What's your workout today?

Before work I did the elliptical for 60 minutes and strength traiing on my legs and abs and later tongiht I'll be takling a cardio class at the gym!

Tonight I'm warming up with 5 minutes of light jumping rope, followed by some arm workouts with resistance bands and 8-10 lb dumbbells, followed by some plie squats, hip raises, leg raises, thigh raises, Self's 8 Minutes to Slim, then a 30 minute walk outside.

Elliptical and/or Swimming (depending on the weather). :glasses:

3 mile run this morning..

90 minutes of weight training this afternoon shoulders and biceps

45 min of boxing and swimming tonight..

5.5 mile run + 1 mile walk on incline

I did the run part of this treadmill workout I found on this website http://carrotsncake.com/2008/02/45-minute-treadmill-workout.html I had to lower it down a few times because I am not in the best running shape and the thing is all hills. But I burnt 550 cals in 45 minutes. There is a walking option too. I felt good after that

I have been all over the place lately, mixing it up. Was doing the Shred but it started to bother my knees ... so now I just do what strikes me. Last night I did 30 minutes of boxing and 25 minutes of kettlebell (The Firm workout). Got some Ace braces for my knees so may get back on the Shred now. Checking out a Zumba class next week!

Sorry, I guess you only asked about today ... :embarassed: :laugh:

GROUP FITNESS!!! I am going to step today :-)

>> Warm up of either ride/row/jog/skip for 5-10 minutes,
>> Stretch

3x15 pushup with hands on Med Ball
3x30 Feetup crunch, feet on Swiss Ball
3x10 Tuck to Pushup, feet on Med Ball (feet are on medball in push up position, first do a push up, then drag ball in towards you with feet until knees are in chest).
3x20 reverse crunch with med ball between knees. (lie on back with feet on ground and knees bent, hold a med ball between your knees and lift into your chest)
3x20 Bicep curls
3x20 Hip Rasies, (lie on back, legs straight up in air and hold swiss ball between feet, lift hips off ground by pushing feet up)
3x30 Reciprocal bicep curl (15 each arm)
3x20 Alternating bridge/plank (support yourself on forearms and toes so you're prallel to ground, then lift/reach opposite hand and foot off ground, 10 each "side")
3x15 Stiff Arm Lat Pulldown (bend over at waist, withstraight arms, hold a cable/elastic cord out in front of you, then pull down towards sides).
3x10 "walk outs". Lie face down on swiss ball .. basically on your stomach/chest. Then, walk hands out until only your feet/shins are on ball (so you're in a push up position, so if you're feeling strong, do a push up), then walk hands back to start position.
NOTE: Rest 60 seconds between sets, no/dynamic rest between exercises. Typically takes me about 40 minutes (70-80minutes with stretches/warmup).

>> 10 minutes of stretching

Well since it's Thursday I did weight training. But of course I must have a warm up before I lift weights so I did HIIT on the treadmill for 12 minutes. (walk 2 mins, run 1 min, walk 2 mins, run 1 min, etc)

After I burned THOSE 200 calories I moved over to the weight portion of my work out.


Dumbbell Row, One-Arm, Bent-Over 2x 8x 30
Bench Press, Barbell 3x 8x 55
Seated Biceps Curl 3x 8x 20
Triceps Extension 1x 20x 12
Overhead Press, Barbell 3x 8x 45


28 minutes later I burned 500 calories doing that. Equalling 700 calories burned total for this mornings work out. Whew...got tired just typing that.

My workout today was Chalene Extreme. I am in my week one day 4 with Burn Intervals & Ab Burner. This is a good series but not near as tough as Insanity (which I have done twice with a series of P90X in between). What ever you do , give it your ALL!

Richard Simmons - Sweatin' to the oldies disc one! ITS SO MUCH FUN!

Yesterday was Zumba (45 min...whew!) and then a 60 minute walk with the hubby and pup.

Today will be another 60 minute walk with the hubby and pup, then packing up hubby, myself, AND pup for separate weekend excursions: me helping a friend move and attending a wedding in Dallas, hubby on a bachelor weekend in *ahem* las vegas, and pup staying "at a friend's house" all weekend.

Hopefully the moving boxes and booze dancing at the wedding will cancel out all the booze. :-)

NOTE: For those who want to try Zumba, see if an independent instructor in your area offers a "1st class free" to see if you like it. It's really fun, especially if you like to dance to begin with or "get" doing exercise to an 8 count. Or see if you can try one month of classes for a discounted rate. It might not be for everyone, but I think it's great!

Played an hour of tennis, did some push ups, crunches and lunges, and have a soccer practice later tonight
