Topic: RE: Weekly Workout - January 7, 2017

Last week did not go quite as planned due to school being closed on Friday which meant no fitness classes. But, in good news, I did yoga for at least 15 minutes every day and saw notable improvement even over the course of those 7 days. I'm feeling a lot more hopeful about my recovery after 7 months of sedentary living while healing from surgeries!

And the weather should be nice for getting outside this week which means I can get some walking in - the first step to getting back to running.

Monday - yoga at home
Tuesday - walking, yoga stretching
Wednesday - pilates class, yoga class
Thursday - walking, yoga stretching
Friday - zenga class, tai chi class, pilates class
Saturday - walking, yoga stretching OR yoga at home
Sunday - whichever I didn't do on Saturday

Minus 33 with wind chill or was that the air temp? Holy moly! I can't complain since we were only in single digits for temp and around 0 with wind chill.

Keep on losing!

So, we've made it through the first week of the year - Yippee! It's blasting cold here in Philly and may get warmer by the end of the week, but we've been in the teens for about a week, which is unusual for us. Glad I do indoor workouts!

Sunday - Sang two services at church (about 3 hours on my feet, etc.) I usually burn as many calories as gentle yoga.

Monday - Fencing 2.5 hours - with a private lesson - tournament on Saturday.

Tuesday - 1 hour with my trainer

Wednesday - 2 hours fencing

Thursday - Rest

Friday - Pilates and lifting 2 hours

Saturday - Fencing tournament

Hope you are all staying warm wherever you are and have a great week!

Keep on losing!

Topic: RE: Bike or walk?

I think the stationary bike is better then walk for losing body fat fast...a person burns about 513 calories in a 30-minute run at 7 mph .so if u run one an half hour per day u can lose your body fat too fast.

Proud of you and you can do this. We will be here when you need us. I keep thinking in the coming years of ironman but it is the money that stops me. So expensive and would have to travel to do it.

Topic: An interesting view on the gym...From a bariatric surgeon

Someone posted this on the Men's Forum. I viewed it and it made a lot of sense. He didn't go into great detail, but most of his reasoning was pretty sound. Thoughts??
