    Thanks axesesh. :)

    On the running conversation, I can't run around the block without setting off my asthma, so kuddos to all that run, be it six miles or eleven miles.

    You can take the stairs instead of the elevator, park at the far end of the parking lot, do a 1 month challenge like this (arm challenge, plank, ab, just do it every day) Instead of sitting while waiting, stand. Take a walk during your lunch hour. Just move. That's the thing I hear from every trainer/class instructor at the gym, doctor, etc. Just move! Lol

    There's alot of free apps that you can do HIIT that only takes a few minutes to do and very little to no equipment. A great way to get going is to wake up in the morning, do those exercises before your shower and start your day from there.

    But, you have to treat your exercise like you would any important thing. You have to decide what you will do everyday or maybe 3x a week (you decide) and block that time for it. You wouldn't make an appointment during the time of a running appointment, would you? (Physical therapy, allergy shots ) Nope. Treat it the same way. Good luck!

    October 12, 2015 Day 2: 1.56 miles in 33 minutes

    I planned on walking another 15 minutes and 10 minutes of core exercises, but went home sick and had to rest :-/

    Hopefully I can still get some long distance running in the rest of this week.

    Hello everyone and new faces. Hope your all well and still enjoying the challenge. So after my run Sunday it left me with a bad leg.. :s so kept it steady yesterday with core workouts. And today was an hour crossfit weight lifting and wod which was AMRAP(as many reps as possible ) in 10 mins and it was 10 ball throw ups with a 5kg ball and squats. 10 kettlebells swing 10k. And 10 box jumps (which I can't do /and really dislike ) and I did 8 rounds in 10 mins. Crossfit is intense I love it.. hoping for a run tomorrow.

    Great work everyone :) your all working so hard. It's great to see

    Weightlifting today. Followed by 20 minutes on the treadmill. My knee was a little stiff today but it felt good doing the workout. Everyone is doing a great job and seeing what everyone is doing has really encouraged me. :) Starting the ab challenge today with my husband tonight. I'm excited but that's before we do the exercises with him lol

    Day 18: weightlifting. I am beginning to like this type of workout. It's nice to change it up a bit from cardio.
  • quiltlovinlisa
    quiltlovinlisa Posts: 1,710 Member
    Whew! An hour working legs and tush! about 22 minutes of strength, lunges, squats, side lunges and 23 minutes of lower body based cardio (lots of hops and jumps) with about 15 minutes total of warm up/cool down/stretches.

    My next two days are rest days, so I need to figure out what my recovery workouts will be.

    OMG this weightlifting is awesome! Yesterday I didn't get a single drop of sweat and today almost every muscle in my body hurts. So for my day 19 it's gonna be yoga, stretching and dog walking.
    Happy to see a lot of newcomers! Good job everyone! <3

    You need to exercise for 100 days straight no matter how you feel or what the weather is like.

    Done.

    Actually it has been longer than 100 days because I've been exercising every day since July 5, and that is 102 days. :)

    My exercise has included a whole lot of walking, cycling, and stair climbing mainly. And I've started lifting weights more recently.

    I walk 5 days a week as part of my commute to and from work (1 km) + more at lunch. Once or twice a week since mid-July I have also walked between the university and work. Then after work, whenever possible, my husband and I walk to the beach. So I walk anywhere from about 2 km on a light day to about 8 km.

    I cycle on the weekends. Up till recently, we didn't have daylight hours in the evening, and I'm uncomfortably cycling hills in the dark. So weekends are for cycling.

    And starting sometime in late August or so, I climb 25+ flights of stairs 5 days a week. At last count, I was over 700 flights of stairs, but it has been a little while since I last totalled it.
