Went for a jog today and am feeling good. Might throw in some strength training while I watch project runway. But no legs, they need a rest from the Bring Sally Up yesterday!
So far this week, I am at:
Cardio: 118
Strength: 50
...but I don't plan to slack tomorrow and Saturday just because I've met the goals. NOPE! I actually joined my YMCA last week and am thinking about trying out a class tomorrow am. I'm torn between BodyCombat (an old love from 8-9 years ago!), Yoga (I could definitely use some flexibility training), and Power Pump (that would more than double my strength goal). Decisions, decisions...
Would Yoga count as strength, you think?0 -
I haven't added up my numbers yet, but I'm doing great with cardio. I did a 5 mile walk Sunday at a good pace, and I've run every day this week except today. I'll have to check my strength, but I think I've hit it. I've been doing 10 minutes most nights with dumbbells, and a few sessions of squats. I'm thinking I'll log my eliptical time as strength because I set the highest incline and my legs were burning bad far before I hit much of an increased heart rate. I plan to do my character challenge tonight.0

So far I am at 70 mins Cardio & 16 mins Stength. I will see what I can work in at lunch. After seeing all you guys do a great job I almost feel like I'm slacking or cutting myself short when I only reach the goals. But I do feel better and I'm slowly seeing results. Between work and school/study I do try to find as much time to get whatever workout I can squeezed in. But seeing all your posts really helps me to stay motivated.0

I'll have some cardio and strength minutes left over if anyone needs them. Seriously thinking about counting the 'event' we had this morning as cardio too. My daughter couldn't find her show shirt for band this morning. I offered to look in her closet while she finished getting ready for early am rehearsal. Sweet heavens, it was a disaster! I broke a sweat just digging out crap piled and crammed in every inch of space. No shirt to be found, her expected punishment - 1 demerit (4 laps around the track). I'm thinking she'll also have to spend sometime this weekend cleaning her room!0

Thats why I love these groups and sign up for challenges. It is a great motivational tool. I have only been doing any sort of exercise since May, but I haven't even attempted any strength until last week. Its really motivated me to get outside my cardio only box.0 -

I totally agree with this. I signed up on MFP in August...up until that point I was a total couch potato. Once I started MFP I started walking a lot on a treadmill so I was getting a lot of cardio, but had never even attempted strength training until I joined this group! So it has definitely motivated me to try new things as well!
Everyone is doing well this week! Now that we have dropped the zombies I know we can win this!!!
I have completed my character challenge. I have 57 min of strength and 207 min of cardio. Hoping to get some more cardio in today because my weekend is jam packed with activities! Keep up the good work team! Let me know if you need minutes!

Well I didn't think about the fact that I am leaving for a road trip tomorrow, and I still have 40 minutes strength and the Beth video to do. It'll be the first thing I do tonight, and I will report! (Hopefully my computer works...)0

I am totally knocking out this cardio, no problem, but my strength is well to say the least, slacking! I still have to do my videos so it looks like tomorrow will be full of strength workouts!0

Hey everyone! So happy to see all these enthusiastic teammates. This challenge is so awesome for motivation.
I am done with all my goals. I did the punishment twice and the Team Michonne challenge three times, plus some abs work. I am right at 45 minutes for the strength.
I have 30 extra minutes of cardio, and I'm going on a 3-hour hike with my son's cub scout troop tomorrow, so I'll have plenty of extra cardio if someone needs to borrow some.
Keep up the great work guys and gals! Can't wait for Sunday evening. :-)0 -
punishment done0

A little annoyed that cleaning took so long today... Just physically exhausted today so I couldn't workout. The good thing is camping season is over so not leaving weekends anymore until April. Now I can double up on Fridays:)
Here's a thought, isn't cleaning exercise??? I know when I deep clean, I'm sore and sweaty afterwords.0 -

My cleaning is and sometimes I count it lol anything with my 3year old I consider a workout but I try to still get in some heart pumping moving and I forgot to wear my HR monitor it makes clean harder and faster
