Day 6: No Excuse Exercise Challenge

Hi all, Since I plan on sleeping in tomorrow, I fgured I should post Day 6 tonight. Saturday is my last day to met my exercise goal for the week. I'm so excited. I might just work out on Sunday for the hell of it. LOL Ummm, I went to the bowling alley today and bowled 3 games by myself. It took about 50 minutes, does that count as exercise? My face was a little sweaty and my right arm feels tight. What do you think? ********************************************************* My Goal: Exercise 4 days for 1 hour. Progress: Day 1: Elliptical 30 minutes, Walking 30 minutes Day 2: Elliptical 25 minutes, Walking 35 minutes Day 3: BREAK Day 4: Elliptical 30 minutes, Walking 30 minutes Day 5: I will count 50 minutes of bowling for now. I'm not sure if I should look at it as exercise. Day 6: Elliptical 30 minutes and probably 30 minutes of lower body exercises Shanell

My goal for the week... Do NOT skimp on my cardio...get my 20 minutes on the boring treadmill in each time I go to the gym, and make sure I up my stepper time and rate and keep it up...no making it easier when I'm close to being done and exhausted. Also to make sure I do my free arm weights at least twice and to have my partner give me more resistance on our ab exercises. I met my goal today again. I even added free weights to my treadmill time...I figured pumping my arms with weights is better than pumping them with nothing. Christine

Goal for the week: 4 days of at least 45 minutes of activity (I'm on the road until Wednesday, so I may as well be realistic) Monday: Walked 2+ miles in downtown Chicago, plus spent 11 hours on my feet at the trade show. Tuesday: Walked 1.5 miles at lunch and 2 miles at dinner, plus spent another 10+ hours on my feet. Wednesday: In addition to running through airports, I did 50 minutes on the treadmill. Thursday: Tried a new class at my gym tonight called Body and Soul. It was as though you did a fusion of salsa and hip-hop dancing and just kept moving for a full hour. I was sweating so bad when it was over, I actually took off my t-shirt and drove home from the gym in just my sports bra and shorts. Friday: 55 minutes on the treadmill at 3.3-3.8 mph and inclines varying from 3.9-10.9. I'm getting to the point I'm having trouble making my heart rate targets without the massive inclines. Saturday: Swam at the pool for about an hour. Blessings, Jennifer 253 / 158 / 137
