HAHAHA!

Did you like that Liv???


Actually I haven't decided on a goal yet, since I am going to California for several weeks soon, and not sure what I will be doing. Although AB exercises are not a difficult thing to do anywhere. I will miss my classes at the club though. Had another Zumba class this am at 9:30.

Funny, we were in a different room than where the other classes usually are (they have 6 large wall fans). But on Saturday they use that room for the little Ballerina class because it has the ballerina bars on the mirrors.
So we only had 1 fan in the our room!!! It was 10 degrees outside, (about -12 C ???) but we opened 3 outside doors to keep cool during the 60 minute Zumba class!!! That is me in the center below...

Re: February Stength Challenge

I am going to up my goal to 495 mins this month. This means I've got to get to the gym 3 times a week with only one exception! Thanks so much you guys and gals for being a great fire underneath my butt!

Hi Liv, OK, I am going to count my Zumba classes here, but only 1/2 the time, since it is not all strength stuff. There is a lot of arm and leg muscle work, and stretching...How is that?
And I would have raised my goal more, but I will be out of town at the end of the month, and since I do not know what my routine will be, I don't want to pledge more at this time.

Re: February Stength Challenge

OK folks, since I'm so competitive with myself, and I keep looking at this challenge, I have to ask.... How many things are you doing, and are you counting your time for multiple challenges???

ie: I'm doing 250 minutes stability ball, 6 wk challenge 3x week, ABS, Squats, PushUps..... Is this time on TOP of all that??? Wow

[liv]

Re: February Stength Challenge

Now I added you the list are you in?

I am counting the stuff for the other challenges in here as well. But then I do yoga and some lifting and stretching that has not other home so that goes here too. So I am doing both. It looks very impressive

I started with some Shred video and some lifting, squats and lunges on top of that

Total Body Conditioning Class
60 minutes, using a weighted ball/weights while stretching, lunges, squats, and more.

I Started the second class that follows afterward,(the easier class), but I felt a little ill in the tummy and dizzy from some of the bending at the ending/cooling stretches, plus I ate breakfast and ran straight to the class, I slept too late---so I left early.
Gonna lay down, sharp tummy pains and nausea.
