Gym is open (Wednesday)

Lori is on vacation, so I'm opening the gym.  I haven't exercised yet today and am not sure I will have time.  Will try to squeeze in a short walk at lunch.   What did you do to move your body today? Kellie

Today is cardio and ab day, so I am planning 45 minutes of cardio ("Fat Burning Workout with Gilad" DVD) followed by 30 minutes of ab work ("Blast off Belly Fat" DVD).

Keep up the good work!  Your body appreciates it -  Kellie

I went to the rec center early this morning (well, early for me) and had to fight the seniors for the machines!  I did 20 minutes of intensive armbike, level 4 and 10 minutes of treadmill. I'll probably do the same thing again tonight (including fighting for the equipment -- Wed nights are "cancer survivors' class" and this particular group stays on the machines for hours).  One woman last week had been there three hours working out.  The armbike isn't that popular, so if the treadmills are too busy, I'll just do 30 minutes of armbike. It's hot and windy in Colorado today, reminds me of California (and makes me think about fire season). Kix

I hope you're able to get a machine tonight.  My gym is often super busy when I go at lunch, so I use whatever cardio equipment I can get, though I really prefer the elliptical machine.  Have a good workout tonight! Kellie

My sister called around 3:45 to say she had to attend a business meeting out PJ's way tonight, so I took that opportunity to head back over to the rec center, where I did 20 more minutes of armbike and 10 more minutes of treadmill.  I like that I can walk 10 minutes on the treadmill now before I feel tired, and that's after not doing treadmill since Blobby was removed back in April. I made it just in time to get my workout done before the thundering herds arrived.  Even so, there were plenty of folks working out while I was there.  I chatted briefly with an older man and his adult daughter (she looked close to my age)  who were touring the rec center.  They had never seen an armbike before, so I told them how it worked while I was exercising.  The dad liked the armbike and said he would definitely use it, so I think he'll be signing up for a rec membership. So, to make a long story short, I exercised for one hour today.  If I keep up this workout pace, maybe I can look as fine as Lorraine!   Kix

I will be going to the gym tonight will be working on weights and walking for 60 min.  Lorraine

Have a great workout, Lorraine.  My schedule changed, so I'll be able to head to the gym after work.  Think I'll do 60 minutes of cardio - maybe split between the elliptical and the bike.   Kellie

I did Just My Size Yoga tape and walked this morning for about 20 minutes.  I plan to scrub the bathroom tonight.  Father in law comes to visit soon and I don't want him to know I am a bad housekeeper! I didn't work out yesterday, but it felt really good today.

How do you like the yoga tape?  I've taped a couple yoga programs from the fitness channel on my cable, but it looks too complicated for a novice like me.   Good luck with the bathroom scrubbing - I hate housework and do as little as possible!   Kellie
