Thursday Excercise
Good Morning Everyone!
I did a 2 mile run this morning. Can you say that you guys are lucky that I did not make the local news- "Local Woman in coma from jogging"? lol. I truly admire those people who can run. I still cannot run so the last 2 miles I just walked/jogged. I did 4 miles total. That will be it for this girl today. What is everyone else doing to move today?

Congrats on your 2 miles - woo-hoo!!! And as humid as it was today??? I would have been dying - I was sweating just from walking the dog in that muck this morning.
Depends on what my evening brings on whether or not I work-out - I may skip tonight as my back is killing me right now due to my TOM (some day that will go away...I hope). I have to make an ice cream cake tonight for work tomorrow and have to go to the store for the ingredients, so I may skip a work-out tonight, but we'll see.

Shilpa, I am with you about the running! I keep telling myself maybe I'd like running better when I lose more weight, but it's not looking too likely that I'll ever love it the way some people do. Good thing I have other exercises that I do enjoy!
Today I'm going to a Power Step class after work. I'm also going to get in some walking during my lunch hour, at least 1 mile or so.

Good morning - and good for you, Shilpa! A little variation never hurts - addresses different muscles and movements than always doing the same thing.
This morning at the humidity controlled GYM (there's no way I would have run - couldn't have gotten any oxy from that humid muck), I did 25 mins on the treadmill at a steady speed of 4mph, but varied inclines to maintain a HR of 120 (fat burning range). Then topped that off with 5 mins on the arm bike, variable resistance, at 20 rpm (measured at 85 cals). Whooee.
THEN, got out of the shower and realized that I had left my work clothes at home. Just great. Talk about buzzkill.
Sigh.

morning Shilpa and everyone else.. Good for you on the 2 miles!
Well, Rocco cancelled on me yesterday because he lost track of time.. damn him. I still worked out, but since I wasn't feeling so hot, I didn't push myself as much as I would have had he been there. BUT, at least I stayed when I wanted to just leave and crawl into bed.
Today, we are SUPPOSED to be meeting at 4. He better be there today. We will do triceps, calves and abs. I want to get in a good ab workout today and I know the only way I'll get the variety of work that I want is if he is there. I have sent him a couple of reminder texts today, so unless he is tired of me bugging him, he'll be there.
