@MissEESmith and @jessicakahn606 Definitely! I was getting really bored with the elliptical. It's always been my go to, but I was kind of dreading working out and I figured out it was because I was bored with it, so I switched. The backs of my knees kind of hurt from the treadmill I think though??? When I woke up this morning I was like "oh dear". Did I use it wrong?0
-
I am not sure. I mainly do strength building workouts but I rarely wake up sore. To me if the body is hurting it needs a rest. Maybe you were going to fast or ran to long? Did you stretch or do some kind of warm up before starting? That always helps me.0
-
You know, it was probably the non-stretching that did me in. I didn't stretch because I never do with the elliptical. But maybe since the treadmill is more run-y, I should have stretched before and after it. I did interval walking and running, so I don't think it was from running too long0
-
Well hopefully stretching next time helps with the soreness! If not then I'm clueless! Lol0

@Batgirl1994 I'm definitely thinking that warm up will help with the treadmill. I assume the pain is hamstring related.
I know it sounds like I have stock in Sworkit, but some of the things that I like about it are:
randomized workouts so each workout is different every day
no equipment necessary
visual and aural exercise instruction
can be performed in an area of a yoga mat
stretching, yoga, strength, and cardio categorized workouts
calculates calories & syncs with myfitnesspal
I have a full gym in my condo building with treadmills and ellipticals and weight benches that I pay for with my assessments.
I'd rather watch Netflix standup comedy specials and cable serials while I Sworkit.
This is my gym - along with 2 kettle bells.

@MissEESmith it doesn't sound like you have stock in anything! Lol you are just sharing an idea that you like! it is something we could all do! So I have downloaded the app and will check it out latter today!
Honestly it sounds a lot like an app I currently used called Fitstar! same thing! I just have a yoga mat as my gym! I just have the free app and program on there cause I'm a broke college girl! But it is an amazing app! Different workouts and it syncs with my fitness pal! I'm telling you even there smallest workouts have me sweating! 0 -
Definitely. I stretched yesterday and today and nothing hurts
Oh sweet! I'll have to look into both of those. Thanks for sharing!0 -
Fitstar isn't compatible with my tablet.
Keep the suggestions coming, though. I'm always looking for ways to make exercise fun. My kettle bell workouts are on the free Daily Workouts app.
This plank challenge is killing me. I'm up to 2.5 minutes and it's rough!0 -
Sunday Funday includes Sworkit, weekly fruit & veg shopping, and hospital time. Mister is still snoozing and I'm up at 0600.

@MissEESmith Wtg on the plank challenge! Also, if you want to try Fitstar, you can do it on a laptop or computer, on the web. I was looking into it last night. I think I'll try it that way so I can plug my laptop into my tv with HDMI and do it that way
Also, I love the pic of the day. I was honestly feeling incredibly lazy until I saw it lol0 -

Hey green team!!! MissEESmith scored the highest number of points with 213! so amazing job!!!! The average was a little low this week because I didn't get someone's points in for the week! If we all submitted the numbers on time it would have been around 180 or 170! So we are still doing pretty good! Remember to eat all those veggies! of course if you can't participate for the week because of life just let me know and your always welcome to rejoin the group when your ready! however we all made it to the halfway mark to a better you!!! So keep up the great work everyone! 0

Its 80 over here in LA! Lol so I can't even imagine it being that cold!0

@jessicakahn606 My brain melts higher than 72.0

Lol I tried sworkit yesterday! I really liked it! The changes between exercises were a little fast but I imagine I will get faster the more I use it! I also like the categories for the workouts and how you determine how long you will workout! I still LOVE my Fitstar app but it is a nice change when I get use to my other workouts! But I like Fitstar cause of how it responds to your opinions and feelings of each workout and each exercise! But I think they are both perfect at home as you watch tv type of workouts! 0

I can't get Fitstar to load the initial fitness test.

Me on the treadmill:
"Tiredness is a state of mind, tiredness is a state of mind. You're not tired, Bri. No, you don't get tired. Tired is for the weak. You're not weak. 30 more seconds. Oh yeah, only 10 now. Almost there. Good job, and you're not even tired. You're not weak. Keep going. 30 more seconds ... Give me 30 more seconds!"
Lol if I spoke my mind people would think I was loony 0 -
@Batgirl1994 That's exactly how I deal with that evil plank challenge.
When I'm 60 seconds into 180, I'm channeling Lois, my friend that says she can do anything for a minute.
I can do anything for a minute. I can do anything for a minute. I can do anything for a minute.
And, the minutes add up, and I'm done.0 -
