bumping today's thread
Happy Hump Day!0 -
Good morning everyone!
I am up early this morning, working 8-5 today. After today I don't have any work booked, but I am sure that will change. Not sure if today will be a rest day or a run day. I guess it will depend on the weather when I get home around 5:30. Then again maybe I will do a RI30 workout. Might have to pick up a few groceries so will be later than 5:30 I guess.
Anyway, hope you all have a great day. I will read yesterdays posts later

Good morning!!!
Well today is supposed to be rest day, which I find so extremely hard! I am an addict when it comes to exercising!
Hope everyone has a wonderful day!

Thank you for the stretching advice on the previous thread. The truth is that I'm having all kinds of problems that are probably linked to how I sleep. (I changed the way I sleep back when I was pregnant--for obvious reasons--and over 2 years later, I'm still sleeping all doubled up on my right side.) My right knee, right hip, and right shoulder have been a mess, but I've been mostly working around it. But what sometimes happens with me is that when something's a little messed up, it spreads up and over (left foot spreads to right knee which spreads to left hip and so on), because I start to lean on the other side. I need to start by not sleeping hunched over and I definitely need to do some serious stretching and some routines to increase flexibility. I might as well get started on that. What good is strength and toning, if I feel stiff and cramped, right?
Soooo, today, I skipped a morning workout, to get a few home chores done. So, at the park, I decided to run again. This time I was determined to do better than last. I went 3 laps, running (if you can call it that--I was sooo slow!! lol) without stopping for 23 minutes. I made myself a promise that I wouldn't stop on the hill. I realized that if I stick to that one rule, I will always be able to add more distance or time, because once I crest the hill, I can go all the way back around again because it's all flat or downhill. Anyway, I wasn't properly hydrated so I definitely had to stop to get water, because I could feel my ankles nearly bursting through my shoes Incredible Hulk style! hahaha!! I never did start back running (sloshing) after the water but was pretty proud of myself for only a 2nd time out. Then, walked slowly/leisurely for an hour and did a nice long 15minute cooldown stretch.
That's it. If i can get in a nice stretching/flexibility routine tonight, I will. But I'm actually pretty happy with what I did today.
Hope everyone else is working out (or resting--equally as important
.ehem.jessmart. lol) and feeling proud of yourselves!! You should feel proud of what you are doing for yourself!!
Oh, Maureli...I vote RI30!! Do I get a vote? haha!0 -
Today I did fitness blender's "Fit is better than Skinny" mostly because I agree with that statement. It was okay... probably wont leave that one in the weekly rotation though. i liked yesterdays hiit cardio and abs workout better. i sweat much more in that one, versus todwy's and todays was 37 minutes, rather than 30?!?
I wIll do an ab workout later, and get three rounds of push-ups in, when hubby is home from work!
Have a fit and healthy day everyone!0 -
Today was supposed to be a run, but it's getting pushed back to tomorrow morning. My goal is to get to 30 min of mini workouts during my workday so that my breaks are actually productive. I will do 10 min total (already did 5) of situps, pushups, planks etc. and 20 min total of walking. I take small breaks during the day anyways, so this is my attempt at getting the most out of them. I know it's not much, but I need to keep the momentum going. I travel next week for work, so I really have to be disciplined this week. Have a great day everyone!0

Good Day Wednesday Partners!
I mixed up the day of the week thinking it was Thursday...lol...and did cardio P90X Kickboxing instead of strength training P90X Back & Biceps. It was a 58 minute session and it felt great to punch & kick at a few things...lol. This is one of my favorite cardio workouts.
Maureli: have a good day and hope you get to run this evening.
Sherry: good job on running today and enjoy a great total body stretch to prevent stiffness and tightness. I like Debbie Sieber's Slim & Limber and the P90X X-Stretch (particularly for my lower body).
Tara: like you, there are some workouts that I like better than others and use them a little less in my rotation. Having many choices does make it nice. You have a fit & healthy day as well!
Ctpeace: What you are doing is really great...breaking up your fitness in small segments. Get it in how best it fits!!
Have a wonderful Wednesday everyone!0 -
I am at work and bumping...I am not feeling my best and not qute sure what or why. I will proably still tackle my P90x workout this evening because my weekend is is jammed packed and won't allow for a workout on sat. so I have to plan my rest day this week instead of just taking one. :frown: ( dinner plans on sat.)
I will check back in this evening0 -
got in an hour of snow shoveling! Yee Haw!0

So I am just going to jump in!
I have been camping the last few days so i didn't get in formal exercise. But i did get in some activity. My hubby and i just joined a gym so we are going to workout tomorrow when we get back in town.
Mycrazy8: snow in april. I guess that is not that uncommon. Call me crazy but I like snoveling show. However, we usually don't get a whole lot of snow at once where i am at. That would be different if we did.
Ctpeace: i like your workout strategy. I wonder if i would do it more if i broke it into smaller chunks.
Glad to be a part of this group!

Today was another cold, rainy day. I don't mind running in the cold or a light sprinkle, but cold and wet I just can't do. I'm really hoping to do my run tomorrow. Looking forward to it. I had bible study after work and cooking dinner, so now I am getting ready to do some power or vinyasa flow yoga and go to sleep. Good job everybody!0

Hello Everyone, oh how i have missed u all. Work has been busy. Ok, i have good news and bad news.
Bad news: i didn't workout yesterday. i joined the gym at work so i could workout during my lunch hour. But i got to the gym and my card had not been 'equipped' to get access into the gym so thats how that went.
Another bad news: my eating hasn't been the best. Its not as bad as the weekend but not as clean as last week ;(
Ok good news: i worked out today. I ran 2miles in 27mins. ok i jogged 2miles in 27mins then got back to work.
Sherry: i wish i had a remedy for body aches. all i could think of was soaking in Epsom Salt i know it helps with muscle aches but am not sure if it applies to yours.
Pam: I love the hair style in your new profile pic
Sam: What is this 300 abdominal exercises?
mycrazy8s: thats another reason why am glad i moved from the Midwest. whew! And not to mention its spring.
Ashley: is it camping season yet lol
Toni: i hope your saturdat dinner plan doesn't spill over to Monday like mine did. altho am starting to feel my eating clean mojo coming on.
Good night everyone. its almost friday!0 -
Steadybutsure: Yeah lol. When you have a camper with propane it is! My bro in law works in a school and so do i and it is our spring break. Wish it was about 15-20 degrees warmer though!0

Sam: What is this 300 abdominal exercises?
Hey! Its nothing special, I joined a go up where every second day throughout April we do a designated three hundred core exercised, so today was Russian twists, sit up, bicycle crunches, plank, and flutter kick, an it changes each time.
If anyone wants to join I will post the link to the group on here!!
But I'm off to sleep, nighty night everyone!!0 -
