Tuesday Exercise!

One hour of Zumba today, and also some yoga when I get home.  I miss my lunchtime walks, but it is wayyyy too cold for those right now!

Good Morning Norm - I would die for a cup of coffee right now!

I think I need to back off my intesity at the gym.  I did 15 on the bike and 45 on the elliptical yesterday and my leg hurt so bad last night even after the ice, advil and stretches.  I just keep hearing Dr. Brader in my head, "If you aren't dripping with sweat it isn't a workout."  Those words haunt me!

So, today I am going to walk on the treadmill and a comfortable pace for as long as I can.  I HATE this injury.

My goal this year is to exercise 365 times...hiking, treadmill, karate...whatever...as long as I get in 365 sessions.  Last night I jumped on the treadmill around 11:30 and then I couldnt sleep.  I am going to try to get on it again tonight but earlier if possible.  I have  aRelay for Life meeting so hopefully it wont run too late. 

That's an intersting spin on a resoultion Heather. I like that.

I figured sometimes I exercise twice in a day...like go hiking and then go to karate class....so instead of saying i am going to exercise so many days or even every day, I decided to do 365 times.  Telling myself that i am going to exercise every single day is unrealistic, so this gives me a goal and a way to challenge myself and still give myself the flexibility that a busy life needs. 

Bike again tonight - been a real slacker thru the holidays so its almost like starting over but not quite. But I am committed to getting myself back up to speed on the damn thing.

Got a hoola hoop as a Christmas gift (at 52 years old I'm still getting toys!) and I suck at it right now but am going to keep practicing til I get it down - then maybe invest in a good weighted one for working out.

Just got home from Curves, now I'm heading downstairs to spend an hour on my treadmill.

10 minutes on the arc trainer (building up each week), an hour on the treadmill at 7 incline and 25 minute weight training after work.  Dripping with sweat and now tired.  Beth-- I also hear Dr. Brader's "If you aren't dripping with sweat it isn't a workout."
