Gym Is Open (Wednesday)

Hi guys! Well, this morning all of us were all finally back at the gym. There has been a lot of illness among my fellow exercisers. Well, we did the recumbant bike for 30 minutes, then did some lower body work...but, mostly we chatted!!! Which didn't interfere with the bike work, but, I certainly did not get in as much of a workout on the lower body...but, it was great to see everyone and I had fun. What did you do to move your body today? Lori

No vigorous exercise for me since I have a PICC line again, but I did take a couple of short walks around the house. I miss "sit and tone." Kix

Hey there Kix, Don't worry you will be back doing your sit and tone before you know it. Look out world because here she comes. Lorraine

Kix, Do what you can when you can...hopefully, you'll be free of the PICC line again soon! Hugs, Lori

Hey Lori, Well I did the elliptical for 55 min this morning, 125 crunches, and strength training I was in the gym for about 1 1/2 hours. Going back tonight with a friend for support so I figure I could burn a few extra calories so I will be going 2 times a day on Monday Wednesday and Thursday. I am only going to do the elliptcal in the evening since I put so much time into other exercises in the morning. Lets see if this will jump start the weightloss again. Lorraine

Lorraine, You've set the bar for me...I'm going to try and get to 120 crunches. I'm at about 60 max now!!! You are an inspiration! The 2 a day exercise routine is supposed to be the best for revving up the metabolism. Good luck!!!! Lori

Hi Lori, I just wanted to pop in and say hi. Guess what??? Hubby and I joined a gym today. I am so excited. I'll just do the tread mill until Cody is born. Joining a gym was one of my wls goals. They opened up right by my work and have such a great deal going on right now. It gets dark so early and is so cold outside to walk like I used to. I also posted a pic of me on my profile. It's big and might take a minute to load. ((((hugs)))) Diana

Diana, So great to hear from you! I've been thinking about you and wondering how you are doing. You are so freaking cute pregnant!!! Walking on the treadmill sounds like a great way to keep some fitness going without stressing the baby! Big Hugs back at ya! Lori

Awww thank you Lori !!! Looking forward to posting on your gym posts again. Meeting hubby today after he gets off work. woohooo!!! I gotta run to Walmart and find me a pair of sweatpants. I have no clothes and keep looking at thrift stores but their maternity section is so small. (((hugs))) Diana

I did twenty min. on the treadmill. I have been trying to increase my exercise. I need some muscle building things to do. I should start lifting weights I would imagine or join a gym but I dont want to make the commitment to that.
