The Do You Work Out Zone

sylvie · 07-18-2012, 05:49 AM

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?

I'd love to work out. Sadly my body doesn't allow me to do the stuff I'd still love to do; judo, body-building, seriously challenging cycling. However I can still do a few planks and a few miles on two wheels.

Last summer I was hitting at least a 100 miles a week on my bike. This summer I've barely hit 15 miles a week.

I want to get myself to a meeting up the road aways this evening, so I'm gonna get my cycling longs on and make myself do the 15 mile round trip.

If I'm not back by tomorrow, send a search party

It's been a week and a half since the doc shot my back up,this past monday was the first day of work outs since then,sofar all iv'e had is sorness but nothing else.It's been really hot and muggy hear so some of my program is still out on the patio to use the rest is in the house,I do the stretching and cardio with medium weights in the morning and bowflex and bench along with the rest about 8:00pm when it cools off some.All has been well so crossing my fingers.

I've been working out consistently for my entire adult life.

I switch it up but at the moment I do a half hour on the cross trainer, really pushing my heart rate up and listening to cheesy music on the IPod.

Then I do two sets of ten reps on eight different stationary weight machines.

I do that three times a week, or more if I feel like it.

I also ride a bike now and then, hike on weekends, and fidget, which uses up calories at work and on the train!

My weight went up some and I lost eight pounds; I'd like to lose about five more. When that happens, I up the weight on the machines I use, and watch my eating habits.

But the exercise isn't really a weight-loss thing for me. It helps me sleep, keeps my metabolism up, melts stress and makes me happy.
