Let's keep 'er rolling along. Same rules as always: none. All you have to do is list your exercises you are doing. Just a way of keeping us accountable to each other.

As for me today, nada. Slept in after two nights of softball and a fill yesterday. Just didn't feel like my innards could take the jostling of running on the treadmill after the fill. I can still feel the swelling a bit.:thumbup:

I'll get back to it tomorrow. If nothing else, I'll hit the elliptical.

Im very active. I have a 2.5 year old son and a great dane puppy. so i get my workout daily.

But i walk on the treadmile for 45 min. on level 6 at the highest incline it will go. Then since i had a c-section my muscle in my abs were cut i can do 200 crunches and feel nothing untill the next day. So i do that daily. I also have a bootcamp abs video i do everynight!

I also play softball on Mondays & Tuesdays and go horse back riding on Saturdays.

Holy Crap!:ohmy: We have a new leader.:smile2:

Congrats on the job your doing. By way, I thought great dane young were supposed to be called "colt".:tt2:

I swam tonight. Not sure of the yardage yet. (I'm waiting for the email with the workout list to come out.) We did a lot of stuff with kicking so yardage won't be as high as some weeks though.

And I got out of the pool from the sides on the first try!

I'm going to walk at lunchtime!

Great job on making your goal! Now, try to push a little more.

And trust me, he will push me as hard as he can. He may be 13 yrs older, but has run marathons before. I'll be sucking wind, but won't quit unless I drop:cursing:

At the end, I pushed him to go the extra .25 mile just to get one up on him.

WOO HOO! I DID IT! I made 10,000 steps yesterday!!!!!! And i'm going to do the same today!!!!! :thumbup:

Hail to the Chief and Chief-ette!!!!!

Hugs to all! I leave on a 2 week vacation to Italy next week and know i'll be walking my butt off, so i'm just saying here that until June 2nd, my plan is to 'walk walk walk walk walk', and then, when i get to the hotel, walk some more!!!!! :thumbup:

Ok, to update from my run with the boss man yesterday, he did exactly what I thought he would do: KICK MY ARSE!

We did at least 3 miles. I do 5k's, so this should not have been a problem. However, I don't know if it was the softball the night before (very few beverages), or the pace, or the time of day, or the fact that he kept asking questions and making me talk, but I wanted to stop after only 1.25 miles. He kept me moving. Would allow me to slow the tempo down and then gradually ramp it up again. When we finished the run, we went up to the fitness ctr and proceeded to do sit ups (w/o anyone holding feet down), pushups, crunches, bicycle kicks, another ab exercise I don't know the name of, and then more pushups. He just racked them all out like it was nothing. I was able to do a little over 60% of what he was doing as far as reps.

Joke is on him though. Got done with it and I immediately asked to do this routine once a week.:tt1: Just, not on the day after softball.

After stretching out whatever soreness I had this morning, I ran 2.25 miles outside again. So, while it hurt yesterday, I was able to recover quickly.

Thanks everyone for the good jobs! make me SMILE...

i started swimming laps on the nights i don't have my son which is Monday (after ball), Thursdays and Saturdays.

Im getting there!

Thurs. was Bike to Work Day. So I did. Then I biked home. It's not a practical ride for every day but once a year is fine. :grouphug: 18 miles to work, 21 on the way home (I got lost).

You all are incredible. I definately gained some inspiration reading this tonight! I'll give a try to posting my daily exercise. Seems like you all are a great support to each other!

Today I joined a gym after not having a membership for about 8 months or so. My eyes were wide in this place cause it is about 10 times the size of the YMCA I was going to before. I'm pretty excited. Trying to find that motivation I used to have. So, today I only had time to hop on the treadmill for 30 minutes. I mostly walked but threw in some 1 minute runs. Tomorrow I signed up for an intro to spin class. I've never done it before. I imagine tomorrow night I'll feel like crap!

I am new to this section of the forum, and am really glad I found my way over. I have been banded for 5 months now and just joined the YMCA a month ago. I knew that I needed to get moving. I started walking on the treadmill 3 times a week for 30 minutes. I am now committing myself to go the Y 5 days a week and walk at least 45 minutes each visit.

Today I walked for one hour, most of the time at 3.5. I went to 4.0 for 10 minutes but then slowed it down a bit. I read while I walk and I have a hard time walking at a 4.0 and reading. I need to get some audio books on my iPhone :scared2:! That should solve that problem!!!

Happy exercising all !

Today my tri club's workout was in my town. So I rode my bike to it. :rolleyes2: It was only 4 miles each way. But then I swam about 2200 yards (doing a "Cross-Fit swim workout with laps and push-ups interspersed) and ran for 20 min.

I don't usually swim that much but it wasn't that hard. I think I need to come to do more laps when I do my swim workouts.

So today I took my first ever cycle class. HOLY HECK! :laugh: First I did intro to cycle for 30 minutes then took the 45 minute class right after. It was so incredibly hard for me.... had no idea what I was getting myself into. I felt like an idiot! Especially during the parts were she told us to stand up. I had NO idea how hard that would be. I don't really ever want to do that again, but I will. I'll make myself go again if it kills me!

I'm going to walk at lunchtime and I'm going to Aqua step in the evening.

Yesterday I skipped the gym, but worked very hard. Raked the back yard and did some gardening. Both activities had me breaking a major sweat :laugh:!!

YOU GO GIRL!!! I did a spin class ONCE!! I swore I would never do it again!! It just was not for me! I think I bruised my tailbone.... my rear was sore for almost two weeks because of being on that seat for over an hour! I was just NOT ready for such a class! I think too much weight on a tiny little seat did me in!!

No exercise over the weekend. Just too busy.

Did upper body circuit training yesterday followed by 35 minutes on elliptical. Then, home to mow the backyard. Played fetch with my GSD. Then, tried to get him to go out running with me. Don't know if it was because of the fetch or his age, but he was only able to make it about 1/3 of a mile before lagging too much. Didn't want to kill him, so we walked the rest.

This morning, I ran the loop bossman took me on last Thur. Bastard lied to me.:purplebananna: Said it was a just under 3 miles. Turns out it was 3.6 miles. He really did push me. Oh well, I survived last week and today was easier. Had my normal running partner and another Sgt. here at work with me this morning. Went at a nice pace. Have to do it again this week.

Legs tonight.
