April Exercise Challenge

Ok, here we go again. I'll start it up:

3 mile/27:30 min run this morning. I'll definately make it in tonight to get legs done. Add in a little more cardio as well.

Let's see if we can increase our new "faces" in here as well.:thumbdown:

I skipped today too. I'm supposed to be tapering and Sat. was kind of brutal.

Started Zumba class tonight. I really enjoy it and it is a good workout I think it will be a great addition to my fitness regime!!!

Hit the gym yesterday afternoon for upper body. Was able to bull my way through that, but cardio was too much to ask for after only 3 hrs of sleep. Today, I will hit the gym for legs and cardio.

No official gym exercise but we raked the yard, weeded, trimmed, etc for 2.5 hours yesterday. Way more exhausting than the gym, and I can't wait to get back tonight. :(

yesterday - not much of anything

today - 45min session w/trainer: upper body weights / abs / hamstring & glutt band exercises. 20min physical therapy on ankle.

going to try doing some walking tomorrow on the ankle - take it slow; it seems to be getting stronger & no cardio for 2wks is a drag.

I need this badly! I don't have any specific numbers, but I want to get in a 20-30 min walk on the treadmill (with short intervals of jogging) 3 times a week in addition to walking the nature trail 5 times a week. Can't wait to report progress! :thumbdown:

Hi Everyone! I just started the couch to 5K. Today was Week One day 3. It was my best day so far although I think I will repeat week one for another week. I have been having back pain towards the end of the workout. My legs are a little sore but its my back that bothers me. weird!

This months exercise so far -

Wednesday April 1 - C25K W1D1

Thursday April 2 - 1 mile walk with my doggies

Friday April 3 - 1 mile walk with my doggies

Saturday April 4 - nuttin honey

Sunday April 5- 5 mile walk in DC for the cherry blossom festival

Monday April 6 - off

Tuesday April 7 - C25K W1D2

Tues. is Track Workout. The rain held off. I had to run through the cool down and stretching period to get it all in, but I did it! Yeah, me!

Ok, finally got off my lazy arse and into the gym for cardio. Ran 3 miles in 27:49. Followed that with 10 minute cooldown.

Tomorrow I'll get up and hit the gym in the a.m. for cardio. Then, tomorrow afternoon will be upper body.

Swimming! No coach though. She's sick. There was a workout on the board, but, um, I didn't do it. :blink: I decided to see how far I could swim without stopping instead. I kind of lost track, but I'm pretty sure I did at least 1000 m. I have to 800 m for my triathlon in 1.5 weeks so I was happy. But tired.

Set my alarm wrong last night and overslept.:sad: Didn't get into the gym this morning. However, got up just now and did light 3 mile jog in 30 min. First 2.5 miles @ .5% incline. Last .5 mile @ 0. Followed that with 10 minute cooldown.

This afternoon will be upper body and a little more cardio.

I'm trying to taper like I'm supposed to. It's hard. I did a 20 min. bike ride and feel SO LAZY.

Don't overdo it leading up to the tri. You want/need all the energy you can get.

I did upper body circuits last night. Felt a little weak but plowed through.

This a.m. I did 2 miles in 18:28 @ 0 incline. Tonight will be legs again.

Today we swam for 1800 yards and then ran for 40 min.
