today - 45 mins Curves TFY - 7,390 minutes GTTD - 45,163 minutes <waving back at Hermi, Yankee, Calamity and Sea> Congrats, Hermi, you go, girl!!! Calamity, I couldn't get my leg up high enough to kick a wall, much less try a split on it. Glad you didn't hurt anything vital. Sea, just been there, done that for the last 3 weeks. That flu has a mean streak. Get well soon! Yankee, 60 minutes spinning? Don't ya ever get dizzy?

02/09 - 40 minutes GTTD = 45,203 minutes Lumbele: No, nothing vital. Just my head - which clearly I don't use, lol. I have decided against attempting that move again however, which at least shows I can learn from experience. Take a word from me and if you happen to come across some off-the-wall exercise in a fitness book, don't decide on the spot to try it, lol. I'm glad you got over your flu bug!

Hi, Nic! Lemme see if I can explain: * On any given day, you post: 1) the date, 2) how many minutes you worked out 3) what you did during that time (if you like) * Then, there are 3 options for adding to the TOTALS (in bold and in blue above): 1) The most important one is the GTTD (in bold/blue). The GTTD is the GROUP minutes in TOTAL since the beginning of the thread. That number just keeps on growing all the time. Everyone adds their daily minutes to this number. 2) TTD = YOUR personal total for as long as you have been posting on the thread. A "forever" total! 3) TF06 = your personal total for 2006. I just rejoined the thread again recently, so I wasn't sure what my overall "forever" total should be, so I elected to track my 2006 totals only. Hermione has joined me. So she and I, instead of tracking our TTD (which again is your personal total since the beginning) are posting our TF06, which means Total For 2006. ------------- Does that make sense???? Hope you're well, and hope you'll be joining us. I find it very motivating. I've had a bad cold and some dental work done, so I haven't worked out since Tuesday, but I'm excited about getting to Spinning class tomorrow.

Thanks, Yankee! I do plan on joining in...I've been on a diet/workout regimine for nearly a month now and have dropped about 20lbs. My starting weight was 243 and I'm down to 221...my goal for now is to get under 220; then, 210 and so on and so forth. so here goes...my first log in this thread: 2/13 - Cardio/low impact: 30 mins.; Strength and sculpt: 30 mins; stretching: 15. TDD = 75 minutes GTTD = 45,463 Is that right? Yankee, what is a spinning class? If you don't mind me asking and I hope you get to feeling better.

Welcome, Nickovtyme! Looks like you did it perfectly! And wow - great job on your new workout/diet regime. 20 lbs is amazing. I have the workout side down pat, but need to work on my diet. That's next... (hopefully). My problem is I don't eat enough, I think. And when I do eat it's the wrong things. Regarding Spinning, it's a group indoor cycling class on special stationary bikes. NOT a whirling dervish session LOL!!! With the bikes, you increase or decrease a tension knob to make it harder to bike (like biking up a hill), or make it easier and bike faster. There are intervals where you bike with a lot of tension and are standing, then fast fast intervals when you're sitting. We wear heart rate monitors throughout and constantly monitor our breathing and heart rate. It's done to music with an instructor giving you instructions through a personal headset. It's a really great cardio workout because it's all non-impact -- easy on the joints and muscles -- but at the same time it really kicks your ass. Here's a link http://www.spinning.com/page.asp?id1=13&nLevel=1 Again, WELCOME! P.S. -- WELCOME BACK SEAMONKEY!

Thanks again, Yankee. I'm glad to be a part of it and thanks for the explanation. I did have pictures of people standing in a room, twirling around till they could no longer stand up. Thanks, Seamonkey and WB!

02/16 - 40 minutes GTTD = 46,480 minutes Nickovtyme: Yes, stretching can count towards your total time! I practice some stretches & balances most evenings so I guess I could start adding that to my own logs. Good luck with your program!
