Did You Exercise Today? (Tuesday, Jan 4)

[Kathy B]

Just did about 40 miniutes on the stepper mixed with light handweights, then some toning exercises.

What did you do today? Do it, then POST IT! :cool:

I went for a 30 minute walk this morning.

My experiment with 8 minutes in the morning continues. Im curious if it will work. My muscles are rubbery, so it must be doing something...:D

I'll join in...

As part of my New Year's resolutions, I promised myself that I would do cardio 4 times a week for at least 45 minutes. So, yesterday I forced myself to the gym, and fought my way to a machine (the place was insane with new folks!), and did my 45 on the treadmill. YEAH!

Today, I plan on doing the same after work. Hopefully it won't be quite so crowded.

Thanks for keeping me accountable with this one! Great daily thread!

Edited to Add - I got my 45 in for today as well! Two days in a row! I'm on a roll. :-)

Terri, I was going to PM you this questions, but I thought others might be interested in the answer. :)

I tried a spinning class once and really liked it. Except the next day my butt was so sore I could barely sit down. Not muscle-sore, sore from the seat. Also it was really uncomfortable when I was riding the bike? What's the best type of shorts/pants to wear to be more comfortable during the ride? Or maybe I was just sitting on the bike wrong? It was a great workout but I never took another class because it was too painful!

[TLee4]

Hi Joanne! The seat does feel AWFUL the first week or two. And then it totally goes away. You can buy bike shorts that have padding, and you can also buy a gel seat (it's like a set cover) that you put over the saddle. But I think the best advice is just to wait it out and I promise it will get better. It becomes a total non-issue, but that first few times, I would have never believed it either!

Terri

p.s. sit as far back in the saddle as possible..that helps a bit.

I worked out at the gym doing the circuit in about 35 minutes.

45 minutes on the elliptical this morning:)


Thanks for the advice on spinning, Terri. I may throw a class or two into my schedule to mix things up. For some reason, I am really bored with kickboxing at the moment...

:D Another beautiful day...so I went outside and did a 35 minute run, absolutely love that fresh air! Plus this morning I did my free weights.

[cher48603]

30 minutes on the elliptical and some assorted exercises with hand and ankle weights. According to the weatherman we'll get our exercise shoveling snow before the week is over:eek:

[JackieO]

40 minutes on the elliptical -- the gym wasn't as crowded today as yesterday. Maybe the resolutions are waning....:D

[kimmer99]

30 minutes doing the weight loss routine on the treamill :D

45 mins of cardio, mixed between the eliptical and treadmill. I almost didn't go, it's been so cold and rainy here! I'm just not use to this weather!

Put me down for a one hour sculpt class.
