Exercise Challenge

Good Morning ,
It doesn't matter gurl, just keep moving.  Get that heart rate up.  Defeat those potential heart diseases that plague our community.
Have a great day!!!!

Love this post! I am an excercise-aholic!!!! I truly love to excercise...even when I was heavier...but now seeing the results is so much better!!!

Anyhoo....like you I love excercise so much that I am plannning on becoming a personal trainer myself! I had my surgery in April 09 and have lost 60lbs...and over 40 inches....Went from a size 24/26 to size 16...OMG!!!!

I workout 2x per day...I get up at 5:30 am...  normally do a DVD...this morning I did Total Body Crunch - Sculpting and Cardio by The Firm...and after work I either do the elliptical or the treadmill for an hour.....and usually do abs every night on the ball....

I will be checking in daily!!! Continued success to you!!! Congratulations on exceeding the average weightloss for a lap-bander!!!!

Hello Leesha,
   Congrats on your weight loss. 
It seems we are like minded.  I too exercised when I was heavier, I was always the big girl at the gym. LOL.
I am hooked, if I don't go work out, I get crabby and just don't feel as good as when I start my day doing some type of physical activity.
I am tyring to get back into the 2 a days. I plan on going to cycling class after work, I did weight training and the stair stepper this morning. 
I have a GREAT personal trainer who I owe most of my fitness sucsess to. He believed in me before I had my surgery. He said I never needed it, I think differently. It changed my life, all for the better.
Kepp up the good work, we will inspire one another.

We will definitely keep each other inspired....I look forward to it!

won't be able to make it to the gym today  but I"ll be walking on my tread mill here at the house for 45 min.

I loved going to the gym and you are so right that we are not there in great numbers.

Count me in!

Got a gym style treadmill at home and loving it.

Completed week 2 day 3 of couch to 8K
46 minutes total
5 minute warm up walk 
8 minutes jogging and 1 minute walking (alternate four times)
5 minute cool down walk

 

Hello Fionna,
   I just got in from a high intensity cycling class and I am tired but feel great.
Welcome aboard the more the merrier.
Keep up the good work!!!
Barb

Just finished 20 minutes on the treadmill and will ride my bike later.

Great job!!! I wish I could go bike riding here.  I think I would get run over, LOL.

Hey Barb ! 

I have my gym bag set & ready to go for  my regular gym trip tonight.

When I go I generally stay for at least an hour and do 

45 mins on the eliptical,

3 sets of 12 reps each on the thigh machines abductions and adductions (where's spell check when you need it )

And I have begun to do 100 crunches, 

50 squats ( 25 each leg) 

and 50 arm curls using 5 lbs free weights ( 25 each arm) 

I know full well of the benefits of  exercise.

It has been most instrumental in weightloss & toning attempts.

Great post and idea !
