April Exercise Challenge



Recommended Posts

Ok, I had to start one of these.:thumbup: I know it's not quite April, but with it snowing here, I had to at least have April thoughts.

Let's keep up the great work and see the results coming.

Me personally, I want to be below 270 before softball starts at the end of the month. Shooting for 267-268

I'm committing to at least 20 hours of exercise in April...I just order the AB Rocket, looking forward to it getting here. Also walking the track and climbing the stair at the high school football field, and doing the bike at night. I also have a weight goal of getting to 200 by May 8th, going on vacation then. Good luck everyone.

Ok, so last night (I know, last night of March, but I'm putting it here:biggrin:), I did my upper body workout. Went real good, 11 rep circuits per exercise. This morning was back on elliptical for 65 minutes, 1103 calories and 5.36 miles. Back in tonight for lower body and 11 rep circuits.

Hope all is going well for you guys and your workout goals so far.

I was on elliptical this morning and did 60minute and the darn machine kicked me off...lol but only burn 845cal. I think if you run it on default it will only do 60min (actually was 58min and 2min cool down) then it shut off. I usually do 35min elliptical and then 30min treadmill but I wasnt that tired today and I also had a good view :lol:

Ceradad: one of these days ill catch up to you... lol

So there's no "exercise police" here? First time signing up - I thought there might be a set challenge of time etc...Whosya, going to keep me in check????...LOL

Right now thru the first of May I'm in a twice a wk Boot Camp w/trainer. No idea what I'll be doing till that day comes...BTW it's an A$$ whip.

3/4 days I'm doing hard cardio & weight training or core exercises set by the man that whips my butt.

Not sure of any additional info to throw out - advise welcomed..:blush:

Hey all. I am in too. I have been going strong since surgery. For April, I will walk 6 days/week until April 17th (6 weeks post op visit and possible 1st fill.) At that point I hope to get the OK to start running, again. If that happens, I will re-start the Couch to 5K program with walking or elliptical in between, maintain 6 days/week.

I'm in. Even though I was banded 8 months ago, I only recently found and joined this web site. I did not start exercising until January 08 but have consistently done low intensity aerobics since then. I plan to get in 18 hours of aerobic activity (walking) and 8 hours of resistance training. We'll see.....:thumbup:

Sorry, no workout police, just lots of encouragement from those on here.

As for me, as I said yesterday, last night was lower body circuit training. This morning, I had a chiro appt, so I was able to get extra cardio in. Did 65 minutes on elliptical for 5.33 miles and 1085 calories. Then, did another 65 on the elliptical doing interval training. Did 5.44 miles and 1150 calories. Sweating bullets the whole time.:wink_smile:

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
