Wk 2 Day 1: No Excuse Exercise Challenge

Hi All, So you want to continue for a second week, so lets do it!!!!! My goal this week is increase the intensity and time on the elliptical. So, now I'm going to do 1 hour on the elliptical and 30 minutes of walking. I'm aiming to do this for four days. What are your plans? Shanell

Goal for wk 2 run 3.5 miles mwf Eliptical 30 min higher intensity add bike 30 min and continue on legs t-th do min of 100 situps m-f rest on sat and sun eat less carbs!!!! Today ran little more than 3.5 miles 100 situps legs get tired and crampy toward the end so i need to work on my physical endurance. My breathing continues to be good. keep up the hard work. dont forget to push yourself. dont just settle for mediocore(sp?) Leann 235/141/125 oh yea lost 2 lbs this week! Hopefully it wont come back!

Guess what? I pushed myself tonight. I actually did the elliptical for 60 minutes at a higher intensity. I wanted to die, but now I feel soooo good. Normally, I would stay at a resistance of 1 or 2, but tonight I got as high as 9. The average was 6, which I thought was hard until I did the 9. After that the 6 felt good. LOL I burned 966.8 calories and did 2989 revs. For every rev, I just felt like the fat was melting from my thighs. I also walked early today for 30 minutes. I feel so good right now. I DIDN'T settle for mediocore today. Thanks for your encouragement. Now I'm going to take a shower and take a tylenol PM. Shanell

I'm not increasing my goals for the week because it will be tough enough just meeting the ones I had last week. Again, just swim for 1 hour 5 times this week (starting on Sunday). One day is done and now I'm trying to decide whether to go home from work and then the pool or go to the pool straight from work. It is so hot, I don't know if I'll want to get out once I'm home!

My goal this week is to get to the gym at least 4 times for a minimum of an hour each time. It's going to be a crazy and HOT week so this is pretty much as good as it gets...getting my behind to the gym is going to be a feat in itself with the schedule I've got going on. I did make it there tonight and did a variety of cardio for an hour so I'm happy with that. Christine

Hi Shanell, Same goal as last week, 3 days at gym (2 days cardio, 1 water aerobic class), 2 days at Curves. Diane C.

Mys goal is 5 days of excercise. Today I did a bit over an hour with my trainer and wqalkding the treadmill. PS, my trainer is trying to kill me!

Goal: Four days of 1 hour+ of activity. Today: Nada. Worked late on some metrics for the morning revenue meeting. Blessings, Jennifer 253 / 157 / 137
