6 week PUSH YOURSELF challenge, WEEK 4

Does running around my apartment in a flurry, because a bee got in somehow, count as exercise? I planned on doing some DVDs or going for a run before work, but then I spotted a fuzzy bee trying to sit on my couch. I freaked out (I am phobia-afraid of bees) and was in a panic for about 1.5 hours. I got him stuck between my door and the screen door, and he somehow managed to escape from where he got in (Thank goodness!)
So, unfortunately, no workout for me today! I can't help but say I am disappointed in myself a little, but my phobia took over and there is nothing stopping it sometimes.0 -
Happy Wednesday everyone!
I am so proud of myself today - I burned 705 calories in 65 minutes on the elliptical. . . I pushed the resistance to 7 for a couple minutes and went hard the whole time so i'm happy : ) Thats the most I've burned in that amount of time!

Not good at all! I am glad to hea the baby is okay and sorry to heat about your knee and ankle! Maybe tomorrow do something that won't require you to be on that ankle! You don't want to make it an worse! Good job though!0 -

My thighs are sore. I started a new workout on Tuesday and tomorrow's the last day of it. It's mainly leg work with a set of 2lbs dumbbells. Not a lot of weight, but I can't lift too much. You'd think I'd be able to, though, as young as I am lol. But yes, I'm sore too. I'm hoping it'll go away before I start a month's worth of new workouts on Sunday. Hope your ankle gets better soon!0 -

Well, no farming Thursday but I spent an hour in the gym! I ran for 33 minutes (new Couch to 5K interval!), did the stairmaster for 12, did some lifting and some stretching. I burned 550 calories!
Then I went for a run outside today, for about 43 minutes. Burned 416 calories. I am trying so hard to work toward my next 5K! The hills where I live kill me, though.

My HRM is still acting up. I might ask for a new one for my 2 year anniversary.0 -
Oh, I wanted to ask. We are going to New York City on Sunday, for two days. I obviously can't work out while I am there, because we have such minimal time, BUT we obviously will be walking EVERYWHERE.
Any suggestions on how I should factor this into my goals? Should I wear my heart rate monitor under my clothes?0 -
Vegan, I think wearing your HRM would definately be helpful. Have fun in NYC!0

It is a very fun class! Dance like zumba but instead of the instructor just doing the dance and you have to pick up on it she teaches a couple steps a a time, you do them several times, and then she teaches more and you put them all together and so on.Hip Hop Hustle sounds like a fun class, Tracie.0

HRM for sure! I did that when I was in Vegas, for two days, last year, and was amazed at the calorie burn from all the walking! If we would stop for a while I would pause my HRM and when we would get moving again I would restart it.Oh, I wanted to ask. We are going to New York City on Sunday, for two days.

That sounds way less complicated than Zumba. I have a hard time figuring out the footing sometimes. Then it seems like once I get it, we move on to a different step lol.It is a very fun class!

I'm also bringing my new Brita water bottle so I can get my water intake in! I usually have to use the bathroom a lot when I drink lots, but I hope walking all day will prevent that!
The Brita bottle filters the water right there in the bottle, so I can get free water.0 -
