February 2009 Exercise Challenge

[MacMadame 81]

I did the swim thing for 1 hour 15 min. I'm not sure how far I went. Did one 500, a 6 x 100 and a 400 and some other stuff. I lost track. We did a lot of drills and I learned how to do my hands properly and that helped me swivel my hips.

No treadmill today, my lower back has been letting me know that 2-3 wks straight of running is not what it wants.:biggrin: So, did 45 minutes on elliptical, pausing every 10 minutes to pump out 25 pushups. Btwn that and some before and after, I'm to 225 pushups already today.

Tonight will be upper body and a little more cardio.

Nothing this weekend as it is my 2nd "guys" weekend. Gotta take some time off:tt2:

Had a bad virus this week, so not much to report....

Monday- 2.2 miles treadmill (run/walk)

Today- 4 miles treadmill (run/walk), 45 minutes strength training (arms and legs)

[MacMadame 81]

Stationary bike. 45 min.

I've started adding in hill work. It's weird because the hills are so hard but overall I go more miles and my average heart rate is lower and my calories burned is lower. So, in some ways, it appears to not be as good a workout. But my METS where the same.

Free weights today and a 45 min spin class

I have to eat out tonight and tomorrow and i really dont like eating out any more.

Hey Warriors,

Haven't posted in a while - January was NOT a good month for my workouts...

Back on track now, though - been walking every day at work now that the sidewalks are much clearer. Still haven't been in the gym, work has been a bit crazy and I don't have any energy when I leave.

Will be going to the gym this weekend to hopefully re-jump start my habit. DH does maintenance at a gym and they were tossing rowing machines, so he brought one home. Already downloaded a workout for it to my IPhone, so I'll be breaking that in this weekend.

Ya'll put this sometimey-jock-wanna-be to shame!:ohmy:

Today- 5 miles on treadmill (ran the first 1.5 then did intervals)

[TQUAD64 9]

Yesterday: Unexpected road trip out of town, so no exercise.

Today: 4 miles, 1% incline, for 60 minutes. I was able to go 1 extra mile, by decreasing the incline. My goal now is to do 5 miles in 60 minutes by March 15.:frown:

Georgia Girl sorry to hear you were sick.

Lulu, let me know how golfing is with the Wii.

[whosyadaddy 0]

Today an 11mile run. (about 1 hr 40mins)

[MacMadame 81]

I did a brick!

We biked for about 8 miles (an up and back), then practiced our transitions (mine was about 30 seconds as I just took off my bike helmet and gloves and put on my running hat) and then ran.

My legs were like jelly though. Yikes.

Today: 4 miles at 1% incline for 60 minutes. I swear tomorrow I am going to do yoga and upper body weights.:thumbup:

Happy Valentines Day!

Lulu, let me know how golfing is with the Wii.

i love it - it really helped my putting game.!.

yesterday 18 holes, we walked it and carried our clubs as well. that made it interesting & don't plan on doing that again - i like the cart a little too much.

georgia - hope your feeling better.

mac - like the new avtr.

today - day off.

[TQUAD64 9]

Today: 40-minutes of yoga and I am not really sure what I think of it yet, other than I have no flexibility at this point.:thumbup:
