Did I post earlier? I thought I had..hmm

Well I walked the dog for 40 minutes or so this morning...did a lot of running around..one thing entailed walking up a mountain top for an interview...

AND!

I joined the Daily Burn...

I have perused MANY workouts...and I think the variety will keep my interest. And it's great that you can do different things in a day...on top of the calendar they arrange for you..

There is also an eating plan with daily burn which I'm trying for free along with the workouts. I haven't looked into that yet...I, however,HAVE started my own "diet" where I give my dog 1/3 -1/2 of my food. Not only am I eating less..I'm making better choices for us both...like the other night...Taco Bell...NOT a good idea...for either of us...

cinnamongrrl · 07-25-2014, 07:40 PM

ok...so...

I tried one of the workouts...

Kickin' it with Keaira to be specific....a kick boxing workout...maybe that's obvious.. I LOVED it! I feel my butt for sure...there's SO much to choose from.. Boredom be GONE!

Oh...and something I did NOT know...you can track your progress.. Like for example... we did burpees...and they have you track how many you do. Hopefully next time I will do more. AND they track your calories burned...I'm sure it's approximate...but still... LOVE IT!

My first thought was "poor dog!" Now what does that say? That we think more about what we feed our pets that our selves? Glad you are "both" making better choices.

I spent about an hour and half puttering around in the soft sand trying not to do more tendon damage. Fail. I've had it up most of the afternoon, I hate tendon problems, they take seemingly forever to heal.

At least it was really nice out early today, we're having a hot snap and it's kind of miserable out there now. Tomorrow is another day...

nycfem · 07-26-2014, 04:44 PM

Free Saturday! Spent 2.5 hours in the park by the river, walking and doing stair walking. Then went to the gym and did 1hr 15 min on stair master (45/50 intervals), then 30 min weight lifting, 30 min ab/leg/back exercises on mat, and 15 min stretching. I shall sleep good tonight

Candelion · 07-26-2014, 05:42 PM

Bought a new pair of runners. Walked briskly around the lake to break them in for a good long run tomorrow. This is the lake (as if you are interested

)

I'm one of those runners that like my shoes to be as close to bare feet as possible. No arch support. No ankle support. But I will NEVER resort to these.
NEVER!!!

Gemme · 07-26-2014, 05:51 PM

Candelion, that's a lovely lake!

Thank you for not giving in to the feet shoes.

*shiver*

Tommi · 07-26-2014, 08:46 PM

Smiling, or was I smirking,....that no pain no gain slogan going through my head as I climbed the stairs for a second time today. I thought of jen and bb climbing flights of stairs where they lived , almost every day.

How can the July 20-27, Olivia Culinary Cruise, to Italy, France and Spain hurt me if I am at home ...

Two trips a day to my BFF's house as they cruise around, drinking wine, going to vinyards, eating all that cruise ship food, looking for that perfect T-shirt for me and and apron for my girl,,... celebrating their one year wedding anniversary. I am handyman, housplant sitter and Cat Whisperer. Taking care of their 4 critters, two of them live in their upstairs, with their own food and litter box, so I must hike the stairs for hungry cats....

I am going to the pool every morning..I think the Jacuzzi tonight is needed.
Whimp.....two flights of stairs and I wanted a pizza, but had...a bunch of fruit and some halibut they cooked for me before they left.

WOW ny, you are amazing..

You didn't really think I'd leave this alone did you?

I vote for "stay in the park and do more stairs there".

But you already knew that.

Gemme · 07-27-2014, 06:57 AM

Everyone needs a change of pace now and again, Kelt, and we all know Jennifer goes through her paces far more and faster than the rest of us slow pokes.

Lol where'd you find these? Old man feet sneakers! I actually REALLY like the Vibram FiveFingers. However, I was no easy convert... Defintely had to get over the form factor! Love em for track and road running, not so much for trails. I still like a little more support on the trails around here (too much potential for stubbed toes, twisted ankles).

Slow start to this morning but we are heading out to do some climbing around a place called Montezuma. Last time I climbed up there I got stuck on a crack for about 30 minutes... Here's hoping for no Montezuma's revenge!

Enjoy the day!

Charmingbutch21 · 07-27-2014, 03:26 PM

Just finished 2 hours of softball practice. 99 degrees with the heat index. August is going to be a beast!

CyberStud · 07-28-2014, 01:08 AM

After an amazing 6hr hike a few days ago, I've been a little bit lazy. Well that's changing this week as I crank up my activities, before the Gym divorces me! Started of this morning 15min yoga and 15min pilates followed by 45min HIIT cycle. After work I plan to do a 45min upper body weight resistance workout keeping the reps low and the weights high.

ProfPacker · 07-28-2014, 07:19 AM

Had a great night at gym. Stretching, cardio, warm up, upper body and abs, gluts, more stretching, swam for 45 minutes. .. feel good

07-28-2014, 08:24 AM

A few miles here and there on't velo does it for me.

Having been off the bike, whilst caring for Teh Pops, I've been walking a whole lot more and have been struggling to keep my weight above 110lbs [yeah I know, I iz a twig].

Thankfully now care duties are over, I'm back in the comfort zone and back on the bike for a few miles in sun.

WingsOnFire · 07-28-2014, 08:59 AM

well I finally got my membership at the community center so I can use their pool to continue my pool therapy. Super excited! Of course I forgot my swim clothes today lol... but it's a start!

Hoping to go home after work and make myself leave the cool A/C and go to work out

alwaysbeannie · 07-28-2014, 11:01 AM

Finished school now back to working out again. Survived first day on insanity

totally worth it

MysticOceansFL · 07-28-2014, 04:50 PM

Yes nothing like a good work out in the gym working the upper body doing 12 to 15 sets of reps and a five minute rest in between and then switching to do the lower body same amount of reps and so on every Monday, Wednesday and Friday and one day on the week end! Gotta love it!

nycfem · 07-29-2014, 06:37 PM

Sunday: 1 hr stair master, 30 min. weight lifting, 30 min yoga
Monday: 30 min. stair master in between work and therapy
Today: 1 hr stair master, 15 min. weight lifting, 15 min. ab, back, and leg exercises, 15 min. stretching

ProfPacker · 07-29-2014, 06:46 PM

nycfem you got 30 minutes in between work and therapy? was that to settle down from work or get ready for therapy? lol

yesterday, after work went to gym, swam for about 15 laps and then started to cramp in my calf so I stopped swimming.

No gym today because I got my hair cut and did want to ruin it, lol. hair cut was with exercise in mind....I needed to take some off so my hair wouldn't bother me in swim cap.

Dara Torres I am not but oh how I dream of having her body (she wouldn't be so bad either)

Kelt · 07-29-2014, 09:39 PM

Still trolling the beach each morning, still going slowly. My achilles got bad enough that I resorted to lidocaine patches for a few days to calm things down enough to walk at all. I've never used it for anything other than trigger points before but it worked. Having to keep that in mind and be extra careful not to get into "if it doesn't hurt, I can use it" mentality. Going to go without for a bit just to let it hurt again as a biofeedback tool.

Sucks. Also knocks out most of my PT exercises. It's a good thing I've got an appointment tomorrow to figure out how to work around this.
