Hey all! Here we are at Friday Again! YIPPEE! Anyone have big plans for the weekend? Anyone up for another challenge? I am.
So here it is: 2hrs cardio on one or both days. If you are not getting any strength training in start the 30 day squat challenge! You will love the results. If you are already doing strength on a regular basis, start the squat challenge anyway, it is awesome!
The only plans I have for the weekend is dinner tonight with friends, and getting all my cardio and squats done!
Happy Friday!0 -
My gym launced a barre class last night. It was hard but awesome. I'm excited to do more than cardio.0

I'm not really into house music or anything, but i found podcast.com and jenblaze is pretty excellent music for dancing like crazy and running, cycling, and jumpin jacks are really easier somehow

Keeping on the band wagon... with an impromptu bike ride on Friday after hubby ringing up and telling me to get my glad rags on as he was on the way home from work. Unfortunately that ride was cut short, as a result of hubby's pedal deciding to cause mischief and fly off!! Lol... we had to turn back and take the bike to Halfords where we bought it back in April, as the nut wouldn't retighten... the thread on the pedal had literally shredded. But thankfully they fixed for free, as that really shouldn't have happened. Anyway's at least we still managed to do 8.22 miles, so all was not lost.
Went out cycling again today (Sunday) and finally did the route that we were going to do on Friday! Thankfully no drama's today and was really pleased that for the first time managed to cycle all the way out (before we turned around) without stopping! Now that might not sound much of a feat... but hill elevation out goes from 60ft, down to about 22 feet, then right up to about 220 feet... so a long steady incline.!
Hahaha... definitely feeling fitter!
MapMyRide shows different calorie burn than this... so not sure which is right or more accuratem but will go with the one on MFP.
Friday: 8.22 miles - 334 cals - 60 mins (approx)
Sunday: 13.2 miles - 448 cals - 82 mins
Keep up the great work everyone... let's keep zapping these lbs.

I've been working out hard guys but unable to post much because I was away at a conference. Im back and just did 45 min walk with the dog and got in a workout on my spin bike last night.
Walked for 1-2 hours in DC looking at monuments and was pretty active the other days as well!
hope you're all exercising hard and eating HEALTHY0 -
More cycling today... glutton for punishment... 11.3 miles after work (75 mins)... circa 410 calories burned according to MFP. MapMyRide... says 578, but will take the lowest one. 32.72 miles since Friday and the most I've cycled in one week. Yay, more hills accomplished that previously I was walking... so a great feeling to be getting fitter.
Lol, we're on a mission... fantastic work everyone, lets keep burning these calories and zap these excess pounds!! :drinker:0 -
Hey guys!
Looking for an opinion as far as cardio goes. What are your thoughts on 3x60 minute work outs vs. 5x30 minute workouts in a week? Obviously, doing 3 1-hour workouts gets me an extra 30 minutes in the gym every week, but are there benefits to spreading the effort into 5 sessions as opposed to just 3?
I'm looking at either M/W/F for an hour or M/W/F/S/S for 30 minutes. I have a separate schedule for strength training that won't be affected by either option.
Curious as to what works for others, thanks!0 -
I just finished an awesome workout that made me feel amazing. Burned 1464 calories and did dance, spin, and treadmill. Streatched some too. Going to try for an am workout as well.
As far as the time question... I don't set a schedule for my workouts because I never stick to them... If you have a lot of free time maybe 1 hour at a time wouldn't be too bad BUT if you have a busy schedule you may have to do 30 mins 5 days a week.
I typically do what I can, whenever I can... and try for as many days as I can.
That averages 30-60 mins 5-6 days a week for me.0 -
@dynamitegalxo
what if you do MWF X30 and T/R X60 or vice versa?
I had a crazy fun weekend but def gained some weight...lots of drinking and eating how i want....i lost some weight since my normal monday weigh in...here are my workouts
Monday = 654 cals jogging and eliptical (yay!)
Tuesday = 228 cals playing vball
gonna try to get to the gym today and tomorrow before festivities thurs fri sat for a wedding. hitting a 40lb loss is not likely but this is helping me from just letting it all go for weeks at a time. thanks!0 -
i do my kettlebell and body weight work on t/th because it fits in my schedule, no time to get to the gym for cardio. i think i'm going to stick with m/w/f for an hour and see how that goes!
if you hit it hard between events i'm sure you'll get close to 40 0 -
you're good with m/w/f
I didn't work out on the festivities days......i can give excuses but i won't. I just need to stop leaving for days at a time.
Today I burned 665 calories jogging and doing the elliptical. I also did Day 1 of both Squat (50) and Plank (20 sec) Challenges. Just trying to figure out how i want to log them.0 -
Today I burned 883 calories in 203 minutes jogging, elliptical and playing volleyball. I also did Day 2 of both Squat (55) and Plank (20 sec) Challenges.
Plus my butt and thighs hurt SO much from squats yesterday! It made today ROUGH!0 -
is no one posting in here? Is it redundant?0
-
i'm here to un-redundant this thread
hit all my cardio workouts this week and hit all of my wall sit challenge. no problems with either of those things, but i need to find motivation to stretch at night. i really should be doing it every night before bed, but i have yet to make myself do it at all this month. i'd reeeeally like to be able to touch my own toes. BLAH. HOW DO?
goal for next week is to continue to hit all cardio and strength workouts and add stretching in at least 4 days.0 -
what about setting an alarm/reminder at night on your phone? I'm sure you don't go to bed the same time every night but maybe this will get you into a routine...0
-
that's a freakin great idea! i go to bed within about 1/2 hour of the same time every night, and i'm good with a morning routine but my night time routine is usually "contacts out. clothes off. flop into bed." haha.. i shall try an alarm!0

Hey everyone!!
I'm doing so much traveling these days but I'm keeping up my activities. Trying to refocus on the eating.
Going to do 60 mins on the bike when i got off the bike.0
