Mini Motivation Workout Challenge!! 1-1-11

frenchfri87

Happy new year to everyone!! Whats not making me so 'happy' about today? MY GYM IS CLOSED!!

So I'm thinking my puppy and I will hit the streets for some walk/run fun haha.. I'm sort of lacking motivation.. sooo does anybody who hasn't got in their workout yet today (or those of us who weren't really planning on working out today hehe) want to join me for this mini challenge? Get off your butt and work out!!

Check back in after your workout to let me know how you did! :flowerforyou:

Funny, my husband and I were just having the same conversation about our gym being closed.
I opted for a treadmill run - just completed 3.2 miles, so I'm okay with that. My husband chipped all
the snow off our driveway and that little stint earned him 219 calories.
Happy New Year, and best wishes!

I also live where there's snow - and a lot of wind today (Wisconsin) - and I made the mistake of telling my husband I needed help being held accountable. So while I'm comfy on my couch this afternoon catching up on ZZZ's from last night, he announces that we're "going for a little jog." And it was little - to him - just a mile or so. But it felt good to get up and get moving! A good start to 2011!

my gym was open and packed with people taking tours and buying new memberships . . . . i'm so surprised any gym would be closed today

great job getting out to do something! I'm sure Zoo is happy too!

LAME about your gym!

We bought a really nice Elliptical machine because with my 3 year old and my baby, 8 months, its just really hard for me to get out to the gym. But, I have a pounding headache today so once my Motrin kicks in I will be hopping on it for a work out.

Have a great walk with your puppy! Its SOOOOO cold here today, like in he 20's... my 3 year old will not go outside. haha

I'm headed out the door with my Ipod and walking shoes. My husband just left for golf and I can't go with him, so I will not be stuck at home doing nothing. Not sure how far I will go, but I have stocked some pretty good tunes on there and am sure a couple of miles will make me feel great! Thanks for the mini challenge!

So my puppy Zoo and I walked down to the high school track which is a little over a mile. Ran a mile on the track and walked back home. When we got home i did 50 pushups (girly pushups hehe) and 50 situps! Just glad to have done something today after being super sick for 2 days!!

Plumeria- Zoo had tons of fun!! he loves the track!! He's sooooo dirty, needs a bath big time!

It is pouring outside here in Florida so me and the kiddos went on the porch and did jumping jacks and I did 100 on the ab lounger. It's a start LOL.

Great job Sprite! Any exercise is better than nothing at all. I was super fortunate that it was 45 degrees here in NY today. Sounds like the weather was pretty lame everywhere else!
