    I really need to get back on track. Ever since starting my courses last week I have been putting working out on the back burner, which is sad because the previous 6 weeks I was all about the working out. I am all or nothing I need to learn moderation and balance.

    I am at 4 points for the week, on my way to a perfect 10! Yesterday I walked around campus for 15 minutes, did 45 minutes of Walk Away the Pounds, and did 30 minutes of Run Your Butt Off.

    Question: for Rep'n Tuesday, how do we determine the added 20 minutes? If I'm running 30-60 minutes normally, would I have to run 80 minutes for it to count, or would 50 suffice?

    If you already run 60 then you would add 20min. (not far if you are use to doing 60 and you get the point for doing 50) I personally do 45 min when i comes to cardio (when on the machines) so for me it would be 85min to get the point. Same with the reps, I usally do three sets of what ever exercise I'm doing (curls, situps, push ups) so I would add a few more to each rep to get at least 20 extra in for the point.

    this is definitely going to be a bit confusing to me because i dont HAVE a set time i exercise- i usually do whatever i want to do and push myself however far i want to go... can we just say that the minimum has to be at least 20 minutes, so that if you do 20, you have to do 20 more to get the point?

    Another question has come up about the additional 20 minutes of cardio. Does that have to be at the same time as your other cardio or can you add a 20 minute session during the day?

    I need some help. Looking at next month's challenges I think I can handle them but I am totally stuck at to what to do for strength training. Does anyone have any suggestions as to where to start looking for plans/ideas. Better yet, do you know of a good DVD?

    Emily exercises like push ups, sit ups, planks, etc are really good and no equipment or dvds are needed. Here is a few sites you can check out...

    http://www.strength-training-woman.com

    ETA: I like the second one you can pick exercises based on areas you want to target!

    Yay! Another two points. Between that and being able to get a skirt on (not wearable yet, but I could zip and button it) make for a pretty good NSV day!

    Do hiking and rock climbing count as strength training?
