Fitness Fun - March 9th
Good morning LW's....
Today is my long day so no fitness fun for me...
How about you? What are you up to today?
What is the one thing (activity or class) that you saw and said "hell no..." but might want to try it now...lol For me, it is those spinning classes...they scare me! I don't know why but they do.
Well, I gotta jam, i'll check in later on today. Have a great day!!

Curves done already for me. And the more I use the stretching machine (actually, stand cause it doesn't move) the more I like it.
One of the staff at curves is an X body builder. She said if I would get some 5lb weights, she would get me started on some exercises to help my arms and legs. So I'm going in Thurs evening and she will get me going. I'm excited about moving to the next level. I've upped my efforts on the circuit both on the recovery boards and the machines, added Zumba and am ready for more. Whooooooooo

Between 35-40 BMI? join us on the Lightweight board. the Lightweight Board
Hm, nothing really scares me as far as trying exercise anymore, but I always get terrified before TKD tests, and DH and I are facing taking our 4th dan black belt tests this June! I am FREAKED OUT. BUT.. I will be a much lighter me, and will hopefully perform a whole lot better! I also hate tournaments and demonstrations, but I do them anyway. I try to push myself beyond my comfort zone when I can. I think it helps make me a better teacher and public speaker, because there is NOTHING more vulnerable than doing exercise or physical feats in front of a crowd! If I can do that, I can sure talk in front of colleagues or in front of a class of hormone-driven young adults! :D
Well look at that. I just gave myself the pep talk I needed to finish my research presentation for my student professional group (Hispanic and Lusophone Linguistics Association) tomorrow. :D
I also plan to get to TKD tonight, but with the snow (STOP ALREADY!) and tight schedule, I don't know if we will make it.

Did Curve's this morning before work so I don't have to think about it anymore...
I hope to take my 2 year old to the play ground, but there's been a threat of a flood warning today (no rain as of yet, it'll likely start as soon as I pick him up and get him home). Failing that (or in addition to it?) I want to start using the Wii Fit again. I was at a friends house over the weekend and me, her, and her daughter all took turns on their and got in close to an hour each. Reminded me how much I enjoyed that little jerk of a board

Biking scares me. On a bike, on a street, with traffic. Being heavy, the momentum really takes over and whimpy bike brakes can't stop it. Also, the tiny seat... Ick, and hurt!!! So no spinning class for me, but I am doing the stationary recumbent bike. Now that's my non-speed.
Today, did 45 minutes recumbent bike, treadmill jog 2 miles, walk 1 mile. Oh my achey breaky body.

i like the MUSIC !! sounds like a disco inferno in there with a buncha madmen and defined women pedaling so hard theyre about to take FLIGHT lol .....
i think im going to get that insanity thingy that fits over Ur door - the one with the ankle straps and handles and elastic bands and exercises called " the beast " , the "maniac" etc....
I love doing things called the Beast on general principles ! And I figure if I can do 15 minutes of hard core jumping around as an intro ... I wont be bored and I might really actually start to sweat... something that is NOT at all easy for me to do even when running ....
The last few days have been insane work wise but i did do some lifting of mulch bags , dirt bags etc ... and planting also ... a TON of jumping in and out of trucks ... running around the city ...
In the end if I take the train into the city for work I HAVE to register 3-4 miles walked by the end of the day . They say most Manhattanites ( without cars ) actually walk between five and six miles a day just getting around ... EVERY day.
Tomorrow : I run ...without fail ;) .

The class I've been planning to take for a few years was coed boxing and kickboxing at Chelsea Piers ...
I love working out with light and heavy bags in a gym that has them... talk about working up a sweat ! And its just great fun getting into the rhythm of pounding the things with nice resounding THUNKS....
yep I would love to install a heavy bag in my own home gym but it needs to be attached to a beam and somehow I don't think the landlord would like his gracious original 10 foot plaster ceiling desecrated ;( .
Years ago I was the first GRRl to work out under the Brooklyn bridge at Gleason's gym .... now its a popular model hangout ... i liked it when it was raw and stinky and sweaty ...I could still go there probably for free but its just too far on the gosh darn subway ... and i have a LIFE now
