Got back on the fitness wagon this week. Looking to lose 90-100 pounds. Not a fan of the cold but enjoy being outside so I guess I'll have to find something interesting to do this winter,

its been pretty decent...so we are lucky. but it is tough to get out from under blankets!
What is your idea of a good workout?0 -
I've been spending a lot of time at the Y lately.0

Hi Everyone! I'm happy to see there's a Rochester group! This is my 11th day of tracking and now I'm looking for some people to be friends with and have a bit more of a community on here.
I got in a great 1.5 hour romp on snowshoes in Mendon Ponds Park last Sunday. The cold isn't my favorite, but I'll still go out and play in it.0 -
I don't know why I didn't look for a Rochester group sooner!
I hate the cold, and when we got all that snow last weekend, I had to work so I couldn't even dust off my snow shoes!
Most of my workouts happen at the RAC.0 -
Holy cow.... Go for the Rochester Group.... Man we're small lol0
-
Which RAC do you go to? I do Tues. and Thursday night pilates classes at Henrietta and Pittsford, respectively, with Susan because she rocks. I lift at the Greece Ridge mall location on my non- pilates 3rd gym day of the week. I guess I'm getting my money worth out of the gym.
And yeah, high 5 Rochester! Small, but mighty!0 -
I go between Greece Ridge (women's not the mall) and Pittsford. I did spinning at Pittsford tonight, first time using the new bikes. I mostly do step and spinning, and there's a power body fusion class that is surprisingly great!0

Hi just joined the group! Not very active in here tho...we need to change that!
Just started the C25K program, need to sign up for a 5K in the area to keep a goal in sight. Doing it on the treadmill now tho...will start running outdoors maybe April! LOL!0 -
Didn't think there'd be a discussion group for Rochester. I used to go to RAC years ago... but I stopped. >_<0
-
I was trying to do C25K but truth be told-I really hate running. I try to make myself like it cause I know it's a good workout, but the dread factor is pretty high for me! Plus I use treadmills (my neighborhood is not safe for running), and getting it to speed up for 90 seconds to run then slow back down, the controls seem to be touchy. Or maybe that's my excuse because it involves running.0

LOL! I hear you! My motto always was, "I will take up jogging when I see someone smiling while jogging." Well, I started noticing people out running more and more and figured, what the heck!I was trying to do C25K but truth be told-I really hate running.

The buttons seem to work fine on the treadmill I use. I downloaded the Couch to 5K app on my phone and it makes it so much easier to track when you need to run and walk. I couldn't do it without it!0 -
I'm so envious of people who can run. My knees will just not have any of it. I'm an avid backpacker, though, so I trade running for walking long distances for consecutive days with a 25-30lb backpack on.
Still wish I could run...0 -
I never thought I was a runner, but I eased myself into it...and trying out Vibrams didn't hurt either!
I have a feeling I've seen a couple of you girls at the RAC in Pittsford...I'm there almost everyday after work. I do the Tuesday night spin class with Erin and I LOVE pilates on Thursday with Susan.0 -
I thought you looked familiar! I'm pretty sure you were directly across from me in pilates last night in Susan's class. Feel free to say hello sometime! I'm Pam. I've been taking class with Susan for a couple years now... I'm still about as flexible as a log. 0
-
I'm in tuesday night step class with Michelle while you're in spin. After Michelle goes on maternity leave I may join the spin class, sub step teachers don't always work out so well...0
-
I've been flirting with the idea of trying out a spinning class, but I worry that my knees won't be able to take it.0

My church hosts two separate marathons at different times of the year; the 10K Race with Grace is on Thanksgiving Day, and I believe the Hospice Run is a 5K, but I don't know when in the year it is. I do believe that both of them are official qualifiers for other marathons, as well.

Pam, if you try the Tuesday 6pm class with Erin, she's really supportive about those with injuries. The journey is completely yours, so you don't have to have a high intensity gear set if it hurts your knees. She can also give you pointers on how to lower the impact.
I'll definitely have to say hi the next time I see you in pilates! I'll be back next Thursday 0 -
I go the the RAC too! LOL that is so funny:) I just tried spinning for the first time and I love it, but I have to find a good class. Zumba tomorrow night!! I've never taken this one and it always looks so packed, so we shall see 0
-
Which spin class did you try? You look familiar... 0
-
I might have to look into that Tuesday night spinning class.... but then I'd have to choose between spinning and Susan. I'll pretty much always pick Susah. haha
One day, though.... might have to cave and try spinning.
We ladies should have a gym date sometime soon and meet up! It'd be cool to put faces and real people with names!0 -
I'm going to spinning tonight, but at Greece women's with Lisa. If I'm going to the gym straight from work, I got to Pittsford, they have those new bikes which are nice! Except that they show how long you've been on so I watch that and mentally count down until class is over.
I haven't been able to try Zumba yet, I'm not a dancer, but I hear it's a good workout, and I always like the music I hear coming from the aerobics room!0 -
A gym date sounds great! I'm coming back from vacation at the end of this weekend, so I'm free any time after that.
I used to go to Zumba back when I was a member of the Ballys in Henrietta, but I got tired of it pretty quickly. I think it's because I'm used to choreographed dance and Zumba doesn't typically go through all the moves with you first...you just go along with it. Some people absolutely love it, though, so let me know what you think! 0 -
Hi everyone Im from Rochester! Just started c2 5k. Never been a runner.0
-
Welcome beaglenutty! I tried to do C25k, but once I got to the week where you had to run five minutes in a row, I gave up. I'm horrible at running....0
-
I've never done C25K, but isn't that close to week 6? You were so close! Don't give up! I used to hate running with a passion, but lately, I've been doing 2 miles as a warm-up before going to the gym. It gets easier 0
-
Its a 9 week program and Im only on day three. Not sure how I will do when I have to run more lol0
-
You might surprise yourself! In the past, I wouldn't be able to run more than a couple of minutes, but today, I ran for 50 minutes without stopping.
Yes, it was slow and I only went 3.8 miles in those 50 minutes, but it's a huge improvement!0 -
Question to the RAC members-have any of you ever taken a Cardio Fusion class and if so, what did you think? I'm always wanting to try new classes but I don't know if this one will be challenging?0
-
The only class I've ever taken is Pilates, because as a rule I really dislike classes. hehe. Good luck! 0
