21 day Challenge - JOIN IN

Day 3 - Legs too sore for the mountain climb so ran 10 minutes on treadmill & then fast pace walk with 3KG had weights for 20 minutes.

Day 4 - Mountain climb with work mates, slower paced than usual but still a good burn!

Looks like you've got a nice challenge set for yourself DanniDingo. Way to go in keeping it moving despite the sore muscles!

@ tazmac - isn't it funny how the drive to get the extra exercise makes such radical changes in our every day lives? Great work today!

@ etaylor - you got up and moved, that counts as a salvage! Keep on pushing, because you've got it going now! Keep up the hard work!

Round 3 day 4 (I think?)

Pool day!
400 m each of Breast stroke, back stroke, freestyle, butterfly
additional 400 m each of breast stroke and free style
Total time: 90 mins!
A little extra walking thrown in due to shadowing at a clinic tonight - 21 mins (According to HRM reports)

Going to feel the extra lengths tomorrow though!

Day 5 - 2.6 mile OUTDOOR (loving the warm weather) run yesterday evening
Day 6 - 3 miles on the elliptical this morning before work! Going to try to get something else in this evening if I get cut from my 2nd job early enough!

Hope everyone else is doing well & staying active!

@jezy - great days 5 and 6! Keep it going, you are pounding in some great foundation habits!

@ tazmac - Way to end round 2 on a strong note. When you have classes eating up most of the day, forcing some time in for exercise can be a bit tough, but you made it look easy. Keep it going, and great job!

Round 3, day 5 -
A big mish-mash of activities -
30 mins for finishing the laundry (the actual WORK part - the folding... ugh, where's my robot maid? I HATE folding laundry!)
60 mins - Cooking - on my feet for over an hour between mixing up and actually cooking the pancakes for future gran-n-go breakfasts.
minimum 20 mins playing with the kinect Zumba (I am still debating if I want to try the second beginner's class. If I do, that would be an additional 20 minutes)
minimum 45 mins doing calisthenics - another section worked through in assembling the at home body weight "circuit" that targets the joints I need to strengthen.
minimum 15 mins stretching - Again, work on bad joints, and I'm still looking up more stretches to help. If I find anything interesting, I'll try them to see how much time they take.
15 mins light cleaning - had the door open today, so all the dusting I did a couple days ago was ruined, not to mention I tripped over the half-case of paper I had sitting by it's normal storage space, so that got put away finally.

@ etaylor - I agree with tazmac, you are really moving and shaking things up! Keep up the great work.

@ tazmac - great start to your new round! Glad to see that I'm not the only one who gets creative at times to fit in a little extra exercise into a busy school schedule.

Round 3, day 6 - has it been that long already?

Saturdays are my nemisis for some reason. I planned on hitting the gym, and didn't get out of the house except to pay into my own scholarship fund. ::Grins:: Who could resist when the powerball lotto climbs that high?

6 mins walking - almost not worth reporting.
20 mins of zumba - I can tell it's been a while since I actually did a full routine. Yesterdays was just gong through the tutorials on some of the moves I'm not solid on to see if the knees would take it.
15 mins calisthenics - still working through the printouts. I've got 3 days settled now, but want to add a little more variety
15 mins stretching - same thing with these as the calisthenics.

Hopefully tomorrow I'll actually make the pool times at school. I miss the water already, and I've only been out of it for a couple of days!

Day 13 -- kind of a rest day. But I did do cleaning, laundry and cooking

well you got the jump on me ...... but I am in I started today 3 miles of walking ..... let us see where this goes. 21 days here I come

Day 14 -- did 1/2 hour weight lifting at the gym the came home and mowed the lawn.

@ etaylor - WOW! Better lady than I am, that's for sure! On my weight days, I come home, hit the shower and collapse. Great work, keep it up!

@ jezy - no worries about the belated check-in. You are doing great! And, you get creative when you're not out walking - that's always a good plus. Keeps things fun and interesting, which will help ensure you keep up the great work.

Round 3, day 8 -
It was a pool day today, but I had a mediocre swim. Managed to scrape out 30 mins of breast stroke (about 600 m - should have been closer to 800 at my usual pace) and only 10 mins of butterfly (a whopping 100 m!) I've been trying to tweak my macros to help with a medical issue, and I think I pulled my carbs a little too far down. Especially if I'm going to keep up the activity levels.... I, literally, staggered out of the pool, which I haven't done since I started swimming again.

Day 16 -- more weights and then stationary bike. Good work out, but am very tired.
