I am in! I don't really like to schedule cause my schedule changes on me too much...but, I am doing two workouts per day five to six days per week starting today!
I swam half mile this morning and walked 2 miles this afternoon.
Do we enter our workouts on this board every day???
Everyone does just to kind of keep track of their workouts and also to show other people that they are still doing it.
) Do what you can and awesome workout today ) 0 -
Alright,I'll cut off my morning C25K run in the morning and limit it to 3 times a week,from next week onwards like I should be doing,I have been hitting it everyday since Monday but its only week 1 so its not too bad,its when the runs get longer I know it will get hard,and I already run on an incline aswell,thanks for the advice,yeah cardio before weights does make sense!
Oh and yeah if I feel,I will cut it to 3-4 times,it just depends on how much rest I get tonight,my neighbours are not the quietest lol,late night comedy show watching,although I love to hear laughter,I don't enjoy it when I'm tucked into bed soundly and its blasting away on the other side of the wall....[minirant] /;
Ah yeah I gotcha. yeah well you did really good this week.) 0 -

Hey All!
So I REALLY didn't want to get up today.... but I pushed myself out of bed. I walked out of my buliding at 5:59 to get the 6:00 am bus and realised I didn't have my purse, had to run back inside to grab it, came running out the door just as the bus was pulling up, then my backpack exploded, spilling my stuff in the middle of the road LOL. Thankfully the bus driver waited for me to grab my stuff, but I guess he had to since I was on the street blocking his way!
Then I got to the gym, opened up my backpack and realised I didn't bring my running shoes!!! We had a stupid snowstorm here in Toronto yesterday and so I was wearing my massive artic-style snow boots- no way I could exercise in them. I sat down and actually considered going to the office and sleeping at my desk for an hour. I ended up going to the front desk to see if there was any shoes in the lost and found that would fit me.... so I wore someone's lost shoes and had a decent workout!
LOL- I feel like it's been a long day already!

LOL thanks! Yeah it took a bit of courage to ask the girl at the desk but thankfully she is super-friendly and she said said ppl do that all the time
Still tho... not the most sanitary experience lmao.
I've been trying to get an overnight locker at the gym, but they only allow a certain number of them since there is limited space
Altho I'm number two on the waiting list yahoo! 0 -

Oh tha tis good. I am thinking about doing the same. I am lucky where I live the gym here has lots of space I just havnt asked to purchase one. By the time I am done working out Im running out of the gym to get to class or anything else I have to get to..My day is def full.
Its always nice to have friendly staff at the gym. It just helps put you in a better mood and makes your workouts that much better. Hopefully you do not feel rushed the whole day.0 -
Morning All,
Happy Pre-Friday and another day full of opportunity to honor ourselves and our commitments (despite whatever obstacles) I planned to get up at 4am and my dogs were even cooperating,lol, but i rolled over until 4:15. that may not sound like a big deal but in my world ever minute counts when I've got a 40 minute drive in to the office. I did Turbo Jam CP 2 - which was just awesome!! Got a 400 calorie but per the HRM. Got a long power- walk planned for after work. I did the tougher w/o in the morning because historically I am low energy by the time we get to Thurday night.
I am feeling better everyday and stronger too!! Thanks my friends
Sweet Sara J - You're my hero!! You had multiple reasons to say "oh, forget it!" But you didn't and that is such an inspiration to me!! WTG:drinker:
HLRoberts: Good to see your consistent positive attitude matches your consistency in working out!!! Keep it up!!
Make it an amazing day everyone; the choice is yours!

Wednesday 23rd – 8:30 AM C25k Week 1 (DONE) + Mid Jari Love 30 mins (DONE) + 3 – 4 PM 46 mins walk/jog intervals (DONE)
I would have successfully jogged/walked/sprinted 15 miles today,I don't think I've ever done this consistently so I'm really feeling it,especially on strength training/circuit days,hmm contemplating on whether to cut it down to 3-4 times a week instead of this 6,but will see,next week I'm hitting the weights a little harder,by adding weighted squats,I wonder if this will strenghen my legs to continue running or make them so jelly I have to run less,waiting to see...lol
Doing those will actually make you run stronger and more efficiently0 -
Ditto. But someone told me that Chalean Extreme has pretty great leg w/o hoping to look at some of the dvds over the weekend, time permitted.Got my bench work in last night and shoulders and arms this morning. Whew! I'm looking at Ab Ripper X tonight and maybe a little additioinal cardio.
i love ab ripper...its works so stinking good. I wish P90x would come out with a better leg workout though (upper leg) ;o)0 -
Thursday 3/24/11 - Got in two exercises this AM again. P90X arms and shoulders was my planned AM workout then I had to take my car in for service so I road my bike home which will replace my PM ride. Short ride but I averaged two mph faster than normal so that worked out. My wife just called and wants to do a "hill walk" together this evening so that will be something too. She is trying to ease back into exercise and I am walking with her to encourage her. Hope you are all doing well.0

That's great, it can take a lot of effort to get back into exercising if someone has been 'off' for a while, I'm sure having your encouragment helps a lot!0 -

Got P90X Kenpo in this morning. It's always a fun workout. My plans for an evening workout got derailed yesterday, however. I''ve got tennis tonight, so I'll have to find more time later this week to make it up. Everyone is doing great. Keep up the good work.0

Alright, so I have not been sticking to the two-a-day workouts. I need to establish a better schedule. Any suggestions?0

Hmm, Well first I would ask, what is your barrier? Is too hard to get up early, is the gym too far away, what reasons are you telling yourself for not doing it?0 -
Been good so far! Monday, Run and kickboxing. Tuesday, Yoga and weights. Wednesday, Bike ride and run. Today, circuit training class and a run, hopefully! Tomorrow will be my easy day, with only one workout, then Saturday is a run and a ride again. Good week!0
