Jan 1: 32 min walk 3.5 mph = 302 calories burned (HRM) Off to a good start! :smile:

I'm going to go ahead and join this challenge for the new year. :smile: I plan on doing at least 50 minutes / 5x a week, but hopefully this will encourage me to do a little extra and meet my goals of 10 lbs lost every two months. I will edit this once I've done some time on the treadmill this afternoon. Thanks for this…

47 min spin class = 601 calories burned according to my heart rate monitor. I consider it a win day. :smile:

I got a $1200 treadmill at Costco for $900. Not a huge savings, but I wanted a good one that wasn't used so that I knew the history of the machine. Mine also has adjustable cushioning going from running on a pillow to running on an un-giving (street-like) surface. It is very different than running outside. The trick is to…

If you had told me 6 months ago that I'm about to call this fun, I would have thought you were crazy... I have found that I LOVE spin class. I'm not a super fit person and its amazingly hard, but afterwards, I feel so good. Its a great workout, the music is driving and the instructor keeps pushing you to give it your all.…

Spinning kicks my rear every time I do it. I love it tho and I feel like I get a much higher aerobic workout than on the elliptical. But they do use different muscles. Remember that if you're doing spin correctly you're not bouncing all over the place, but your core is super tight and holding your upper body steady. Every…

If you have Netfllix instant watch there is one that I love! Its Crunch Candlelight Yoga. Its a good beginning 45 min hatha yoga (stretching) video. At the beginning, its really slow, but breathing is really important in yoga so that's why she spends time on it in the beginning. I do distance running and yoga really does…

Our normal date night is to go bowling! Its fun, we can laugh at ourselves, its vaguely exercise so I don't feel bad about doing it and we can still chat and enjoy each other's company. It doesn't matter how bad you are, its just a fun thing to do go out and do for a couple hours. :smile:

Hey, all, I've decided I need to bow out of this challenge. I'm sorry, but I am not keeping up with my exercises challenge wise and so I want to be able to focus on the exercises that are working for my body, not what someone else decides. Have fun and I still want to keep up with everyone's successes through being friends…

I think most put it in as basic circuit training if you don't have a heart rate monitor. Good luck!

I sent in my check in. Not too great, but ok this week. No weight change which is disappointing but at least I didn't gain after my crazy stressful week. I'm going to bow out of the October challenge. I'm going to do my own thing the month of October and see how I do. Good luck everyone! I had fun, but need to focus on…

I have been visiting my mom at her home for 9 days now (I leave tomorrow). She's very aware of quest to get healthier and so I've cooked just about every meal we've eaten (we did go out to dinner once and I'm sure we'll go out for lunch tomorrow before my flight) and I found a local gym that does $5 day passes for guests…
