February Mix-It-Up Challenge

Re: February Mix-It-Up Challenge

I love Body Pump (and so does Alexa)! Am looking forward to trying out my new gym's version of it this week. I think they call it "Barbell Strength."

I was the only one at the class today! It was like having my very own personal trainer!

I had that once - it was great for getting my form just right.

I think I'll state my exercise plan weekly here. This week is a bit lame because I'm away at the weekend, but I'll try my best:

Monday - Squat, abs, pushups and skipping (I call this homebits) DONE
Tuesday - Kickboxing
Weds - Kickboxing
Thurs - Run
Fri - Homebits
Sat - Away (walk around stately home planned)
Sun - Rest

Re: February Mix-It-Up Challenge

YAY, Alexa and Julie!!

Rich, I love it when that happens!

I got a 1 hour spin class in tonight. WOOHOO

Re: February Mix-It-Up Challenge

Good job with spin, Joy. Your plan looks great for the week, Alexa. Rich, I've never had my own personal Body Pump instruction... you and Alexa have been lucky!

I didn't make it to the gym this morning, but I'm going tonight come **** or high water. 7:15 -- either "Aqua" class (which I think is like water aerobics) or Fitness Yoga...

Re: February Mix-It-Up Challenge

Finished my third type of exercise for the week today -- HIIT on the stairmaster. I haven't been on one of those things in ages. Nice change of pace, and it sure got my heart rate up easily...

The week ends tomorrow (Friday) guys, so just please do me a favor and confirm that you've completed at least 3 different kinds of exercise.

Adena -- done (running, spin, stairmaster)

Re: February Mix-It-Up Challenge

Sorry Adena - didn't realise it was Friday-Friday.

Friday - REST
Saturday - Walking
Sunday - REST
Monday - Squat, abs, pushups and skipping (homebits)
Tuesday - Kickboxing
Weds - Kickboxing and run
Thurs - Run
Fri - Homebits

So 3 kinds done - homebits, kickboxing, run

[Adena]

Re: February Mix-It-Up Challenge

I won't be a stickler, Alexa... but yup, technically the new week starts on Saturday and runs through Friday.

I believe we all completed our 3+ kinds of exercises goals for week 1... great job, everyone! Now... onward!

Re: February Mix-It-Up Challenge

Re: February Mix-It-Up Challenge

Good for you, Joy!! Liked it so much you're coming back for more, huh?

[ValidRouge]

Re: February Mix-It-Up Challenge

LOL yep! Had a great race 1:49 and change is what it will be, I think. That's just under a 12 minute mile, right? I didn't have my gadgets working right. I did the walk run intervals too. I feel GREAT!

Re: February Mix-It-Up Challenge

SATURDAY--I did my strength training today, circuit training if you want to be exact.

Re: February Mix-It-Up Challenge

Joy, awesome start to the new week...! Congratulations -- that's a great time, too! I'm so glad the walk-run method has re-energized your running.

Good job, Jules. This challenge is almost too easy for you -- you're already the Mix It Up queen. But I appreciate you playing along anyway.

Re: February Mix-It-Up Challenge

Sunday--
**HIIT on the treadmill
**intervals on the stationary bike.

Re: February Mix-It-Up Challenge

Good job, Jules -- wow, you've already done your 3 different types of exercise for the week! That means you can have the rest of the week off.

I planned to run today, but didn't feel terrific once I got out there. I almost turned around and went home, but just decided to get in a power walk instead. So, I've walked this week so far....
