I am so tempted to use yesterday's run for today and today's 50 minutes on the elliptical for tomorrow. I usually work out in the evening, so I always look like a slacker on the chart.

Way to go Brandy!

[LauraS]

45 minutes on the exercise bike for me for Monday, Sep 12.
I expect I will always be a day behind on the chart, as I'm a couple of hours behind you, and generally work out after dinner.

That's great news, Tiza! You will have so much fun getting in shape!

I know it's a bit of a change. Angie is much more of a morning person than I Some nights I'm up until midnight, so if I think I'll be up late, I'll wait until the last minute to post the chart.

You can just go ahead and mark me off as exercising 2 hours each Sunday between 9/18 and 12/18

Today I got my confirmation email for the Taiko class. In the email it says:
"You won't need to bring anything to the first class -- just wear clothing which provides free movement and that you don't mind sweating in. A lot. Especially the first few weeks. Be prepared to hit, bounce, stretch, walk, and jump a whole lot, so dress appropriately."

Gosh kiddo - where DO you get these adorable little themed guys?
I'll be anxious to hear how you like this class. Our local rec center is offering a class called "Drums Alive" which looks to be the same as this only they are using drum sticks on stability balls. It is offered during my work hours, unfortunately. But I'm still interested !!

[Jen Reed]

Everyone is off to a great start!

9/13 45 min at the gym

[sarabethp]

9/13 - Got my 20 min circuit routine done. I'm feeling less fatigued than last week. This is good. I might start adding a bike ride in.

[Ro]

9/13 - Did 40 minutes of Thai Chi. This one is deceptive. I didn't think it would be much of a workout and was going to go walking afterwards, but I was sweating like crazy once I'd finished. Lots of deep breathing. Loved it!

I found these little guys from http://smileys.on-my-web.com/

The class you mentioned sounds much more exercise-oriented that mine. Drumming on stability balls would be interesting, because each hit would bounce back at you, so you'd have to work those muscles. I bet that would be a great upper-body workout.

[SodScrap]

Tuesday is done!! I got in a 30 minute walk first thing this morning!

Let's DO THIS Ladies!

[AngRoCamp]

Willy was hogging the computer last night so I couldn't check in before bed, but I did get my exercise done for Monday 9/12 I did 30 minutes of Dance Central on the Kinect. Great sweat and lots of fun!

I'd like to try Tai Chi. Some of my TurboJam workouts have part of it as a cooldown, but only for a couple minutes.

[Jane in N.Z]

signing in for monday 12th, tuesday, and wed (it is wed here) I have not got off to a good start as sick again for the 4th time this winter!!

No exercise monday but tuesday I had to take the car to the garage so caught the bus back and walked 1km home (I know its not far but when your sick its far enough ) No exercise today either

[PBarnes]

9/13 - 45 minute brisk walk

I've taken a Tai Chi class and really enjoyed it. It was geared to those over 50 so it probably was a bit milder than a regular class. I have a DVD and I've only been able to make it through the warm up! I'm going to have to dig that DVD out and give it a try again.

I am about to go work out I just had to officially post I am now at 30 lbs OFF! No one else cares except us... so I had to tell somebody!!

Woohoo! That's quite an accomplishment.

WTG Brandy! Awesome!

9/12= 30 minutes aqua aerobics. HA! I'm soo impressed with me! LOL

WTG Candy! WooHoo!

1) Tuesday done--Push Circuit 1 for the last time.
2) Monday--fail. I started back to work for real this week and yesterday was overwhelming because...
3) marching band kicked in this past weekend, adding to the cross-country meets we've been attending. We left the house at 6:30 AM Saturday and got home at 2 AM Sunday, then got up early for church, napped after lunch and then returned for a youth rally/bonfire. And...
4) on Friday we hosted the CC team pasta party.

So basically my house was a mess, there were no groceries in the house or clean white clothes (if you know what I mean.) Exercising just didn't happen. I'll make it up on Sunday....

5) Way to go, Brandy!!

6) Whoever was looking for ChaLean, you have to order it online.

April - I think us west coast gals are all going to look like the slackers! LOL! I tend to do mine in the evening also with my wee morning hour work schedule!

I am done with Tuesday: Jillian's 6 Week 6 Pack level 1. Still struggling with my endurance.

I've never done TaiChi ... can you do it just from the dvd or do you recommend taking the class ... are there moves to learn??

Tuesday 9/13 35 minute brisk walk with Tom. My long-legged husband was kind and went my short legged speed!! We did 2 miles plus a wee bit more. Now I'm going to get my upper body weights routine done and then maybe have cereal for dinner. Not hungry at the moment and it is too late (7:35 pm) to start anything for dinner. Poor Tom ....

Great Job, Lei! I'm impressed that you did all that walking then go home and do MORE! I am seriously a slacker.

You crack me up about Tom eating cereal for dinner.

Tuesday done. I did my 20-Minute TurboJam workout today with the wrist weights.

I cut him some slack. I forgot I had left over garlic lime chicken from the other day and I had stir fry veggies in the freezer so I baked him a potato (too lazy to cook rice!) and stir fried the veggies and chicken. I also had some chick and veg instead of the carb cereal. AND got my weights done ... I feel fab!!

[Soxfanjen]

Done for 9/13 step class followed by bike ride

[CreativeSparkle]

We're back from our our whirlwind trip to St. George and I forgot to check in for yesterday (9/12/11). I swam with the kids, we played laser tag and we walked quite a bit at Tuacahn (the outdoor amphitheater where we saw the live production of "The Little Mermaid" yesterday, it was fabulous!). I was so happy that I wasn't all winded after the walk in from the parking lot, going up the stairs to will call and getting to our seats. I used to be really tired out by all that and it didn't seem like anything this time so I was really happy with my progress! I haven't weighed in yet and I'm not looking forward to that because we ate lots of rich food and I wasn't really in healthy mode, but it was a mini-vacation so I guess I'll just pick myself up and start over tomorrow.

We did a lot packing up and such today, but not enough I care to count it. However, after our 5 hours of driving home and unpacking stuff I'm kind of tired and I just want to go to bed. I'm going to water aerobics tomorrow am and will make up today another day this week. Sorry, for the slacking I'm just beat. I'll have to catch up on my reading tomorrow. I'm sure everyone is doing awesome!
