Gym is open . . .

My New Year's Resolution I resolve to do my best to reach the goals I set for myself. 1. Make a friend. 2. Make healthy food choices. 3. Design an exercise regimen and follow it. Revisit the plan and make neccesary adjustments. Be accountable to the regimen. Number 3 is what this post is about. Exercise and accountability. I will attempt to post daily my exercise attempts and I ask that you reply with what you did today (or yesterday). I am hoping the group setting will help keep me (and you!) motivated. So after all that hot air, here is what I did today: Cardio: 1.75 mile walk on the HS track - 33 min Strength: Bench Press Front Press Dumbbell Pullover Tricep Extension Upright Row One-arm Dumbbell Raise Preacher Curl Did you get a workout today? Seven

Good idea, Seven. We should do this daily like the food journal. Anyway for 1/2, I did: One hour cardio (mixed impact) upper body weight training After work today (1/3), I plan 45 minute cardio dance class lower body weight training ab work

Great workout! 1 hour of cardio - wow - I'd keel over! Keep up the good work.

I got a work out just walking through the store today!!! Got a gym membership for Christmas though, and as soon as the surgeon clears me to resume exercise I'll be in on this!!! I NEED to rebuild all the lost muscle!!! Laurie

Hey, ya do what ya can do. I hope you get everything taken care of soon and start feeling 100%. The gym membership was such a great present. You will be working out before you know it. Keep posting whatever you can accomplish each day.

Seven, I met my neighbor at 5:15 freakin' am this morning. This is what we did at the gym: 25 minutes treadmill (3.5 mph at 2.0 incline) 35 minutes strength training: reverse crunches, 2 arm dumbbell raise on stability ball, machine leg press, both upper and lower legs, machine leg curl, lateral backward fly. This weird thing my trainer has me do where you run from side to side like a football player with a resistance band between your ankles. Stair stepper exercises. Was hard this morning as I hadn't exercised in 3 days...felt like a million when we finished though! Lori 384/263.5/168

Woohoo. Way to go! At 5:30, my exercise was limited to rolling over in bed.
