    4/7 with 24 minutes on treadmill. I'm counting lugging the baby in carseat as strength training. Especially since it's not my baby lol.

    :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou: Congrats, Choco! What an inspiration! :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou:
    Welcome all ye newcomers! This thread is very inspiring!

    I have news: I am Teacher of the Year at my school! :noway: Needless to say, I'm very shocked! :blushing:

    4/7: 15 minute walk
  • Congrats bluenote!


    4/7 - 47 minutes of Wii Fit..burned 325 cal

    This thread has really motivated me...I was so tired after I put kids to bed but I still got a workout in.
  • Choco, what can I substitute from Insanity for the HIIT workout today? Only 15 minutes? I know it is tuff but that seems short! Tomorrow is the same as yesterday right? I can NOT wait till Thursday when my Turbo Fire arrives!!!! I will hit the elliptical AND what ever you suggest from Insanity to get my 500 calorie burn in for the day!!!

    I sure miss Debra (makeitallsue):sad: ! Her computer must still be on the fritz!!! But she is still workin it cuz she received the treadmill for Christmas!!!

    True HIIT workouts are a max of 20 minutes. The HIIT that athletes do, such as sprinting and things like that. The point of HIIT is you should not be able to go for any longer once you're done, you should be entirely wiped by the time you're done a HIIT workout and that's why you should only do it only a couple of times a week.
  • Oh I guess I should put in yesterday and today's activities.

    01/03/11: 3/7
    Pull-ups
    Short walk
    01/04/11: 4/7
    Restish day
    8 min Abs
    A couple of minutes of stairs and a little bit of light walking.

    I really wish my foot would get better. I have such an incredible desire to give my body a good *kitten* kicking but it won't let me at the moment.

    Congrats to all for another successful day!!:flowerforyou: :flowerforyou: 5/7 for me: 4.0 miles @ 5..9 mph with 1.0 incline. Boy, I have read that motivational music played loud is best during exercise so it drowns out the pain, and I'm here to tell you that they're right!! I usually only do the incline as hill training like HIIT. This is an addition I wanted to try to build strength through resistance. I had no trouble through the first 2.5 miles and then I noticed my breathing getting a little labored. Then 6060-842 started and I knew my stride was off. I adjusted and my breathing got back to 2 steps in and 2 steps out like it should be. I got to 3.3 and Whammy Kiss and Work That Skirt got me through to the end. I felt awesome!! At the end I could feel it in my calves and my thighs a little. Thanks to the B-52s and to God goes the Glory.:bigsmile:

    I just input my running and calastentics for today and it was 948 calories burned!! First breakfast was only 441 so I'm still 507 in the hole!! Eeeeexcellent!! I've noticed that the exercise calories burned are a little high so I adjust the time to match the calorie counter on my treadmill and lower the minutes on the calistentics. Congrats to everybody. Oh yeah, weekly weigh in has me down two pounds! WOOOHOOO!:happy:

    Now that 2010 is complete, I will start getting ready to post the first 2011 table. I have to go over all the posts here but I'll do it tomorrow morning. Right now, I have to do my exercises, clean my house a little and get ready to go to my first university class in many years at 6pm. Even though I do have 7 hours in front of me, I will leave home in 5 hours so I don't get cought in the evening rush hour and arrive late. I will now go down on my Gazelle and try to do a mile today. I am still recuperating from my infection and my cardio is not very good yet. Nevertheless, I want to do it!! I'll be back in a little while to let you know how it went.
  • Missouwechanged
    Missouwechanged Posts: 963 Member
    On December 13, I did 0,3 mile in 10 minutes on the Gazelle and was totally out of breath when I finished. On December 17, I did 0.5 mile in 14 minutes with a pounding heart at the end. Today, I did 1 mile in 22 minutes and was breathing normally after a good cardio workout. I did not want to continue since I don't want to overstress myself. I will keep on doing 1 mile for a few days until I feel strong enough.

    Over the holidays, I gained a little too much weight. The awful 5 came back!!! :noway: :noway: :noway: :sad: :sad: :sad: I will do a lot of cardio training and some abs work from now on so that it can go away as soon as possible. I also want to work my upper body, my arms and shoulders too. My slimming Pilates DVD will be used!!

    Speak to you all tomorrow :happy:

    Missou : 5/7

    CONGRATULATIONS TO EVERYONE! I can honestly say that if this thread had not been started last year the likelihood that I would have gone entire year of working out would have been next to nothing. You ladies really inspired, encouraged, motivated and supported me every step of the way and I'm so glad i had an opportunity to meet you via MFP. Let's get it in 2011!

    TOM has reared it's ugly head therefore I'm not feeling 100% today which means this will be a quick post. Today I completed the Fire 30, Abs 10 and Stretch 10 dvds from the Turbo Fire program. Once again the moves took a little bit to get adjusted to but if I didn't catch on quick enough I just improvised by doing a move that was very similar.

    Tuesday:

    Chocolickkyss: 4/7 forgot to post my total yesterday (HIIT 15 & Stretch 10)

    Today:

    Chocolickkyss: 5/7

    I really want to say great job to everyone who is new to this thread and who's been rocking out these workouts the last few days. It's a wonderful way to begin the new year and I wish everyone nothing but success.
