night I did 30 minutes of boxing and 25 minutes of kettlebell (The Firm workout). Got some Ace braces for my knees so may get back on the Shred now. :smile: Checking out a Zumba class next week!

    Sorry, I guess you only asked about today ... :embarassed: :laugh:

    You guys are amazing!! I am officially inspired to get away from this computer so I'm lacing up my shoes, putting on the HRM and heading to the gym for:

    100 jumprope skips alternating with bicep / tricep weightlifting moves
    30 minutes of intervals on elliptical

    And also aiming for a 45 minute walk this afternoon.

    I've set a 600 calorie burn goal for the day.

    Thanks!

    >> Warm up of either ride/row/jog/skip for 5-10 minutes,
    >> Stretch

    3x15 pushup with hands on Med Ball
    3x30 Feetup crunch, feet on Swiss Ball
    3x10 Tuck to Pushup, feet on Med Ball (feet are on medball in push up position, first do a push up, then drag ball in towards you with feet until knees are in chest).
    3x20 reverse crunch with med ball between knees. (lie on back with feet on ground and knees bent, hold a med ball between your knees and lift into your chest)
    3x20 Bicep curls
    3x20 Hip Rasies, (lie on back, legs straight up in air and hold swiss ball between feet, lift hips off ground by pushing feet up)
    3x30 Reciprocal bicep curl (15 each arm)
    3x20 Alternating bridge/plank (support yourself on forearms and toes so you're prallel to ground, then lift/reach opposite hand and foot off ground, 10 each "side")
    3x15 Stiff Arm Lat Pulldown (bend over at waist, withstraight arms, hold a cable/elastic cord out in front of you, then pull down towards sides).
    3x10 "walk outs". Lie face down on swiss ball .. basically on your stomach/chest. Then, walk hands out until only your feet/shins are on ball (so you're in a push up position, so if you're feeling strong, do a push up), then walk hands back to start position.
    NOTE: Rest 60 seconds between sets, no/dynamic rest between exercises. Typically takes me about 40 minutes (70-80minutes with stretches/warmup).

    >> 10 minutes of stretching

    Well since it's Thursday I did weight training. But of course I must have a warm up before I lift weights so I did HIIT on the treadmill for 12 minutes. (walk 2 mins, run 1 min, walk 2 mins, run 1 min, etc)

    After I burned THOSE 200 calories I moved over to the weight portion of my work out.


    Dumbbell Row, One-Arm, Bent-Over 2x 8x 30
    Bench Press, Barbell 3x 8x 55
    Seated Biceps Curl 3x 8x 20
    Triceps Extension 1x 20x 12
    Overhead Press, Barbell 3x 8x 45


    28 minutes later I burned 500 calories doing that. Equalling 700 calories burned total for this mornings work out. Whew...got tired just typing that.
