My 2011 52 7/7 challenge!!

I'd like to join in too....sounds fun!

Good afternoon everyone! Tomorrow I start the Turbo Fire/Chalean Extreme hybrid so I spent today completing 30 minutes of Denise Austin's Yoga Burn dvd and 30 minutes of the P90X dvd to loosen the muscles.

Chocolickkyss: 2/7

Found this today (Jan 2nd) but would like to start from here. No workout yesterday as my family has a gathering every January 1st that lasts all day. I was good and stayed away from the dessert table! I will be working out shortly with Turbo Jam...do I post as 1/7 and I will only have 6/7 for this week?

Yep! Good job at passing up the desserts, I am opposite, I would eat the desserts and skip the other!:huh:

If you complete Turbo Jam today you will be 1/7 and if you exercise every day til Friday you will be 6/7. The week begins on Saturday so if you exercise on Jan 8th you'll be 1/7 and so on and so forth.

Thanks. OK, then I have finished Turbo Jam Cardio Party so that puts me at 1/7 for this week!

I hope ya'll don't mind if I join you? I like that this group isn't focused around a certain workout program or weightloss goal...plus I see some familiar faces! (Hi Verda & Choco!!)

I will not have a goal of 7/7 though. I take 1 complete rest day per week, so my goal is 6/7. Is that ok?

I will be doing Cathe's STS program along with some Turbo Fire & various other cardio along the way starting tomorrow. I look forward to getting to know you all!

Welcome.....what program are you doing now? I start Turbo Fire today (01.03.11).

I did the 7/7 challenge last year and couldn't believe I actually accomplished it. It's amazing the different ways I found to incorporate some type of exercise into my schedule even on my rest days. Sundays are my designated rest day and I would walk the 2 miles to and from the Blockbuster to return a movie instead of driving or I walk to take care of my errands while my car was being serviced. I probably will have "true" rest days this year but we'll see.

1/7 - 20 minutes of aerobics
2/7 - 40 minutes of wii fit plus

WEIGHT: 177

Great job on doing the 7/7 last year!! I will really HAVE to take 1 rest day. I need that day off, both mentally & physically. The 'main program' I will be doing is Cathe Freidrich's STS. It is a strength program very similar to P90X. I also will be doing Turbo Fire for cardio (STS has no cardio), but will not really be following the schedule. My hubby & I do programs together & he will be marathon training so his cardio is set. For once I get to do whatever cardio I want without worrying about him so I'm going to take advantage of it & do step, dance, Turbo Fire.....

I'll report back later with my workout for today. Everyone is doing so great!!!

2/7 - Couch 2 5K Week 5 Day 1 completed this morning! Will be doing Turbo Jam Sculpt after work.

Me too! I did C25K Week 5 Day 1 this morning with an extra 5 minute run tagged on the last 5 minute running interval. I have been doing the C25K as directed and then just add on an extra 10 minute run at the end, but 5:15 came waaaaay too early today, and it took me a few minutes to get out of bed so I just didn't have much time to spare.

So I am officially 3/7 today with 35 minutes walk/run doing C25K, 370 calories burned!

I am late...but I want to join

This sounds like fun even if it only includes abs and weights for 8 weeks because of surgery.

What is a 52 7/7 challenge?? It is one were I want to do some kind of exercise every day of this new year. The amount and the intensity of the exercise is not an issue, the important thing is that I do something every dfay. I started one last year but because of medical issues, I did not complete it. I still have medical issues, including at least 1 surgery in my future but this year, I hope to complete this challenge with a lot more success. I am 15 pounds away from my ultimate goal and I was told that my uterus is as big as the one of a 4 months pregnant lady because of fibroïds. I bet I will lose some pounds and some inchs off my belly when I'll get it removed.

This challenge of mine starts today and I will go on my Gazelle and for a long walk with my daughter's dog. Who is with me???

I have officially started the Turbo Fire/Chalean Extreme hybrid program. I started w/the transition week, so, today I completed Fire 45 and Stretch 10. Since I decided to jump right into it I bypassed the "new to class" option which was pretty interesting. It took a minute for me to get the moves but I was eventually able to catch a stride. On moves that took a little longer I improvised so that I could stay moving. I'm sure it will get better as I become familiar with the moves but I was happy with the end result. I burned 444 calories in 45 minutes and then another 71 by completing the stretching. I added 5 minutes onto the stretch so i could have a solid hour of working out.

I believe tomorrow will be my first HIIT workout.


Chocolickkyss: 3/7

My 3/7 consisted of CLX Fat Blaster, CLX Recharge AND 2 miles on the elliptical! All to get 503 calories burned!!

I sure wish I had an Elliptical b/c I love the burn you can get from that machine. My house is just not big enough to keep it in the living room.
