I walked twice this week. Clocked in 5 flights of stairs on the Fitbit on each walk.
Got some Ryka walking shoes that are better than the ones I bought the week before. |
Mowed the lawn. That'll do.

I had hella good workout this morning, exercisers. It was a struggle, because I've only been doing cardio as a warm up for the strength training for a while, but I made it through and that's the important part. Kicking ass and taking names along the way is just icing on the proverbial cake.
I went to gym #2 and worked on the Life Fitness elliptical using the random program and at level 3. They finally got smart and had some of the lights turned off. Those lights put out a LOT of heat and with the natural light coming in through the wall of glass in the front and strategic placement of the lighting that was on, it was...by far...the most enjoyable and cool workout I've had at that location. I think that had a lot to do with the quality of my workout too. Stats: 322 cal, 2.73 mi, 35:00 min This was followed up by a good 10 minutes of stretching. I was loosey goosey in the joints when I left, but in a good way. |
My trainer didn't have enough people to come in for today (needs at least 3 and I think I was the only one wanting a session this morning), so I went to the other gym and did my own circuit and strength training. It was a good workout!
Life Fitness treadmill, random program, level 5 Stats: 34 cal, .37 mi, 8:00 min 45 minutes of circuit and strength training 12 minutes of stretching |
No time for an actual exercise workout, but working at the kennel and cutting grass in this heat is helping me lose weight!!!! Woo Hoo!!! I'm finally under 200lbs!! :hangloose::hangloose: AND, I'm still eating pretty much whatever I want, just less.

Another good workout today. After the last workout and moving a ton of tubs and bins around, I was sore for a couple of days. It's nice to feel the work but not be so tore up that you can't cough without sharp pain. That's not fun.
Warm up: Life Fitness elliptical, random program, level 5 Stats: 38 cal, .33 mi, 4:00 min Body: 45-50 minutes of strength training. I did the same routine as last time but switched up the order that some of the machines were used and I pushed myself with higher weights on some of them. Cool down: 10 minutes of stretching |
Today I scrubbed dog runs for 2 1/2 hours, and cut half of my lawn . As soon as I finish getting the oil changed in my car, I'm going home to cut the other half.:hangloose::hangloose::hangloose:

I got in a quick cardio workout this morning.
Precor EFX576i elliptical, total body program Stats: 272.3 cal, 2.21 mi, 30:00 min I know the statistics for these machines is off by up to 40% but I busted my hump today and feel I earned every one of those calories burned. :weightlifter: |
I had a short week at work. Went on three walks and clocked 4 flights of steps in each walk.

I changed my clothes about 75 times. That was a workout.

Excellent workout this morning, exercisers. I'm not sure if it was a longer workout because I just did more or if it was just that I was moving slower but it wound up being about an hour of strength training plus warm up and cool down.
Warm up: Life Fitness elliptical, random program, level 5 Stats: 65 cal, .52 mi, 7:00 min Strength training, total body Cool down: stretched for about 15 minutes I made it to failure on a couple of machines too. |
Me again!
I had a good workout this morning, although I did manage to aggravate a muscle in my left shoulder/upper back area. It's not major but it's a constant twinge, so I'll play nice with it this week. I already planned to go light on the upper body today anyway so that worked out. I emphasized the lower body and either increased the weight or did extra sets at my last weight. Warm up: Life Fitness elliptical, random program, level 5 Stats: 81 cal, .60 mi, 9:00 min 45 minutes of strength training, including additional work/emphasis on the lower body and core Cool down: 15 minutes of stretching as usual plus about 5 minutes on the TrueStretch contraption the gym has. It helped me to stretch my shoulder and neck area better than I could have using my body alone. |
I'm trying to decide what to do today. Last night I did a short run then bike workout. Not sure if I should do that again or get on the rowing machine... still healing from some surgery that sort of dictates staying off the rower for a little longer but I don't want to... it's my favorite.

Walked 2 miles while playing Pokemon GO and walking my dog.
|
I did my first strengthening exercises given to me by my physical therapist. Pelvic tilts and hip raises.

When another patient completely unbeknownst to me walks by and says, "Hey, doc, you're hurting her!" you know it's true. :blink: |
Wound up with a run and a bike ride- extended by that magic moment when you think you're done but then a really good song comes on so you ride a little longer...

30 minutes with the trainer , and only God knows the technical names of what we did ( I have my own version in Spanish of the names but those aren't technical names!) This was followed by a 40 minute walk - I usually try do a one hour walk, but I was tired !! -
What?! Im old, you know?!....and I'm a whiny baby as well!! lol :sunglass: |
Happy hump day, exercisers.
I had a quick cardio workout this morning. The soreness in my shoulder dissipated overnight but I still didn't want to overwork my muscles before I have time to really develop them. Life Fitness treadmill, random program, level 4 Stats: 209 cal, 1.80 mi, 35:00 min For the most part, I stayed at 3.0 mph while the incline changed throughout the whole workout. The only deviations were when the incline dropped to zero and I ran those intervals at 5.0 mph and my warm up and cool down. There were 2 1.5 minute intervals and one 1 minute interval that was run. I got the treadmill in the dark and under the big fan that was on high. Oh buddy, I was a happy girl. |
