January Exercise Challenge - First Things First!

[JillyBean1899]

30 min on exercise bike tonight. It's been raining all day, so I wasn't even going to attempt to go outside.

30/1000 ... at least I'm still on track

 

[araes2102]

Did another 10 minutes of well girl challenge (doing the Dec arm challenge as I never "got around to it" last month)

20/900

 

[Grlpowers]

Can I still join? I would like my goal to be 1200 this month. I need to step it up for the new year. Also I am leaving for Punta Cana in feb and I would love to be in a little better shape for the beach.

30 min run in the rain (I needed to try out my running rain jacket in case it rains on marathon day)
60/1600 thanks

132/2200 Thanks!!

walking, tm time, amt time, and bike time.

Does anyone else regularly use the AMT (adaptive motion trainer)? Holy crud, it is hard!

I have a new plan this year, since I have put on 25 (UGH!!!!) pounds over the last two years. I am still going at least a mile a day (walk or run) but I am getting in my other cardio workout for the day first. So for instance if the plan is a mile or two on the tm and 30-40 min on the elliptical, I get on the elliptical first. Too many times I have over done it on the tm, or been really tired and skipped the extra workout. So far it seems to be working. In a weird way I think it might help my running (if I am careful) because I am running tired. When I finally run without the extra workouts I should be really, really fast and be able to run forever! Probably not trainer recommended but I really needed to do something different, and I didn't want to give up my mile a day.

Hope everyone doesn't see too much snow today!

We probably got about 6 inches but the windchill tonight into tomorrow is supposed to be -10 to -15. It feels like -2 right now Have you had any cold weather?

We got a couple inches today and it is really cold (for here). DS is driving back to school on Sunday so he is going to be trying to out run our next snow system and bitter (single digits) cold temps. I am very over winter.

being back to work after the holiday break means back to lunch break workouts.

I did drive across campus though. But since it was -9 air temp. I was impressed that I went outside at all.

So did 2.25 miles on the bike and then some s.t. including renewing my love/hate relationship with the assisted chin-up machine.

Anyone set any fitness goals for the year? I challenged myself to propel myself forward at least 1,000 miles this year including running/cycling/hiking

25 minutes circuit training
45 minutes karate
30 minutes weapons class
60 minutes Krav Maga

Total: 175/2400

 

[Mrs.Malone]

I'm in! Thank you.

My goal: 500 minutes. I'm beginning modestly since this is my first month.

 

[jakedis]

This is an innovative way of involving people to take care of themselves. I like this thing, therefore, I also want to be a part of it. My goal is 1000 and I m going to start it from today onwards
I've been exercising for a while but I have never thought of this way to keep track record of time. Good!

188/2200 Thanks!
30 min elliptical; 26 min indoor track

Me!
Attainable goals:
1. Mile a day
2. planks every day (minimum 20 sec, 2 front 1 each side)
3. 32 ounces of water every day (this one is torture for me, seriously, do not like water)
4. 8 minutes of meditation every day.

Reach for it goal:
1000 miles running, walking or hiking in 2014. Not counting bike or elliptical, etc. I reached it last year, but I am focusing more on losing weight right now, so this one might not be attainable, but I am going to shoot for it.

 

[Grlpowers]

112/1200 I am trying to walk in the morning and then a short walk after lunch.
