I played tennis today!!!! It's been about a couple of months since I last picked up my racquet and I didn't feel like it this morning but woohooo!!!! Footwork and movement isn't as good but that is to be expected considering how little time I've put into working out lately. I'm not hurting...yet! lol!!! Will be back on the court this weekend!
nycfem: if you were closer, I'd be bugging you to play! |
Did better than I expected on bench but, due to the fact that I'm overdue to visit the chiropractor, my deadlifts SUCKED. Disappointing and embarrassing since deadlifts was the thing I specifically wanted to do tonight.
|
Decided to work from home today, allowing me to go to the gym in the AM. I did 45 minutes of cardio/weight machines and swam for 1 hour.
Feel very calm and focused going to work |

Exercise helps maintain the 46% and keep it as effective as it can be. It seems to make great deal of difference doing the exercise in the open air. |
Today at gym: 30 min Arc Trainer (L10, Strength program), 45 min. Stair Master (45/50 intervals), and 15 min. stretching. The stretching was the best. I lay on a mat in front of a giant window of sunlight. I was in the hip area of the gym so there was some nice music playing. Nothing like being bathed in sunlight while stretching :)
|
my mind says "wow, the hip area of the gym" you go to a gym that has a place to just work on hips, lol. that's how my mind thinks. of course, after I read it I realized that you meant "cool" area.
sounds like you had a good workout, as did I. Tried to do some work when I got home but instead: 1) watched 2 episodes of House of Cards 2) took a nap...delicious probably won't get back to the gym until Sat. |

It would be nice to have music. That would drown out my cussing but then I'd lose volume control and my customers might hear me. :blink: Put me down for several more hours of shoveling over the past few days. When I got home last night, I was so whupped my fingers ached to the very tips. The bonus is that my shoulders, while still aching and sore, are not quite as sore and achy so maybe my body's adjusting a bit. |

Shoveling really does hit so many muscle groups, top and bottom. I am sorry it isn't a "choice" to work out, though. :-( |
Today: 1 hr Stair Master (45/50 Intervals), 1 hr weight lifting, abs, and yoga.
Afterwards I hung out with my friend Lakesha in the locker room while I chomped on two apples and almonds. She is my gym bestie. |
I did my daily 15 minute walk for the first time today all week. I was really sick and weak, and actually still felt a bit weak today. And the melting, slushy snow, and slippery ice was not very pleasant to walk in.
I really am not an exercise fan, but I am making the effort to be a little bit healthier. |
Yes, it's been such a pain to have all the old snowy slush around. I am so tired of this hard winter.

today i did cardio salsa.....amazing...ive climbed mountains and never felt my calves burn like that! its also good since it works your abs from an upright position...not everyone likes to do ab work while on their back.....
i also did an hour of yoga.....every time i do yoga i revel in how amazing it makes me feel.....its like stretching that makes you sweat..... :) im getting in shape for spring hiking.....my favorite exercise of all.... |
played hide and seek and lego with a friend's 6yo. i managed to hide under his bed. not gonna let anyone tell me that wasn't bloody exercise lol
|
I forgot to mention....members of my family are doing a charity 5k for Lymes disease research in the spring.... Im hoping I can join them....so the extra workouts will help with that too :)
|
I have this app on my phone that lets me know how many steps I've walked. Well, at the end of the month it tells me, I've cycled for 2 miles. Hmmmm, I don't even have a bike. Well, I figured out, it's me walking up and down the stairs with my phone in my hand..lol
|
I did no exercise today unless you count filling little freezer bags with chilli to be exercise. I have an app that counts my trips to the freezer.

*grin* I would benefit better if I wouldn't go home and inhale too much food, but my shoulders are tight and as muscular as they can be considering how small my upper body is. I do feel my abs contract and I know my thighs get some work too, with the up and down up the scooping. So, I definitely feel the workout. Today I hauled 25-40 lb bags of salt around. Yay. :blink: |
Are you saying that snow shovelling counts as exercise??? OMG I've been exercising for weeks, months.

All movement with intention is exercise. It helps if you mutter under your breath, I've learned. |
I have been having to be careful with my left knee cause of a stretched mcl that happened a few years ago.For whatever reason the darn thing has been acting up,I did go for a walk with the fur kids so all isn't to bad.Also I have been working with some free weights.
|
25 min. Stair Master (Intervals, 45/50) and then 35 min. free weights and stretching
Oh, Mondays... |
twenty minutes of pilates and at least sixty minutes of lindy hop (:
Dancing is easy cardio 'cause it's fun, but I really do need more upper body work. |
Quote:
Bonus? FLAT SHOES! Wee! For those that don't have a clue: I went to the gym today but didn't work out. I did, however, finally get my transfer sorted out properly. It was supposed to be so easy, but they've had software and online issues with the installation of a new program so my 'fast and easy' transfer officially took me several weeks to do. Mostly in part to me not having any time off during which the, apparently, only person who could do this worked. But I feel better and this location will make it far more difficult for me to talk myself out of working out in the future. |
This lindy hop looks similar to swing dancing.
|
I got Jillian Michaels 30 day shred....its a progressive 4 week program that combines intervals of cardio...strength training and ab work....
I must say... I do enjoy weight training and feeling stronger after... :) |

Today: 6800 steps Climbed 16 flights of stairs 20 minutes on the recumbent bike But only 5 hours sleep... |

From Wikipedia: The Lindy Hop is an American dance that evolved in Harlem, New York City in the 1920s and 1930s and originally evolved with the jazz music of that time. Lindy was a fusion of many dances that preceded it or were popular during its development but is mainly based on jazz, tap, breakaway and Charleston. It is frequently described as a jazz dance and is a member of the swing dance family. |

Today, my exercise will involve lifting my kindle off my chest after I doze off a hundred times. I let my blood sugar drop and screwed my system up something fierce. I'm missing a free dance tonight and I just want to mope and kick things pitifully... but I'm too tired. |
I did yoga this morning..
I'm trying to do it every morning...and sometimes at night... I've noticed it really works my core, and makes me practice better posture through the day... I do love me some Jillian though...she makes it hurt in the best way(s) possible! |
Got back to gym today, not leisurely because I had to go to work but:
1/2 hour elliptical (recumbent), 1/2 hour machines, 1/2 hour swimming |
I guess it is the wrong thread to look at after inhaling 1200 calories of cheese, yes you read correctly.
I walk 4 miles per day, so today I did that. I am also a big fan of Jillian Michaels. I am on week 2 of Ripped in 30. I have been unfaithful to her though, shhh don't tell, and have done the Tracy Anderson Mat Workout that's been toning me insanely. It sculpts a very feminine body. |

I would love to learn swing. I bet it would be tough for me to get down (no pun intended).

As part of my commitment to increasing my health quotient, I joined Planet Fitness today!
Okay, :| , It was because I stared at my reflection in a full length mirror at the mall today. It was not pretty. Trying to find a baggage holder for the "girls" was mucho horrible. Don't get me started... :pirate-steer: Yes, I wanted to walk the plank instead. So, anyhoo, my story is that I joined to take better care of my health... and I'm sticking to it. I can do this, I think I can, I think I can :firetruck: <... pretend this is a train. |
I got this in my email today:
You earned the Helicopter badge! You've climbed 500 floors, that's like reaching the altitude of a Helicopter. Since I started using the FitBit 1 last December I climbed as high as a helicopter. Okay. This is pretty cool. |
I swam for 2 hours today, first time I swam that long. Do you think Diana Dyad should be worried, lol, hahahah
