Exercise

Day 2. Today was plyometrics, which is a fancy word for an hour of jumping and squats. Often both at the same time. It hurt, but strangely I enjoyed it. I'm looking forward to next friday.

Look in the freebies. I see a lot of them in our craigslist. People mean well, but end up using it for a place to throw their clothes. Then they want to get rid of it

Hey TL...when and if you get your treadmill here is a awesome workout to start out with...

Week 1: Walk continuously for 30-60 minutes between 3.0 mph and 4.0 mph. Repeat this workout 3-4 times during the first week. This is just to get you going. If you're somewhat active you can skip this week and go straight to week 2.

Week 2: Walk for 4:30 between 3.0 and 4.0 mph then jog for 30 seconds at a speed between 4.5 and 5.0 mph. After jogging for 30 seconds go back to a walking speed for 4:30. Repeat this pattern 6 times until you reach 30 minutes.

Week 3: Walk for 4 minutes between 3.0 and 4.0 mph then jog between 4.5 and 5.0 mph for 1 minute. Repeat 6 times until you've completed 30 minutes.

Week 4: Walk for 3:30 minutes between 3.0 and 4.0 mph and then jog for 1:30 between 4.5 and 5.5 mph. Repeat 6 times until you've completed 30 minutes.

Week 5: Walk for 3 minutes between 3.0 and 4.0 mph and then jog for 2 minutes between 4.5 and 5.5 mph. Repeat 6 times until you've completed 30 minutes.

Week 6: Walk for 2:30 minutes between 3.0 and 4.0 mph and then jog for 2:30 minutes between 4.5 and 5.5 mph. Repeat 6 times until you've completed 30 minutes.

Week 7: Walk for 2 minutes between 3.0 and 4.0 mph and then jog for 3 minutes between 4.5 and 6.0 mph. Repeat 6 times until you've completed 30 minutes.

Week 8: Walk for 1:30 minutes between 3.0 and 4.0 mph and then jog for 3:30 minutes between 4.5 and 6.0 mph. Repeat 6 times until you've completed 30 minutes.

Week 9: Walk for 1 minute between 3.0 and 4.0 mph and then jog for 4 minutes between 4.5 and 6.0 mph. Repeat 6 times until you've completed 30 minutes.

Week 10: Walk for 30 seconds between 3.0 and 4.0 mph and then jog for 4:30 between 4.5 and 6.0 mph. Repeat 6 times until you've completed 30 minutes.

Week 11: Jog for 30 minutes between 4.5 and 6.0 mph. Do your best not to take any breaks, but if you're really out of breath simply walk for 30 seconds to 1 minute and then go right back to your jogging speed.

Chel and I jogged back to her car Monday from something at the University, (we'd had to park far away) and it was sort of awesome. Especially since it was down hill...

[BeccaBoo]

It really works...

Sis: It's probably not quite as likely to find the free treadmills this time of year.  Everyone who has one just made a new year's resolution to start using it again!

[iridiscente]

Unless they made a New Year's Resolution to either move or declutter their whole life.

Its always said if you are going to be able to stick to an exercise rutine, it needs to be somthing you enjoy doing.  Are there particular exercises you enjoy or ones you hate?

As for me I love to walk. Ages ago I used to go to aerobics. and liked it. I am thinking about getting some aerobics videos and trying to get into that at home?

I never could do a push up lol

I tried push up, I rocked myself to sleep trying to get up. lol

[World Traveler]

oh my word I wanna die. That was the most painful 90 minutes of my life.

Haha, I know the feeling. I sneezed in church last night and thought I was going to die from the sudden movement jarring my muscles.

Yea, I know how that is. I just blame it on old age. :-)
Many times when I cough I can feel my upper back bone discs popping like a line of dominoes falling over one another.

[iridiscente]

Yet you still have enough spark to flirt with AB?

[Melody]

I just heard that DR.Z on the news say that when we're sick is when we don't want to move, but for every day we don't excercise it takes 10 days off our life. 

Who knows though?  But it's a bit motivating!

[Sis]

My luck, I'd keep exercising, adding days to my life and I'll get hit by a truck and die there.

[iridiscente]

try so we can see.

[Sis]

We have an exercise room here. Use the treadmill and the weights, and the lifting machine. I'll try to stay away from trucks.

[The Purple Fuzzy]

Good idea!  *HUGS*

[iridiscente]

Go for it chica!
I was sorta upset because I did really, really good all day and then we went to McAlister's tonight and the sandwich was great and not very many calories, but the crazy nacho basket that we shared was more calories than my whole day combined!

[RainbowJingles]

[BeccaBoo]
