Fantastic on making lemonade Amber!!

I only became a member a a gym a month and a half ago! Before that I did it all at home! Do you have stairs anywhere close by? You could use stairs to run up and down or you could use one stair and do stair steps! Go up with the right foot, up with the left foot, down with the right foot, down with the left foot, and do it again and again changing your speed every few minutes! Every so often change which foot steps up first. While walking, stop, and do 10 jumping jacks, walk some more! Do this the entire walk and you are adding more cardio.

For strength, take 2 soup cans and do nice even square while curling the soup cans at the same time. Use something heavy to lift above your head, the straight in front of you, then straight down while you squat. You can do these kinds of things while watching TV. Stand with your feet together, do a half squat leaning back on your heels of your feet. Take your right leg and go out to the side with it and back together then do the same with your left. Do several reps of this. Hold onto something heavy and take your
right leg back into a lunge and then bring it up so you lift your knee in front of you! Do several reps with that leg and do the same
on the left side!

That is just a few things that I can offer you.

Good morning all!

I am at 235 minutes mostly cardio and 2261 calories/week according to MFP. Only 22 glasses of water this week. I need to get back on that. 6/day seems to be my easy limit. After that I really have to think about it to get it in.

I need to get my strength in yet this week. I wanted to do it this am at the gym but got a late start and so opted to knock out cardio instead. Sounds like everyone is really doing a great job.

Blessings on your day,
Michele

Holy Cow you all went into week 2 strong! Wow to all of you, just wow, great job! Sorry to just be getting on and getting things posted but I have been without internet for the last 7ish hours! Felt like life was over that I could NOT get on here and post my exercise or food. Phew, almost had a nervous break down over it, LOL, but we got it all back up and working and I am here getting it all documented.

Here are my Monday results: I have to say it was a beautiful day in Minot, ND for the first time in a LONG, LONG time and I really didn't want to be inside, so I did a lot today.

60 minute brisk walk with my dogs burned, per my HRM, 628 calories
32 minutes bike ride burned, per my HRM, 645 calories
12 minutes circuit machines strength training burned, per my HRM, 132 calories
45 minute kettlebell class burned, per my HRM, 755 calories

17 glasses of water in today

Looks like you are really pushing yourselves again this week. Great job so far, everyone!

Here is my totals for today, day 2

60 minutes walk/run intervals burned, per my HRM, 760 calories
30 minute bike ride burned, per my HRM, 513 calories
30 minutes on the Elliptical burned, per my HRM, 615 calories
11 minutes of circuit strength training burned, per my HRM, 138 calories

So I have done 257 minutes of cardio and 23 minutes of strength training for the week, so far

Today I have 18 glasses of water in and am sure a couple more before bed

Here is my day three results:

35 minutes of walking burned, per my HRM, 336 calories
45 minutes of circuit training with a trainer burned, per my HRM, 738 calories (this was half cardio and half strength)

So, I have done 280 minutes of cardio, 45 minutes of strength, and 35 minutes of other

So far I have 9 glasses of water in but it is only 12:30pm so I will get another 9, or so, in

HOW WE ALL DOIN????????? :happy:

Here is my day 4, week 2 results:

58 minutes of walk/run intervals burned, per my HRM, 722 calories
30 minutes of Roller Skating burned, per my HRM, 446 calories
15 minutes of Circuit Strength Training burned, per my HRM, 160 calories
42 minute Kettlebell class burned, per my HRM, 617 calories

I have 18 glass of water drank today, but will get at least one more as I am parched.

So, I have done 420 minutes of cardio, 60 minutes of strength, and 35 minutes of other

How is everyone else doing with 3 days left in this week 2?

Kind of took it easy today....I've had 6 knee/ankle surgeries due to sports injuries and some days my knees could provide the sound effects for Rice Krispies and today was one of those days. So I got the time in but backed off on the intensity quite a bit.

30 minutes elliptical
30 minutes walking
45 minutes circuit training

8 glasses of water

Thanks for all the words of encouragement, Tracie!

I have really bad knees too and we do a lot of squats & lunges in kettle bell class. I got these knee brace things at walmart. They are about an inch thick and they have a really thick portions in the middle of them. You wrap it around your knee and put the thick portion around the area that hurts. I find they really help lesson the pain. If I forge them, as I did tonight, I am usually in real pain.

Good job though! You got something done and you are only 35 minutes away from your minutes goal.

Good evening!

Progress thus far ...

Monday: 25 minutes elliptical + 10 minutes strength training = 30 minutes
Tuesday: 30 minutes Yoga X
Wednesday: REST
Thursday: 52 minutes 4 mile run

Im not going to get my strength training minutes in this week because its recovery week for P90X and its race week. But I will meet the 3500 calories I think

Well, farming today wasn't as intense on my body as last week, but I definitely sweated it in the green house.

60 minutes as a farm hand = 155 minutes. Oy, I am so behind!

Not counting calories this week, but I burned "600 calories" today. I really need my HRM fixed, pronto!

I don't know if you see my status, Tracie, but I wasn't able to get on here to log everything last night. I'll update yesterday's results later on today, and then today's also.

I don't know if you see my status, Tracie, but I wasn't able to get on here to log everything last night. I'll update yesterday's results later on today, and then today's also.

I did and that is okay. Hope the storms passed with no problems. I woke up to a inch of snow, this morning, when it was finally all gone. Effecting my mood big time!
