:tongue_smilie: No crickets! That's the elliptical "swishing".

I've been going each night (not last night, though) to the gym. I've started to do arms every other night. I do reps of that and then do about 20 - 30 mins on either the treadmill or the elliptical.

It's boring, though, I hate every minute of it...but I keep plugging!

This week has been off for me I over did it on Saturday doing a strenuous (up and down and up) 13.5 mile hike. I could barely walk for the first part of the week. My calves are just today not as sore. I will get going again next week.

Worked out each day this week. Ran 2.5 miles on Tues. and 3.75 on Wed. Then, Wed. night @ softball, I took a line drive off the instep of my right foot. Nothing broken luckily, but very deep bruise. Took Thur off from cardio. Managed to tough out 35 minutes on elliptical on Friday and today. I'll try to hit the running on Monday again. Foot feels alot better compared to Thursday morning.

Here are a couple pics I took after my workout on Wed.

Essentially the same pic. Most of the size has been put on in the past 3 weeks due to a new workout routine I've started. All I can say is IT WORKS!!!!!

Edit: And despite what the shirt says, that is an XL sized shirt. :-)

Looking good Ceradad! What's the new routine?

Sadly I did not work out today - but my pedometer says I walked 4.9 miles during my shift last night - doesn't count though. Currently planning my long training walk for tomorrow - not sure if I'm going to do a true long one or a shorter one with speed intervals.

Thanks kc. Workout is called Max O.T. Designed to build strength and muscle quickly. Workout one body part per day, 30-40 minutes max length. After doing circuits for so long, I LOVE THIS!

No workout today, day of rest.

Hi Everyone!

Haven't posted in the exercise thread for a while, but...

I do continue to walk every day - morning walk with DDog, now since the weather has gotten better, I'm also walking from the train station to my office building.

Summer means a shorter lunch hour, so I've only been getting in 20 minute walks versus 35 - 40 when I have an hour for lunch.

I also walk from my office building to the train station to go home - normally about 20 minutes to go just over a mile.

Good intentions to start lifting again, but y'all know what the road to he** is paved with - haven't started a real program yet. Gotta do something though, with 50 lbs gone things are looser than I want them to be (especially my triceps) and I'm hoping that building more muscle will take up some of the 'slack'.

Nice to see everyone keeping up with their workouts.

Ceradad - awesome pics! Neat tattoos too...my DH has a tattoo of the Hulk busting out of his chest that covers the left upper pec - designed it himself and looks great.

Have a wonderful afternoon everyone!:thumbdown:

I LOVE football! - Now my teams might not be the best but Ilove them and there is nothing like fall weekends and watching men enjoy killing themselves.

Living in KC - I love my Chiefs and I am a Jayhawk!

No exercise today (will try to walk for my lunch hour tonight) and only a minimum walking yesterday.

[kcmagu 3]

Well it's official - I have registered for the KC Marathon Sat. October 17th. :thumbup:

I have lost my mind!

[iwalktheline 1]

how long does it take u to walk seven miles? where do you walk and why don't you start jogging...just wondering (oh great job by the way:thumbup:)

[kcmagu 3]

It all depends on the day and my drive - I average between a 15-18 min mile. I ask myself all the time why I don't start jogging (time wise) but I just detest it for some reason - that might change though 20-30 lbs down the way.

Last night - very tired only walked about 2.5 miles on my lunch break.

Today - so far I did a 50 min dvd (billy blanks boot camp) and will try to walk on my break again.
