I just wanted to say that I jogged on my treadmill today for the first time! I am a 63 yo woman and don't think I have ever done that bf. I tell you I felt so good doing it and will continue this so I can enter a race with my daughter this summer for sure! I was floating..and sweating but didn't kill me!:wink0:

Congratulations what an accomplishment. I wish I had that stamina. I have all to do to get myself to walk on the treadmill and then I increase it to a rapid pace but that's it. Best wishes I hope you make it to do that run with your daughter.

Wooohooo, I bet it felt fabulous ! ! !

What a great victory!! I'm really happy for you.

Thank you all.

Another question. I hate to say it but my butt is nonexistent, flat as a board and was wondering if I keep jogging will it help the ole butt? I can feel some tightness in the glutes now, but is there hope?

Great job! I've heard running is a great way to tone up, so maybe it would help with the butt. Mine's also flat and it jiggles terribly...if the jogging does it for you, let me know because I think I would get past being terrified of running and try it if it would help with this jello butt.

Jiggle butt! So funny Dee dee and I know you work out and dance so I must be looking at some serious work on mine!! I will keep on and let you know. My daughter runs and she complains also about her butt jiggling but she doesn't do any other exercise and sporadic at that. Buns of steel is my hope but hamburger buns is more like it for me.

Itstime, congrats on the endorphine rush working out. That is great.

FYI, from a mans view, nothing wrong with hamburger buns...

I hear running definitely tones up, but all the runners that I know personally suffer from tiny hiney.

Now, I love, love, love squats, lunges, and these funky tippy toe exercises I do to help my toosh. I have noticed that I'm getting a little curve to the bottom of my butt, and jeans actually look good on me.

I wouldn't mind the tiny hiney (cute phrase) so much as long as it was lifted and not a big bowl of jello. You're right though, lunges and squats probably need to become my best friend.

Good for you! That must of felt great! I got plantar fisicititis when i got on the treadmill and am out of commission for a bit now. . . but dang it I'll get back on that thing if it kills me sooner or later!

Congrats! That's awesome...I cannot even try to jog on the treadmill for fear of falling, so I stick with the sidewalk.

The only reason I got on the treadmill at home was a nongym day and the weather here is COLD and SNOWEY. Can't wait for spring. Ash you are doing great down 97lb! Looking for spring soon to be outside again to exercise.:crying:

Congrats! Way to go!!

Tiff what are the "funky tippy toe exercises"?

wow, that's great news!! happy to hear you're doing great, you're an insipiration to all.
