Hi Everybody,
The goal is to get in 360 minutes of sweaty, heart pumping cardio every week!! You can mix it up however you want to so that it fits into your schedule. Choose whatever exercise works for you ~ all are welcome here!! The point is to move our bodies more in May so lets pump it up!!!!
Plan on either latin dance or a walk/jog when I get home from work!
Hope to hear from everybody!!

I'm in. I think I can do it. I'm doing 1 hour of Zumba tonight. I wanted to modify my workout plan this month anyway. I'm doing just cardio. No strength training. My scale hasn't moved this month and I'm hoping this will make a difference.0
-
OK, I found it...
I couldn't work out today...I worked a 12 hour shift and died when I got home
So, tomorrow already signed up for a class at the gym...have to squeeze in something as we are having an egress window put in and a new furnace, hot water tank and air conditioner...I hate having to be home all day.
Good luck everyone,

Hi all, have lots of house renovating going on today (major renovating) and I worked yesterday (12 hours). I can totally make up for it the rest of the week. I am excited about who is the winner for the month. Winner can pick the next challenge. What torture can it be...hopefully, not the 30 day shred, he, he0

Okay, So last night was a total bust : got home, loved and fed the 4 dogs, took out trash, cooked dinner, got coffee and vitamens ready for this morning and by now 730p. Popped the samba reggae dvd in and it wasn't working - infact NONE of my dvds were reading!! Yes, it's an old dvd player but bad time to conk out, right? So I'm all in my w/o gear and so I start jumping up and down - trying to get my heart rate up and it's just not working... at all.:grumble: I was mixing like every w/o i use and could never quite land. I did 25 min but only burned 97 cals - talk about defocused!! I ended up at Wally World and got a cheap dvd player - Which I used this morning.!!
So far 20 min cardio boot camp in -for 147 cals!
I am def going for a walk/jog when I get home ~ hope you all are having a fantastic day!!

Thanks for the welcome. I'm looking forward to getting to know everyone too!
Bummer that your DVD conked out - but hilarious you ended up going to get one the very same night. For those of you who don't know yet, Janet doesn't fool around!
Thanks to this challenge - I think I'm back on board after a few days of sluggishness. I went for a run /walk this afternoon. 47 minute jog, 11 minute walk - HRM says I torched 608. Felt good to get moving again.
Kim - I like the idea of the winner picking the next challenge. That's motivating.... I keep plotting what evil torture we can follow up with in June..:laugh:0 -
Thank you for your welcome and encouragement.... Today I did the elliptical for 30 and did strength training for 30 minutes.0
-
Can I join in?!! I could be doing a lot of cardio for the rest of the week though as I only did 35 minutes yesterday and none today!
Kim S.0 -
Thanks for the welcome! And the challenge. Its great!
I did 29 mins of Run (and a little walking) outside in the insane MIAMI HEAT! So total for the week so far: 104 mins0 -
Hi Peeps,
Welcome Kim S. -of course you're welcome; glad you're here!!
Warrior Kim -Love the idea of winner pick the next challenge - the shred .... you're just brutal!! :laugh:
Smiles - look who's talkin' - you don't play either girl with your smokin' 600+ cals !! Outstanding!!
Uconn- great job on the 29 min run in the HEAT!! I'm impressed!!
As for me, I walked/jogged 3miles after work 40 min Yea !! and topped it off with 15 min of jump rope and jumping jax for a 300 cal burn - that make 487 cals for me today!
Hope all had a great day and will be checking in tommorrow!!

I am also in. I already do 50 minutes of cardio. I do both the elliptical and the treadmill (walk/run) at an incline. I usually burn 500-600 calories on cardio alone each workout. I try to work out 5 days a week.....no less than 4.0
