Did you exercise today?

[Lori_K 0]

8-10 hours of shopping? Power shopping, now that's my kind of stamina and exercise, lol. You go girl! :wink:

I did 4 miles of jogging on my treadmill today. My longest yet, in about the same time that I've been doing 3 miles. I don't know if I feel good or bad right now. I'm happy I did it, but I am tired and more than a bit sore. :tongue:

I'm sorry to say I didn't exercise yesterday and I don't even have a good excuse. I just put it off till later and later and then I actually forgot to do it until about 11:30 p.m. and there was no way I was going to do it that late. I need to prioritize my days better and get it done earlier. That being said, I'm exercising this afternoon after dh gets home from work. I should be able to do my run outside. Yay!

I did not exercise yesterday. I took a much needed day off from exercise. I have not had a rest in over a month. I just polished off a 10 day/ 100 mile challenge. I did it!

Tonight I do a little bit of Calisthenics and weight training.

I didn't make it yesterday because I went to a Hockey game.

Can't go today because I am working a 30 hour shift.

But...I will definitely be at they gym tomorrow for my spinning class - I LOVE IT.

I did my three mile run outside today in beautiful 70 degree weather. I live in Kansas. This is not normal temps for January, but hey, I'll take it. It was hard and I am sore. I've been used to running on the treadmill. It amazes me how different it can be running outside and running on a treadmill.

Jumping up right now to workout and then off to get ready for work. I went back to work yesterday after about 6 weeks off. Felt weird but was great to see everyone there. Two more full days this week and then I'll probably be going part time so I can take care of my husband. It's good to have time with him. Yay exercise! Go team, go!

Morning ladies,

Shiny - Outside running...even if I ran, I would not be able to do it outside until about May; way too much snow!!!

Ezma - that's it, get up and do your stuff first thing.

Travel - spin class - I see them at the Y but I doubt I could keep up - they look like they are racing from the hounds of hell...full steam ahead!

lilMiss - Congratulations on completing your challege! YAY!!!

Rhapsody - 4 miles jogging on the tm - WOW!

Yesterday was my clinic day, so the only exercise was the 35 min brisk walk from the train station to the clinic. Today, I did shoulder workout with weights, and then did 30 min on the treadmill. I managed to reduce my time doing 2 miles by 2 minutes.

Tapshoes, thanks so much for your encouragement, you're always so upbeat, and I just want you to know I really appreciate it! :smile:

I thought I was going to be really sore after that long jog, but I took a nice hot bath that night, and it really seemed to relax and help. (Small NSV - I usually take showers, so it's been awhile since I've had a nice hot bubble bath. I just have to say how nice it is to have my body AND the bath Water both fit in the tub! :biggrin:)

ShinyHappymommy, I'm so jealous you can run outside! :wink: I'm like tapshoes, I gotta wait until April or May. Although I still can't run - I tried it on my treadmill, I get out of breath and don't last long. Maybe one day, I'm working on it.

Yesterday I only got 2 miles in on my treadmill . . . just a tiresome day, but I do try and get a little something in everyday. Writing things out here has been like a journal of sorts for me, it keeps me going!

Keep up the GREAT work all, and thanks for all your inspiration! :thumbup:

Just got back from my spinning class - LOVE IT!!!

Did a mile on the treadmill afterwards...

Even dragged 2 friends with me - hopefully, they will be willing to come back again.

Yes- I went to Curves for 30 minutes

[Shinyhappymommy 2]

I did my 50 minute t-tapp workout today. I'm so tired right now, so I'm not feeling chatty. Till next time. :biggrin:

Thanks Rhapsody! I too find that having this forum to write things to (good and bad) is one way to help keep me on track. And your NSV is a GREAT one!!

Spinning and then tm? WOW, you must have both great lungcapacity and leg muscles....I imagine I would be limping and whimpering after the spin class, no energy for tm too!

Yes- I went to Curves for 30 minutes

YAY! The main thing is to keep on keeping on....

I did my 50 minute t-tapp workout today.

Great Shiny - Someday I will look up the t-tapp to see just what's involved, but if coordination is a requirement, I'll have to pass!

Today I did 30 min of leg work (my calves are protesting even now); then did the tm for 30. My goal is to EVENTUALLY be able to run/jog for 30 min straight, but don't look for that achievement to be posted any time soon!!

Have a great weekend everyone, and remember to MOVE.

I ran 5 miles today! I can hardly believe it. It took me a little over an hour. I cannot believe I am running for an hour. Sweet.

Here's some info on T-tapp. It has nothing to do with dancing or tapping. It's named after Teresa Tapp who invented it. Here's the website.

Teresa explaining it and demonstrating a few exercises.

Nope - I was a complete and total blob all weekend...housecleaning was as ambitious as I got, and I didn't even do all of that. I'm feeling tired and not quite right...I don't know how else to describe it. Not sick, not in pain, just not right. No excuse though, so today I WILL go back on the tm...just not this morning.

Shiny - Congrats on the 5 mile run - that is FABULOUS!!! thanks for the T-Tapp link...it is amazing how just turning your arms can make a difference! I though was having a few challenges with keeping tucked and straight.

I did my treadmill this morning and hurt my knee.
