    Hitting the gym for the first time since signing up 4 days ago, now that work and family life is back to normal! Feels good to be back doing something for a bit of stress relief lol.

    Hello :flowerforyou:

    Today for me was 45mins on the crosstrainer and 10mins on the rower. I joined the gym 2weeks ago and I love love love it!
    I'm from little old New Zealand so my posting time will be very different to you guys.

    Good luck everyone!

    Got up early and Did W7 D1 of Couch to 5k - I got distracted and forgot to turn around halfway through, so I ended up walking 2.5 miles back to the house as well. Total time = 70 minutes!

    Oh man I'm poofed now..
    30 mins of salsacise before breakfats,
    another 30 mins of Rosemary Conley brand New You Workout
    & Just completed Day 8 of the 30DS

    I really want to do the Couch to 5K, I think I need to be more confident for that. How are you finding it?

    If you can do 30DS, Couch to 5k will be a piece of cake! You ease into the running so slowly that you won't be sore at all until about week 6 or so. I would rather do Cto5k any day than have Jillian kicking my tail!
  • So far today, I did 10 minutes of dance cardio. 20 minutes of kick boxing ondemand... followed by a walk this evening..

    Today I did 30 mins on the elliptical and 30 mins of strength training with resistance bands could not even complete 2 sets and these the light weight ones! At least it is a beginning and my strength should improve by the end of the month. I am committed to work out everyday.

    I went walking for a half hour. Definitely a humble start, but I will make it a point to build on this.

    I got stuck in the house babysitting my grandbaby. I did do much house work which included going up and down the stairs for over 90 minutes. Chasing around a 1 year old should count for something. :bigsmile:

    So far today I have walked for 24 minutes around the lot (lease apartments on the weekend). Hope to get a better walk in later today since it is finally decent weather.

    I am filling this in after the fact
    I exercised at least 30 minutes every day this week.
    30 min or more walking every day ( went on elliptical twice, and worked with weights once)
