August Exercise Challenge-Movin' and Losin' into Fall

August 16 - 67 strength
August 17 - 70 cardio
_______________________
773/1500

For those of you with really large goals (2500...3000) - is that all workout time, or are you counting daily activities? I consider 60-70 minutes of pure "exercise" per day, 6 days a week to be plenty! While I could workout 2 hours a day, I sure don't want to!
 

8/15 20 mins walking
8/16 90 mins upper body w/trainer + cardio
8/17 60 mins core w/trainer + cardio
8/18 60 mins spin class
 
August 18 - 62 strength
August 19 - 65 cardio

Hi Everyone,

Where do you live?! Most of the country is hoping for cooler weather!
 
1,121/1,890, 59% :banana:

Also, I've been so tired lately from intense INSANITY workouts, and from working on two major writing projects due by 31st. It might be logical to ease on the exercising, but I don't want to back away from my goals--once again. So what about recovery drinks, would they help? Does anyone have a brand they can recommend, hopefully on the natural side?

Thanks, CC and all! :)
 
I'm at 1107/1700.

We're in the 90s again this weekend. I guess we're getting up at 5:30 again tomorrow for our long run. I need to bottle some of this heat and save if for February!:goodvibes

Go ahead and change my goal to my normal 3000. Thanks CC!

I live in southern New England. It is supposed to be mid-70s today and rain all day. I don't think it's been over 80 all week. Hope you get some relief soon!

No problem. Unfortunately, I can't help you with recovery drinks. I drink water. But, I've also never tried INSANITY. Good luck with everything you have on your plate!

Keep up the great work!



All updated!
 
After our long run yesterday, I am now at:

1293/1700.

Still a little worried, I won't make my goal, because we are starting our taper to the half we are running on the 4th. Thanks CC!

Larrabe--a lot of people drink chocolate milk for a recovery drink. We tried it after our 13 mile run on Saturday, and I can't decide how I feel about it. It was a little too sweet and thick for me (2% milk), but on the other hand, I did not crash when I got home. Good luck finding something that works.:goodvibes
 
Aug. 22 - 55 strength
