8/19- treadmill- 35 minutes; free weights/stretches- 25 minutes; total- 60 minutes

yankee, i sweat a lot too! always have. sometimes at the end of a workout, salt will have dried on my face from the intensity of the workout! it makes me feel like i am cleansing my body, you know?

calamity, i like that article. it didn't sound corny to me. i like #2-- i have already decided that if i successfully run the 10K in march, i am treating myself to a new tattoo. a 4-leaf clover on my abdomen, is what i am leaning towards.

i need to work on #5. i've been slack since hurting my calf. there were some things i could have done, but i was so bummed that i couldn't work out the way i like to-- very intensely-- that i didn't work out at all. i really have got to work on this all or nothing approach of mine. for the next 10 days, my goal is to work out every day, even if it is just for 20 minutes and even if it is something that doesn't make me sweat!

8/20- MTV Advanced Workout with Yoga- 85 minutes

Dear heavens, it kicked my butt. On the positive side, my calf must have really healed quickly. There were about 200 jumping jacks interspersed through this workout and I did all of 'em! I'm very lucky. It could have been so much worse. I may try running on Sunday. Have a good weekend, Fellow Workouters! This is still my favorite place to be. :-)

Darn it! Hermi worked out today. Now, if I continue just lazing around, I'll look even more lazy than I would have otherwise. What to do? I'll go back to my book and think about it later. We've had rain all day and now it's dark as night. I'm watching American Bandstand 50th anniversary show, a repeat, while I'm not working out. Ok, back to the other chair to read now!

Yay! I did it! I pushed myself out the door when the rain finally stopped and got to experience another pretty sunset on my walk.

8/21: 40 minutes, walked

Happy weekend, everyone!

Yay, Mak!

I did yoga tonight because I am very sore from the MTV workout yesterday. All those jumping jacks, lunges and squats,and weights-- whew! I'm hoping the stretches from yoga will alleviate the soreness some.

It was so funny because my kittens kept playing around me and whenever I got into any pose that brought my hair close to the floor, like--

dog
downward facing dog


they would circle around my arms and swat at my hair and had me giggling instead of getting zen-like!


8/21- Part 2- P.M. Yoga- 20 minutes

Okay, here are my updated goals....

1. run 3 miles by the last day of summer (Sept. 22? or thereabouts)

2. do both a.m. and p.m. yoga tapes 5x week, in addition to more aerobic workout.

3. do strength training 3x week.

I know if I post it here, I am more apt to do it!!


8/22- a.m. yoga- 15 minutes

the a.m. yoga tape is supposed to energize you for the day. it is taught by a man in a speedo!

i wonder if that is what is supposed to be the most energizing??

8/22: 70 minutes, walked and mowed lawn

Good luck, Herm. That's a very rigorous plan, along with working full time! A 15 minute energizing tape sounds like a good way to start the day, especially if mr. speedo is cute.

Mak, he's okay, but no man should wear speedos except Olympic swimmers, IMHO!

I was quite irritated with my grand plan to start a.m. yoga at 6 a.m. this morning, but I did it. I've decided to wait for the end of the day and post my times at once. It makes it easier when I do the charts. Speaking of which, I'll be doing the chart for last week tomorrow, so if anyone has any hours to report, or has a correction to a previous chart to be made, let me know. :-)

Hi guys -- I'm headed out of town for work today, so I'll likely be out of commission until at least Friday. Have a great week, everyone!

08/20 – Upper Body Yoga = 25 minutes

Hermione69: My kitties do that too. And I’m glad you liked that fitness tip list – it helped me too, which is why I wanted to share it. It was from that book I mentioned a while back and for each section there’s a “10 ways…” list (for your sleep, spirituality, body image, etc.). They may just be breezy USA Today-style news bites but, for me, they’re great for highlighting new ideas (visit a labyrinth!), reminding me of old but helpful info (get regular exposure to daylight!), or simply encouraging positive behavior (do something you’ve never done before!). It’s like what Schoolhouse Rock told us – “Knowledge is Power!”, lol. Of course it’s up to me to actually put that knowledge to use though. I’m working on it.

Being a finicky eater, I could never follow a diet plan that’s strictly outlined. (Btw when I say “diet” I mean a healthy eating plan, not a scheme to lose weight.) In my view, several appealing features to this book’s diet section are that the recipes are adjusted for individual servings, there’s a relatively generous selection of vegetarian meals, and many of the meal & snack choices are simple, plain foods.

I’m inspired by your exercise goals! In addition to my main workouts, I used to schedule mini yoga sessions during work breaks or fit in short dancey workouts when I got home. The yoga helped with tension and the cardio gave me energy and lifted my mood (plus helped my woeful coordination, lol). I really need to go back to that! Work and other things in my life have been so stressful lately.


Yankee: I'm sorry I don’t know what your cousin's situation is but hope everything works out okay. Best wishes for your trip too.

YAY Autumn -- join us please! Yes, we just post whatever exercise we've done for the day. Usually the time in minutes -- and we often say WHAT we did during that time. (And of course, we chat about tips, our progress, encourage each other, etc. a lot -- usually in small type!) I hope you'll join us.

Hi Autumn! Please, jump right in! I like to think this is a special group but we're not exclusionary . And besides, you already know the secret handshake (posting in tiny type).

P.S. Hermione, I forgot to write that I'm glad your calf is doing so much better.

We'd love to have you, Autumn! Hop on in, the water's fine!

Thanks, Calamity. I think I might have gotten carried away with the jumping jacks on Friday because I've noticed when I go up and down stairs the last couple of days, that I feel a "pulling" sensation in my calf. It doesn't HURT, but it makes me cautious. I think I will hold off on running for a few more days. Will probably treadmill tonight.

Thanks guys. I think that having a forum like this will help me 'stay the course.' I'm not doing all the workouts I was in June/July but did want to start walking again. The pedometer I have doesn't let me know how far I've walked only how many steps but I hope to upgrade once I'm able. (do you post distance? I've seen the time and the name of the video/program done/used.)

Hermione, I've been meaning to ask you, did you always run/jog or is it something you've taken up recently?
