    thank you everyone for the welcome's. I did a bit better today on the treadmill, went for 20 minutes this time, i guess i'll just work my way up to better times. Hopefully my dvd will come soon so i have that variety going on.

    nicole - I know that with my treadmill it was giving me 100 more calories burned but I've heard others say theirs gave them 200 more. It's very misleading! Your workout sounds awesome though! Good for you on taking the stairs yesterday & parking far away! Every little bit counts!

    Keep at it!! :drinker:

    Well, we got some sunshine here in Pittsburgh!! Still cold, mind you but it sure does make you feel better!! I just got back from my step class a little bit ago. It was great! I just love the energy!! I picked up the BL power sculpt dvd, I'll have to let you know how it is!

    I've not heard of the flirtgirl dvd's, I'll have to look into them! I'm always lookin for something new to motivate!

    I'm seriously considering doing a 5k. I'm going to do some research & see what I need to do to train for it. My understanding is that it's a little more than 3 miles. Has anyone ever done one & have any thoughts or words of wisdom??

    I could use someone or someones to help me get my behind out of the house and work out. I just had foot surgery though, so does anone know any good no impact exercises. Wheelchairs are great for the upper body, but really bad for your lower body.

    It's a beautiful day here in Michigan, some and my 4 year old were outside making a snowman. I can't walk yet, so she keeps bombing me with snowballs. The crawling around in snow was actually hard work though. A couple of hours of this and I definitely hit my workout for the day. Exercise outside vs. inside is so much fun!:laugh:

    Why are Mondays so hard to get motivated??
    I was able to get my workout done even though I totally wasn't "feelin it" at all!! I did BL Cardio Max (with just the music - no instructor - kinda cool that way) & then I jumped on the tread mill for another 15 minutes to finish! 526 calories burned according to my Polar!
    I still have to do my pushup challenge starting week 6!!

    Keep movin!! :drinker:

    With a name like "ab ripper" you'd think it would be super intense:tongue:
    I did 100 cruches, some upper arm and shoulder stuff and some lunges and squats, and of course the Flirty Girl!!

    For those of you who were wondering, it is kind of like a porno gone wrong, lol. It's a striptease workout that I highly reccomend doing when no one is around!
