    Last night when I went to bed I had ambition to get up this morning and do a longer workout. But when my alarm went off, I didn't want to get up right then, instead I layed in bed for 10 min and finally made myself get up. Got in 30 min of Turbo Jam and then did plank and crunches for a bit, all in all at least I got up and did something, right? lol

    Monday 60mins treadmill 30 step & strength training
    Tuesday 60mins walking
    Wednesday 60mins walking

    150/360

    went to bed last night thinking I was going to do more of a work out then just walking, didn't happen. Got up this morning and my knees (well just one actually) was hurting and when I started walking my lower back started hurting. I'm not whining, just wondering why I am feeling achy and when will it stop. I know being 300+ and trying to start moving there is going to be some aches and pains and being an impatient person I need to realize it'll take awhile. I hope it'll start getting a little easier and I'll feel up to doing more then just walking. I know when I push myself I do more damage because then I stop doing anything for awhile which isn't helpful at all.

    Try to break up the exercise into 3 - 20 minute session, bike riding and swimming are low-impact

    Lastly, try to incorporate some strength training to build muscles for support of bones and joints...I like the 30 day shred for strength, cardio and abs...all in 25 minutes...you will see the shape of your body change...inches lost

    Didn't think about splitting up the exercise, just think I need / wnat to get it all done at once, but does make sense to split it up, I'll try that.
    I thought 30 shred was more high impact and a lot of jumping around, if it's low impact I'll pick it up next time I go to WM. I do strength building but it's mostly for my upper body, I guess I should start focusing on my lower body too.
    Thanks for the suggestions.

    You can modify any exercise based on ability and work your way up...shred is 3 minutes strength, 2 minutes cardio and 1 minute abs x 3 times. It's an all over workout in 27 minutes total including warm up and cool down...I won't lie it hurts a bit...If it doesn't hurt, it's not working

    Not sure if I'm gonna get to workout any more today. My mom's having surgery and I am the only kid that can help take care of her. My sister just older than me had surgery last Thursday and Friday so I'll be taking care of both of them most likely. And my brother is out of town so his kids are staying at my mom's too. Hope that I get a litle time to maybe workout for like a half hr today, and tomorrow I have a baby shower and then have to head back to my parents for the rest of the weekend to help out, they live an hr away from me. Lots of running around I imagine getting kids to football games and practices, cooking meals for everyone, etc. Hope my hubby is ready to help out too:smile: .

    Since I didn't do anything yesterday my goal for today is to get 90 or more minutes today. Splitting up my workouts should help me in obtaining that goal. Got 30mins done so far only 60 to go. Guess I shouldn't think of it that way, I'm kinda thinking of exercising like a chore and who wants to do chores? not me..... I do like the way I feel after though, I feel like I have a little more energy then when I don't do anything.


    Monday 60mins treadmill 30 step & strength training
    Tuesday 60mins walking
    Wednesday 60mins walking
    Thursday zilch
