Happy New Year everyone! And welcome to another exciting year of exercise challenge.:Yawn:

Today: 50 minutes treadmill at 5% incline 2.1 miles.

nothing this morning - took the kiddos to school. I've done something funky to my ankle (not twisted just a bit sore) - I'm going to hit the gym when I get off though - maybe the rower? or swimming?

Hi everyone! I'm new to this thread. Can we do any kind of excercise?? I really need something to motivate me! Thanks!

yes Heidi - anything is fine. We just try to stay motivated and moving...welcome!

Yes, any kind of exercise works. We motivate each other, so come join us. :confused:

Can I ask what is the purpose of a sauna? I sweat enough doing cardio to go sit in heat not to mention I live in a sauna 8 mos a year in Houston.

Wednesday: OFF

Thursday: 80 min. Legs/Calfs/Shoulders

30 min. StairClimber (torture chamber) I can go longer on any other machine but this one is a killer. Says I burned 230 cal in 30 min. so I had some cheetos when I got home.

A sauna can help take the aches out of your muscles after a workout. It can detox you and it can help relax you. I miss being in the sauna.

Yesterday I completed a Richard Simmons workout video - 40 minutes of Sweating to the Oldies.

I am thinking about joining a gym. Do you all belong to a gym or do you exercise at home?

I work out at home. It is just easy with my work/commute/family schedule.

Yesterday - 15 min treadmill, 20 min upper body strength, 20 min elliptical.

Today - no time for the gym until Saturday, but I'm going to try to walk my dogs in the cruddy weather after my niece's b-day party.

30 minutes Zumba

Hey Georgia Girl. I was an advid jogger as a teenager and twentysomething young woman, but because of my weight gain I stopped. I so want to jog again, but I am afraid because I am 5'6" and 220 pounds.

I don't want to stress my joints by jogging/running with this excess weight. However, I know that I can lose the weight quicker if I jog/run rather than walk.

Are you running on a treadmill or outdoors. I so want to run/jo outdoors, but I was thinking I would have to loose more weight first.:confused:

I'm surprised at how much I enjoy my gym! I get a much better workout than I ever did at home, and I don't feel as out of place as I expected to.

I still do some things at home, though - Crunches on the ball, walking my dogs, some Wii Fit yoga.
