beast mode love it or what about child please? do any of you watch THE LEAGUE on FX? omg i don't play fantasy football but i can't get enough of that show.
i have a question about strength training/interval training i know you're not suppposed to work the same muscle groups on back to back days but say if i do an interval training dvd and use light weights like 3# then the next day go to the gym and use the machines...is that too little time for my muscles to recover? just asking because i'm struggling to get strength training in.
50 crunches this morning on my medicine ball and i didn't roll off!0 -

i agree with the jumping jacks/sit ups challenge. we could also do like total minutes excerised or miles jogged/walked/ran0 -
Just did 10min ab workout. I'm pretty sure I did my sit ups. Kinda hard to do jumping jacks in the third floor of my apartment building.0

How's everybody doing?! I ate terribly last night and today, but at least I'm working out!! I just ran about 4 miles and I did my situps yesterday and today! I'm struggling with the water thing, but I've managed to just barely make it everyday. Has anyone ever done Kinect Dance?! OMG It's sooo fun! My mom and I danced for like 2 hours yesterday!! It was awesome!0

3) 2 x tennis work out with ball machine
Gridiron Girls goal: how about everyone tries one new exercise/class/sport this week?
Bears goals: hold Atlanta to less than 20 points0 -
just checking in!
goal #1) this week i've been really good about stretching after working out. usually i just wipe off the elliptical and head straight for the lock room because i hate my butt sticking up in the air when i stretch. but i've found spots near the wall so i'm less self conscience and do my stretching. i try to do at least 10 minutes of stretching- legs and arms. it's really making a difference since my calves aren't so tight but does anyone have any suggestions on stretching out your back and the hamstrings without laying on the floor?
goal #2) so far i've only got in 1 session of weight training this week but i'm planning on doing weights tonight and sunday so i'll make my weekly goal.
how is everyone else doing?0 -
I like the 50 sit ups and the 10 glass water challenge!0

The new type of exercise for the GridIron Girls sounds good to me:)0

My old gym had these great stations for stretching your back - you can use them to stretch or do "back sit-ups". At home, we have an inversion thing that is similar except you end up even more upside down. Both are great for decompressing your spine, esp. after running, but I guess they both require you to sort of put your butt in the air...... Hammies you can stretch standing up, just stand a few feet away from the wall and lean forward.0 -
OK now I feel like I can post. I had actually gained a pound when I weighed in and I was upset. Two days later I weighed again and I was back to what I wanted my goal to be for the week. But it makes sense because I had some sodium the day before. I wont do that again. So for this week...
weight goal 1.5 lbs (Get under 140)
exercise goal burn 300 calories on one treadmill run lasting 30 minutes. (this is hard for me. i just started jogging on the treadmill
try to get more sleep. I started teaching again and I have to be in school around 630.0 -
Alright Gridiron girls!!! Our group goal is to all try one new exercise/ sport this week!! I'll have the stats up from next week tomorrow!! Everybody keep pressing on! 0
-
Sorry I didn't check in! But I did meet most of my goals (lost >1.5 lbs, 50 crunches, new strength exercises) except the water (ugh). This week our goal is to try a new exercise - I just did Jillian Michael's 30 Day Shred for the 1st time! Ugh I'm beat! (In a good way)
Personal goal this week - 8 glasses water/day
Team goal: done!!
Football goal: Chicago Bears keep Saints to less than 100 rushing yards (!)0 -
update of last week's goals:
1) strength training 3x - ONLY DID STRENGTH TRAINING 1X LAST WEEK
2) stretch after working out - ACCOMPLISHED
i did lose 0.2 lbs.
goals for this week:
1) eat a serving of veggies and/or fruit with every meal
2) running outside 2x this week (i have to get over my love of the ellitpical)
3) 3 sets of push ups and crunches per day
@ rebecca what kind of inversion thing do you have? i think i might just invest in one.0 -
@ rebecca what kind of inversion thing do you have? i think i might just invest in one.
My husband got it because he has chronic back issues and this helps a lot. We used to have these inversion boot things with a high bar you hang in a doorway, but that hurts your knees & ankles after a while and it's hard to swing yourself up. This is no strain on anything - I love to use it at the end of my workout or just before bed (if my back is hurting). It does take up some floor space, so have a place where it can go!
