Exercise thread for Friday 1/19

[cinmell]

I looked but didn't see a thread for today so here goes!

I did the 2 mile watp dvd with 5lb weights. Boy, do those weights really add to the workout! I don't look forward to how my arms are going to feel tomorrow!

Next?

You all are doing great! WOW- the 11.5 miles run is crazy- you GO!

50 minutes on a cardio-glide thingy (Still not certain what it's called )

The digital readout said 6.0 miles.

Last call- anyone else???

Hi Everybody,

I am new to this board, but not to the DIS.

I got membership to the local YMCA for my 46th birthday and have been loving it. I am a former figure skater, so exercise is not an unusual thing for me, but I have not really exercised regularly in several years.

My partner and I started our new exercise routine one week ago and we are doing really well. I have been getting to the Y 3 days each week. I met with a personal trainer (included with membership, for up to 6 sessions) on Wednesday and he showed me lots of the machines and developed an exercise regimen for me.

So, yesterday I walked a mile, did my 11 machines and 4, 6 step crunches with an exercise ball, and then walked another mile with 5 lb. weights. I am trying really hard to include at least one extra of something each time I go.

Exercise can be fun!

Linda

LJC1861-

Great job- and welcome to the WISH board. I am like you- just "discovered" this board about a week ago- now I'm hooked!

I need to "bite the bullet" and do what you have done- find a trainer to show me how to do all those scary looking machines! Currently I only use the one machine, my home treadmill, and workout tapes.

Again- welcome!
