[MA pigletfan]

I have been forgetting to write my workouts down here. I worked out everyday last week except Sunday.

Yesterday I did Vol 1 2 and 3 of Jillian 30 Day Shred, I really pushed myself yesterday in order to get rid of the extra calories from Easter eating

I only have 25 days till I go to disney so its crunch time now, no more excuses

all 3 volumes..AAACKKK!
i did #2 sunday and that was IT! hahah you go girl!

I am rolling along pretty well this week though, did 2 miles yesterday..hoping to do at least vol. 2 of JM shred tonight...we get to meet with the wedding coordinator at our venue tonight..YAY!!!

 

[LMO429]

I just got done doing Chalean Extreme extreme abs! Killer and then I did the Fat Burn Challenge my legs & abs are killing me right now

 

[ArielSRL]

Has anyone tried the Leslie Sansone Walk at Home videos? I like to walk outside but the one I have tried of hers is actually more than walking so it is better calorie burn....more aerobic. Was thinking of trying some others.

 

[LittleBoPeep]

Aaron - Please put me down for 5 lbs. for the Memorial Day challenge.
Thanks!

I've got everybody marked down so far!


Tell me about this Gold's Gym workout. Is it a DVD workout? I was in Tae Kwon Do for almost two years before life got in the way and I had to drop out. But I loved the workout that I got, and I've actually been looking for a shadow boxing type workout that I can do at home.

Oh, I forgot to mention it's for the Wii.
Basically you learn uppercuts, cross punches and other boxing moves, then you can set up workouts to do that usually are around 13 minutes. You can use two wii remotes or a remote and a nunchuk (I find it easier for both remotes since they're not hooked together). There is other boxing games and jump rope that I know of. I've only tried it 3 times and went with the basic stuff I learned right away so I'm not sure of what all there is to do, I haven't got much opened.
But I'll be sure to update you on what else I find on it!

I love my kickboxing class. It is all shadow boxing but I use 2 lb weights for most of the class. We have two guys and two girls that show up regularly, so it isn't a "sissy" workout.

I would really like to buy a bag some day, as I already have the gloves and wraps from previous classes. My gym has one but I feel kinda silly using it, which I probably need to get over. I need to find a good boxing workout plan, print it out, and find music to go with, and box my little heart out all alone!


I am up to 60 "real" pushups (on my toes), now. 80 total. My goal is to do all 80-100 that she usually makes us do on my toes, by the summer.

Also, just for future reference, 80 jumping jacks without the 2lb weights are much easier than 80 jumping jacks WITH the 2lb weights.

Aaron- put me down for 6 pounds for the challenge. I am hoping to do more than that but I think I can hit that for sure.

LOL! I cant imagine doing 80 jumping jacks period. The few Jillian Michaels has me do during the 30 day shred DVD I have been doing KILL me!!

Let me just say that 30 day shred level 1 looks like a warmup compared to this class.

Those 80 jumping jacks with the weights were followed by a punching/kicking sequence, then 80 more (this time I wasn't an idiot and *dropped* the weights).

I still do 30 day shred on weekends sometimes and I find myself following Natalie more and more... I tried the level 2 one once a long while back, maybe it is time to try it again.

I can honestly say I have never once even thought of following Natalie. I am so not ready for level 2. The cardio stuff kills me, the rest is tolerable.

Good for you though- it sounds like you are really in shape!! I am jealous.

Thanks! Not really, just working through it. In Jan when I started going to this class twice a week, I did my best to get through it but could probably only do half of what she asked us to do. All pushups were done on the knees and I could barely do any.

I continued to go twice a week, and added in 30 day shred when I could, and ice hockey practice once a week (which is now a game once a week). I also try to get in one more day of something, elliptical or tried c25k, but I just HATE running.

It is definitely cumulative, and I have only really felt "in shape" at all in the last 2-3 weeks. So keep working at it, you will get there for sure!!

Hey guys,
So I am happy to report that I finished all 7 circuits of Jillian Michael's Trouble Zones workout!!!
You guys are very intense with the 80 push-ups and doing all three Shred work-outs! Jeez!
But, for me, this was a HUGE stepping stone. I'm SO proud of myself.
Today, I was hungry after dinner and I went for a snack, but because it's Passover I can't have any of my cereal or healthy snacks. So, I stupidly grabbed a chocolate snack. After I finished, I IMMEDIATELY felt bad about it. I felt like I needed to work it off. Because I knew I wasn't hungry for that but I had it anyway. It made me happy that I realized this because it means it really is a lifestyle change! Yay! I don't think I'll lose any this week because of Easter/Passover, but I feel so good about myself in terms of my strength and flexibility!
Hopefully one day I'll be able to be like you guys and do 80-100 push-ups or all three Shred work-outs in one day!
1.5 more days of Passover and then I'm DONE with Matzah Pizza and PB&J on Matzah.

Ok this is off topic but I had to tell you guys. So I took my DD and her friend to the ball game last night Brewers vs. Cin. Reds. We got there really early and we went to see if they were letting anyone in yet, thought we would just walk around looking in the gift shops, eat our subs... Well as we are waiting line a man walks up to us in very official Brewer clothing and asks us if we are cold and how many we have in our party. So I said yes we were cold there were 3 of us. Then he asks if we would like to come inside and watch the Brewers batting practice we of course say yes!!! So they take us inside and right down on the field!! He tells me that he is part of this team that picks people at random to come inside to watch the players warm up! There was a roped off area specially for us! We were right on the field with the players and they all waved at us and tossed some baseballs to each of the girls! I can't tell what a hugh Brewer fan I am I just about died and went to heaven my daughter kept telling the nice man thank you and that this was the best thing that has ever happened to her!! ( she's on her way to being a hugh fan to! ) We were there close to an hour watching we were the first ones in the stadium before any other fans!!! I still can't believe it! Thanks for letting me share!


Oh and I was a good PEEP! I ate NO stadium food!!

Good for you!! I would love to be able to do that. I struggle getting though part one of the shred DVD. I have been steadily losing weight but my cardio endurance is horrible. I feel SO out of shape doing simple things sometimes, very depressing. But even in the few weeks I have been trying I feel like it is getting easier.

I am not a huge fan at all and even I think that would have been super cool! How fun!! And NO stadium food?? How did you do it That is always the best part of going to the stadium for me, lol!

That's exactly what I wanted to know. Thanks! We got the Wii Fit a few months ago, and while my wife likes it I'm pretty bored by it. It's ok I guess if I'm feeling really tired or sick or something and just want to get off the couch for 20 minutes. But it's not really a workout at all. But I'm very interested in the one you are describing. I'm going to have to check it out to see if it would be something to get.

I love my kickboxing class. It is all shadow boxing but I use 2 lb weights for most of the class. We have two guys and two girls that show up regularly, so it isn't a "sissy" workout.

I would LOVE to find a kickboxing class in my area, but no dice. Like I said before, I really enjoyed Tae Kwon Do, but one thing I didn't like was going up against the black belts and getting my butt kicked. It really took the enjoyment out of it. So shadow boxing of any sort would be great. I'm going to keep looking though to see if I can find something close to me.

Way to go! Some of those Jillian Michaels' DVD's are real killers. I just lay on the floor afterwards huffing and puffing. I curse her during the workouts, but I can definitely feel the benefits afterwards.

Then he asks if we would like to come inside and watch the Brewers batting practice we of course say yes!!!

Oh, how cool! You know that I'm completely jealous, right? It's almost like a Disney World "Year of a Million Dreams" thing, only a lot closer to home!

YES i do have a few of her workouts..the 2 miler is great and i have one that goes up to 5 miles i believe..if you do them with hand weights they give you a really good walking workout..i love them for days i dont want to leave the house and go to the gym and its too cold or rainy to go outside

I can honestly say I have never once even thought of following Natalie. I am so not ready for level 2. The cardio stuff kills me, the rest is tolerable.

Natalie is a MACHINE. i am all about Anita..sometimes i go a bit in between, but Natalie is intimidating

I know that Gold's has some sort of combat workout class, but Gold's was too pricey for me. If you find a good DVD, let me know! I would love to find something to do on weekends since my class is only Tues/Thurs.


So cool about the Brewer's game!! And congrats on not eating stadium food!


NHL playoffs start today, and my team is in it. It is going to be a struggle to resist my old enemy... beer.

 

[::Snow_White::]

You're welcome.
I opened some sort of sandbag game today, but I haven't checked it out.
It works good for me, but I also have worked out my arms as much as I have the rest of my body so it may just be that I'm weak in that area. I get bored with the wii fit as well and rarely use it. But I love My Wii Fitness coach and Golds Gym.

For all the runners out there I have a question. I've been running 10 minutes as much as possible lately but a few times had to take a break because my ankle or foot hurt. I used to run barefoot in the living room on the wii fit (I still find it hard to run pavement) and my mom told me that was why my feet always hurt. Well I started wearing the new running shoes I got for Christmas but the tops of my feet still hurt very bad after I get done with my run.

Once I ran everyday for about 4 days and on the fourth day I could hardly walk because the tops of my feet and ankles hurt so bad. My right foot had a bruise the top of it a few weeks ago (Not from anything but running) but has since gone away, now the other foot hurts as well. I'm thinking it might be because of the shoes, or the way I'm running? I can't imagine running hurting the top of my feet, but I've heard it can. Also my veins on the top of my feet pop out pretty bad after my run as well, same with the backs of my hands, I don't know if that has anything to do with anything though. TIA!
