Thank you for such an inspiring and timely post. I walked 3.5 hrs on my (homemade/rigged) treadmill desk recently and was surprised to see I had burned over 1,000 calories. As someone who is used to doing more intense cardio, I was wondering if these calories would be as effective for weight loss. Silly question, I know,…

Hey there, I rigged a treadmill desk by simply putting a wire bookcase shelf across the arms. I sit my laptop, keyboard & mouse on top of small boxes to get the ergonomics right. I haven't been consistently using it but plan to get back in the groove after today's results. I walked for 3.75 hours today while working on a…

Sooo... funny. Thanks for the laugh. The Stairmaster was once my favorite cardio machine. Now you've lit that fire again!

Preeetttyyyy......

Multi-tasking at it's best - I love it! :)

You're doing great. Rest up and feel better. :)

Day 11 (11/22): Rest (I actually clocked about 5K steps between doing food prep and cleaning but I consider these to be a bonus calorie burn.) Day 12 (11/23): Weights (upper & lower) – 57 mins I just completed Hammer& Chisel – Total Body Chisel (trial) This session was with Autumn Calabrese – I like her. The actual tape is…

OMG - this made me laugh so hard. I have this picture in my mind of your 3 year old trying to stop and play with toys while you tried to keep it moving. Poor thing. :)

Day 6 (11/17): Upper Body Weights - Dumbells; 30 mins Day 7 (11/18): SM Intervals - 64 mins Day 8 (11/19): Stationary/Spin Bike - 10 mins + Treadmill walk - 92 mins Day 9 (11/20): Treadmill walk - 30 mins Day 10 (11/21): Stairmaster Intervals - 92 mins

Great tips - especially #5. I'm also going to check out Habitica. Thanks!

I discovered Spin a few years ago when I was looking for low-impact cardio options - I think I took one step class too many back in the day. :)

Day 5: (11/16) Spin class + Bike - 83 mins

Ditto!

Awesome - thanks!

I was curious about the Les Mills Combat - is that weight lifting? I'll have to check out some YT videos.

Hey there, I liked the Chalene Extreme tape. She's a very good instructor - really gives a lot of instructions about proper form. It's a good beginner's program and the session durations range from 33 to 45 mins - very efficient. I have a 30 day BB streaming trial, so I also checked out a preview of the Hammer & Chisel…

Day 5: (am) Spin class + Bike - 108 mins (pm) Weights - Chalene Extreme Burn Circuit 1 - 30 mins

Day 4: Stairmaster Intervals - 64 minutes. Planning to start a modified version of the ChaLene Extreme weight lifting program tomorrow. Hopefully I'll like it.

:)

Day 3: Rest day - Stretching.

Sorry to hear about your ankle - congrats on still getting a workout. Hope it's better tomorrow.

Oopsie - accidentally hit the Post button... 27 mins/23.8 miles

Day 1: (11/11): Stairmaster (SM) Intervals - 62 mins Day 2: Spin Bike - 70 mins + weights (machines) - 27 mins/23.

Laughing so hard.... Thank you :)

Day 1: Stairmaster Intervals - 62 mins

Deep Breath.... Hi everyone, I'm a little late to the party but I'd like to join the group. I've been reading through some of the posts and I love the energy and support - which I really need. This is round 2 for me on MFP. I dropped 20 lbs using the app around this time last year. I think mostly by creating my deficits…

OMG - LOL! I think we've all done this - or the teeny-tiny turn

Spingirl605's comments (and the others :) ) are on point. I switched to Spin classes after years of Step classes hurt my knees. I've been Spinning for a few years now and while I try to keep up with the class in general, I always adjust my ride when needed. I hope you'll give Spin a try and have a fun class!

This!! When I've lost weight before (alas starting over again), I remember asking a good male friend, why guys were staring at me. I mean, were they trying to do some sort of Jedhi mind trick to get me to walk over and ask them out?
