January 2009 Exercise Challenge

[Ceradad 10]

Yesterday, upper body workout followed up with 65 minutes on elliptical. No running yesterday as my legs were KILLING me from leg workout on Tuesday.

A.M. today, 24 minute/2.5 mile run-put me over my weekly goal (WOOOT). Then, 15 minutes on elliptical. Tonight will be leg workout and more cardio.

nothing this morning - took the kiddos to school. I've done something funky to my ankle (not twisted just a bit sore) - I'm going to hit the gym when I get off though - maybe the rower? or swimming?

Can I ask what is the purpose of a sauna? I sweat enough doing cardio to go sit in heat not to mention I live in a sauna 8 mos a year in Houston.

Wednesday: OFF

Thursday: 80 min. Legs/Calfs/Shoulders

30 min. StairClimber (torture chamber) I can go longer on any other machine but this one is a killer. Says I burned 230 cal in 30 min. so I had some cheetos when I got home.

A sauna can help take the aches out of your muscles after a workout. It can detox you and it can help relax you. I miss being in the sauna.

I am thinking about joining a gym. Do you all belong to a gym or do you exercise at home?

I work out at home. It is just easy with my work/commute/family schedule.

Hey Georgia Girl. I was an advid jogger as a teenager and twentysomething young woman, but because of my weight gain I stopped. I so want to jog again, but I am afraid because I am 5'6" and 220 pounds.

I don't want to stress my joints by jogging/running with this excess weight. However, I know that I can lose the weight quicker if I jog/run rather than walk.

Are you running on a treadmill or outdoors. I so want to run/jo outdoors, but I was thinking I would have to loose more weight first.:confused:
