February 2009 Exercise Challenge



Recommended Posts

I did the swim thing for 1 hour 15 min. I'm not sure how far I went. Did one 500, a 6 x 100 and a 400 and some other stuff. I lost track. We did a lot of drills and I learned how to do my hands properly and that helped me swivel my hips.

No treadmill today, my lower back has been letting me know that 2-3 wks straight of running is not what it wants.:biggrin: So, did 45 minutes on elliptical, pausing every 10 minutes to pump out 25 pushups. Btwn that and some before and after, I'm to 225 pushups already today.

Tonight will be upper body and a little more cardio.

Nothing this weekend as it is my 2nd "guys" weekend. Gotta take some time off:tt2:

Stationary bike. 45 min.

I've started adding in hill work. It's weird because the hills are so hard but overall I go more miles and my average heart rate is lower and my calories burned is lower. So, in some ways, it appears to not be as good a workout. But my METS where the same.

Hey Warriors,

Haven't posted in a while - January was NOT a good month for my workouts...

Back on track now, though - been walking every day at work now that the sidewalks are much clearer. Still haven't been in the gym, work has been a bit crazy and I don't have any energy when I leave.

Will be going to the gym this weekend to hopefully re-jump start my habit. DH does maintenance at a gym and they were tossing rowing machines, so he brought one home. Already downloaded a workout for it to my IPhone, so I'll be breaking that in this weekend.

Ya'll put this sometimey-jock-wanna-be to shame!:ohmy:

Yesterday: Unexpected road trip out of town, so no exercise.

Today: 4 miles, 1% incline, for 60 minutes. I was able to go 1 extra mile, by decreasing the incline. My goal now is to do 5 miles in 60 minutes by March 15.:frown:

Georgia Girl sorry to hear you were sick.

Lulu, let me know how golfing is with the Wii.

I did a brick!

We biked for about 8 miles (an up and back), then practiced our transitions (mine was about 30 seconds as I just took off my bike helmet and gloves and put on my running hat) and then ran.

My legs were like jelly though. Yikes.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
