The Movers & The Shakers - Week 2

sounds good to me i walk my dogs all the time so i should definately be able to keep up with this one

I'd like to join in on this challenge.

Thanks,
Esther

Which brings up a question - anyone know of a good brand of pedometer that really works?

I am not much of a walker but sure I give this challenge a try. I did go on a bike ride today can that count for something?? I did great with the water last week considering that is all I drink anyway. I do not like soda its yucky and juice is too sweet I would rather eat an apple than drink juice ditto for grapes. anyhow heres to a new challenge:drinker:

Well, this challenge is good.
I'm starting the C25K, so I've got an advantage.

I'm pretty sure I got in all of my water everyday last week. I drink a lot of water anyway, I like this new challenge. I have started walking at lunch some day so this challenge will keep me going. It's been in the upper 90s lately so having this challenge will keep me motivated to get out and walk even in the HEAT. :mad: :mad: :glasses: It's also important for everyone to continue with your water even if that specific challenge is over (Hey, maybe that's an idea... throw in the water challenge every few weeks).

Hope everyone is doing well and I can't wait to hear what you all are doing for your 1 mile challenge!!!

Mon 08/03/09 11:46 AMOkay, I plan to take a 1 mile walk tonite before I eat dinner and then around 8 pm I will do Chest, Shoulders & Triceps with Ab Ripper X. This is a good challenge. I need to get more cardio in.
Have a great week everyone.

how far into p90x are you? I just finished up week 7 and I feel pretty good. I have noticed definite changes in my upper body but my lower body (especially my legs) is slow going. How about you? My fav workout is Kenpo.
sorry I cant figure out how to get it to "Quote"

I did my walk last night after it cooled off. This challenge is what got me out there. I could have easily said - "nah, not tonight!" Thanks for the challenge.

sorry for the double posting. Didn't think it went anywhere:embarassed:

I just started week 10 yesterday. I am seeing definition in my abs. My arms look a lot better as well. I feel really good in general. I actually just started on these boards and the BeachBody threads, so I have now revamped my food plan, so I am hoping for a lot more improvement in the last couple of weeks.
Do you like the program? My favorite is Kenpo as well. I love the punches and kicks. I have dont Teabo in the past, so it was easy for me to keep coordinated.
What program are you doing, Lean, Classic or doubles?
Keep up the great work. P90X is tough, but it is so worth it. :bigsmile:

I do like the p90x program its a bit different from exercise I have done in the past. I have a martial arts background so that made the kenpo easy and the plyo do-able. I really like the weight lifting as well. I am doing the classic this is my first go around, I might consider the doubles for next time if time permit, if not then classic again.
Mowing the lawn sounds like a great way to get that walk in I may have to try that tommorrow.

I was not able to get in my walk last nite. A friend came over and helped me install a ceiling fan in the Living Room, boy I tell you that helps tremendously with the workouts. I may not get it in tonite either, but I will make sure to get it in for the rest of the week. :bigsmile:

It is unfortunate that those lawns have to be mowed. GRRR!!! I wish it did not grow so fast. hehehe
How are you doing so far with round 1? What week are you on? I hope you are enjoying it as much as I am. Keep up the great work. :bigsmile:

I think mowing the lawn should count for walking. You may be going in circles (or lines or rectangles) but if you added it up I'm sure it would be more than 2 miles if you have a big yard :laugh:

ok so i didnt get out for a walk, but i did make it to spin class at the gym which i have been trying to get to all week....but then i ate two stupid cookies. i am still way under on my calories, but it totally feels like i undid what i did at the gym......i dont know why i have so much of a problem sticking to a healthy diet....maybe once my stress level goes down a little bit i can focus more on the healthy eating. any tips for someone like me who tends to eat totally wrong when they are stressed out.?

Walk away from the temptation. Find something else to do with your hands. Stop thinking about the food. Maybe even drink a glass of water. Anything to get your mind off of it for at least 20 mins, more than likely the craving will go away. If not, only have one instead of two and another glass of water. :bigsmile:

My husband and I have been laying laminate floors in our living room. I haven't had time for working out this week but I walk at lunch (we thought the walk was a mile and a half but we GPSed it today and it is 1.7 miles, not too bad for guessing!!) to make up for not working out.

It has been in the 90s so even just doing the flooring is quite a work out. Sweatin' like crazy, maybe I will just sweat out the punds!!!!

I think the challenge could be done whichever way works best for you!! Just gettin gout a moving is what really matters!!!
