Hope I am not stepping on toes by creating a new topic but thought this would be a good place to post our daily workouts??

Today I will be doing Week 4, Day 4 of Jillian Michaels Ripped in 30. I usually warm up with a little stationary bike. I will also do my daily dog walk which is about 1.2 miles.
Going to try and get back into doing daily planks too, not sure how many or how long, but starting with a 30 second hold and going from there.

    Today is a run/swim day for me. I am on W3D1 of C25K, and I will complete that and then jump in the pool for some laps. I usually spend anywhere from 15 to 25 minutes in the pool, depending on how I'm feeling.

    Today I have to do my pushup challenge, 2 walks during the work day, 60 squats, my 200 leg lifts from yesterday and my normal gym work out can't decide if I want to do strength or cardio today.

    Another goal for myself is to make an effort to sit up straight. I sit at a desk all day and I noticed in pictures from a wedding this past weekend that I stoop. So that has got to stop!!!

    Psh! There's no stepping on toes in this group! Feel free to start any discussions you wish!

    With regards to today's workout, today is a non-run day for me because I'm doing legs/plyometrics at the gym. I like to make sure that my legs are well rested before I put them through the pain of squats, lunges, burpees, deadlifts etc hehe.

    What's on everyone else's workout schedule?!?

    Odd day for me. It's my last day with my trainer (I think) and it's in our deload week. I have no idea what they've got planned for me, except it will probably revolve around a medicine ball and body weight work.

    I like to switch things up depending on what I'm feeling up for. This morning I did a Pilates full body work out at a beginner's level. It was a good workout, but later on today I plan on making it to the gym to get in some cardio on the elliptical. I have a 6 month old lab and we sometimes go on long walks when the weather is nice. I just try to switch it up and stay interested in what I am doing! Same with foods (:

    P.S.- I could use some good, healthy recipes to try out ^^

    Today is my rest day from GFit (http://gfitwomen.com/), but I will be walking 20 mins at lunch and stretching out my sooooore muscles this evening.

    Tracking my exercise on MFP is hard because of what I do... does anyone have recommendations for a heart monitor or something to track calories burned during my workouts? :smile:

    I'm bad at posture too! This is a great idea.

    Today is day one of my squat challenge which I will do while chasing the kiddo around this evening. I have to do 50 of those (yikes). It's also my cardio day so I started out with 30 minutes on the Stairmaster at 5 am and will take a 20 minute walk during my lunch break. I'm pretty pumped about my workout this morning because I am already doing intervals up in the next level. Three weeks ago when I stepped on that thing after a year off I thought 20 minutes on the lowest level was really hard.

    Me too! I sit all day for work (medical transcription). I find myself slouching constantly!

    I did my morning run before class today and was able to push myself a little further than usual (YES!), and I'll be joining one of my girls later for some bikram yoga

    Today's workout - walk the dog (30-min), run (4.7 miles; 9 min-mile) and yoga. Beautiful day to be outside and I took advantage of it!

    Adding to my day: starting the May Squat challenge. Going to TRY due to knees acting up to get day one done with half or quarter squats.

    Tomorrow is a POOL DAY!!! I'll update when I get back from that.

    I generally just run everyday but I am trying to start working in ab and strength building exercises. I was gone all day so my run was short.

    A 3 mile run. I really need to switch up my workouts more, and I'm planning to work on that this month, but I didn't have time to plan ahead for today, so I'm just sticking with what I know for now.

    I love it! It's so good for your posture and just stretching out your muscles. Plus it leaves you with a great cleansing feeling because you literally sweat out all the toxins! It's great for all the end of the semester stress =)

    Today is a run day for me.... Week 6 Day 2 of C25K... Since I have to go into the office for a bit (normally work at home), I am going to go run by the Susquehanna River! It will be a beautiful day.. Will be throwing in some planks today too and maybe some stretching!
