The Do You Work Out Zone

Feeling GREAT after working out this morning!

[Cody70]

Went out early to go running today and had a pain in a muscle near my shin, had to stop after only running a mile. Came home, cooled down and headed out on my bike. Was able to do that without any pain but only stayed out for 5 miles because of the heat.

My work outs include taking TaeKwonDo classes two days a week(working on my second degree black belt), running three days a week (try for three miles each time), suspension training, bosu training and some circuit/weight lifting training. I am by no means athletic but I'm working on it.

Ran my first 5k (not an event, but a practice run) with the Running Room on Wednesday night.. i did SO good, and was so proud of myself..

i have also developed a really great program for myself which includes a lot of arm work and abs work.. Along with a few circuits a friend helped me develop, i should be well on my way to toning my arms and my stomache.. That's where the loose skin is and toning is needed the most.. The running is helping SO much with the legs..

my legs are starting to have shape to them now, and they're so, so much stronger than ever.. i will be registering for a few events in the near future!

Anxious for that!
Even inspired my daughter to run, along with her best friend ..
That makes me smile big!

Congratulations Sylvie! I just signed up for my first 5k at the beginning of August, still practicing...I've run the full amount twice but it has been a few weeks due to my work schedule. I need to get back to it. I did go for a 7 mile bike ride tonight and have been enjoying riding my bike more and more.

Over the weekend a friend of mine ask me if I could use another workout station that has all the bells and whistles on it...and I do mean everythng.Shure I said,so sometimes this week he is delivering it,I saw on just like he described at the fittness center..it is huge but will fit my pattio just fine.Its got chain drive with up to 400 pounds or weight if I need it(dont)
its gonna be fun to find out just what I can do with it...even has a rowing machine attachment.Yes it was my lucky day.

i have been so interested in boxing or kickboxing lately..
i'm obsessed with thoughts of joining it someplace.. i haven't looked into it.
The gym membership i have is hard enough to hold onto financially.
i wish my gym offered it though..i am able to go to all of the Good Life gyms in my city and some are bigger than the one i frequent which is all women.. (the others are co-ed) .. maybe i will check them out and see if they offer something like that or even have a bag, at least. i would love even that.

They do have a Body Combat class, which i love and haven't been to in awhile.
Thinking maybe i need to find my way to a Combat class more often. But i would really, really love actual boxing or kickboxing.

Ahhh the frustrations i could get out daily! hehe..
Maybe i will purchase one in time, they are reasonably priced, 200 dollars would get me everything i need..

~~~~~~
i am registered for a Running Room event tonight, it's a 20 min event.. Not sure what is involved (hope it's not hills LOL) - i can do 20 mins easily so thinking there has to be a challenge of some sort.. Maybe we'll aim for more to make a good lengthy run of it, if no challenge. i get a Running Room hat for participating which i am happy about..

Cody70, yaaaaaay on the upcoming 5k in August, let me know it goes.. There are a couple of 5k's here in August as well but i will be in Oregon.. As it stands right now, i am registered for one (possibly 2) in October, one week after the other depending on a friend's work hours! It's so exciting, isn't it?
