Wiggle, Wiggle, Wiggle, Wiggle, Wiggle... You guys do know the song right?

Well anyway, this is where you can post you fitness for the day IF YOU WANT and maybe what you're doing to lose weight.

9/4/13: I burned 1098 calories with dance class and random strength moves. I'm happy about that~!

    That's a really great work out!

    I haven't had my work out yet, but my husband and I will probably be going on a walk this afternoon! I can't wait until the weather is nice. I love fall!

    I'm on day 2 of the Jillian Michaels 30 day shred! Hoping it doesn't take me much longer than the allotted time given but I have a friend staying with me for the next few days and it's a little awkward to be hopping around my room with her watching hahaha.
  • I'm doing the Slim in 6 Program - 3rd day done!! Oh and I shall say - this month I'm also doing a squat challenge. Today was a NO squat day (woot woot!) but tomorrow I got to do 70 (WHA!!??!!??) so not me but hey, anything to lose an inch from the bum-bum!

    Today I did 20 minutes of Hight Interval Training on the ellyptical followed by 1hour with my personal trainer. We did what seemed like a gazillion dead lifts! I highly reccomend lifting to anyone trying to shed inches!

    I'm doing 30 day plank and squat challenges from Pinterest this month. Today was rest day from squats thank god. The plank was only 30 seconds, which is totally doable for me. The end goals are a 5 minute plank and 250 squats!

    I've also just started going back to the gym! I used to be a weight lifting beast but I totally stopped when I came to college. For right now, I'm just focusing on consistency and actually getting TO the gym 3x/week and doing 30 minutes on the treadmill or elliptical. Once I've lost enough weight and regained enough flexibility/mobility to lift safely, I'm going to start StrongLifts 5x5 again. I love and miss lifting.

    My goals for September are to complete my challenges and get to the gym 3x/week for the month. October's goals will probably be a little more aggressive once I get in the swing of things.

    I did yard work today and burned ~700 calories. Did 2:15 hours of activity. So sleepy! Headed to bed now.

    Catch ya later!
  • Wow, that's a huge number of calories burned. I barely got 400 with 40 mins cardio and 20 mins on weights. How many hours a day do you workout?

    I have an elliptical and a Weider Ultimate Bodyworks total gym (knock off of The Total Gym endorsed by Chuck Norris & Christie Brinkley at a fraction of the price.) So today I did 30 minutes on the elliptical and 30 minutes of circuit/strength training. This home gym really has changed my life already. We got it the middle of February this year and by the end of March I had lost 27 lbs. just working out on it 20 min about 5 days a week. Then we went on vacation and I didn't exercise and never got back on it when I got home. I thought I would maintain my weight loss over the summer, but 9 lbs. already came back on. I started at 230 lbs., got down to 203 lbs. and now here I am, joined MFP 1 week ago at 212 lbs. I did lose 5 lbs. this past week so I'm motivated and happy to be apart of this group!

    Ive signed up to a local leisure centre for 3 months to help motivate me. I have been going for just over a week now and been to the gym every day for an hour, swimming once a week and a step aerobics class once a week. Should I have a rest day? I dont want to at the moment as my motivation is really high and I want to capitalise on that whilst it lasts!

    I am sticking to 1200 cals a day and eating back around 200-300 cals from my exercise so am definitely not going hungry. Lost 5lb in my 1st week which is great (i know this will drop).

    Yesterday evening after work my husband and I went on an hour long walk.

    Today I will be cleaning in prep for company I'm having over this weekend, and I'll probably also do my Jillian Michaels DVD.

    Yall are AWESOME! Glad to see I'm not the only fitness junkie here.

    I wanted to do an AM workout but had to get to wrok early today and couldn't risk being late. So I did some modified V-ups [ I have kidney stones right now and V ups KILL my back with pain] in bed before getting up and 50 squats.

    I'll get my real workout in later today... :-D

    So my PA routine can be pretty varied. Official workouts are generally in the pool, some weights (which I plan to incorporate more and more) and I've tried a few times to get back in to jogging with starting up C25K but I've never much enjoyed running so that one is a bit challenging.

    Plenty of unofficial PA opportunities around here everywhere, however, doing general chores around our property: swinging a chainsaw around falling/cutting the (sadly) many dead trees that have croaked during this drought, clearing brush, throwin' hay, etc. Not to mention trying to keep up with my 5 and 9 year old boys.

    OK, let's keep this moving in the right direction y'all.



    Oh, and regarding:

    Wiggle, Wiggle, Wiggle, Wiggle, Wiggle... You guys do know the song right?




    Perhaps this version of the track should be considered for the official theme song our little challenge group...

    Terrific Thursday is my rest day! But I will be walking my dog tonight for at least a mile. Tomorrow is day 5 of the squat challenge and a HIIT core workout I found on Pinterest and of course running.

    Hi All! So happy to be here and see others are doing the squat challenge!

    I have two little boys and a house to take care of. I don't work out on top of that. I truly believe that weight loss starts in the kitchen. Maybe I'll start working out at a later point but for right now my focus is solely on diet.

    30 Day Shred, L1D4 today :) There must be a whole bunch of fear leaving my body cos it burns so bad..!

    Great work everyone - keep it up!
  • Gurlllll! 70 squats??? You rock. LOL. I can do maybe 20. You inspire me to do 70 squats during this winter challenge!
  • Ok... So i thought i would post what i have done this week.... i think i have been kinda slack this week as well but with what i have done i'm extremely sore today LOL (also its friday for me)

    Tuesday I had personal training session:
    Bench press 10kg- 12 x3
    Squats (using squat rack thing)20ish-kg 12 x3
    Chin ups 12x2
    Plank x4 roughly 50seconds each time
    Clean and press 12kg 12x2
    Plus I was a little early and he was still with someone so i jumped on the tredmill and did a 7min jog while I waited.

    Wednesday I had the day off and was just running around cleaning the house and stuff because my boyfriend was flying home after being away for a week... so didn't really workout.

    Thursday (last night) - I was very temped not to go to boxing because I was very sore from tuesday PT session... BUT I got angry at myself for thinking that and pushed myself to go.
    Squats with a 5kg weight going right to the ground then back up, raising arms above the head and doing a tricep thing by dropping the weight behind our head then back up.... did that 55 times with push ups in between... (10 squats, 8 push ups, 9 squats 10 push up, 8 squats 12 push up etc etc)
    that was the hardest part of the boxing last night.
    one hour class.

    I have tonight off....
    Tomorrow and sunday I have yoga.
  • That's amazing...I did treadmill, 167 calories..hey, I'm slow:)
