Re: The Goalie's Challenge Exercise Thread

Glad to see everyone's still at the old exercise!

Had a wonderful walk exploring the island today...found some beautiful spots... and burned a few cals too!

That's one cool website to figure out your mileage, Sadie!

Tootle-oo...

Re: The Goalie's Challenge Exercise Thread

Sally i agree that website is great! I didn't have any idea how far i was running, i was considering turning on the trip metre in my car and driving the route so i could figure out the km's LOL


Today I did 20 mins pilates, and chest and shoulders at the gym. Only did a 1.5 mile run today, I'm feeling a little burned out and didn't wanna push it. The weather is perfect for running though! 15deg c and sunny!

My abs are killing me from the pilates, my arms from the weights and my legs from the running, it's a wonder i can type!

Re: The Goalie's Challenge Exercise Thread

i am here!
good to see you, kent! thanks for joining in!
justright, you did well holding down the fort!
sadiejen, i have the same problem on vacation....can't seem to keep up with things.
sally, congrats on meeting and exceeding the ab challenge!


i didn't do much in the way of exercise during all of this chaos. i can tell you that i walked up and down the stairs here at least 70 times on the day of the actual move. my legs and butt and arms were soooo sore the following day.
i am ready to get back into the swing of things. i joined the ab challenge again and started a ball pushup challenge, both for april. i don't know if the "any exercise equipment" challenge will be going or not. i do plan on biking though. i need to get busy and earn that silver award.

my weight is no better no worse. still hovering now at 126 to 128 depending on how late i eat. i still am under a boatload of stress. i would love to see 5 pounds disappear. i just have to keep on this and see where i end up.

it's good to be back!

Re: The Goalie's Challenge Exercise Thread

Hi guys sorry computer time has been very limited with Mother not cooperating right now.

I've been doing my treamilling whikle she sleeps and my exercise ball stuff while she gets dressed and taking a mental health break in the gym so my exercise isn't sufferring. now that spring is here and her flowers are blooming and sprouting I'm sure I will get even more workout gardening her over run jungle of plants. Happy low carbing.

Re: The Goalie's Challenge Exercise Thread

Welcome back Jimmie!

I'm also back from my working vacation. Was wonderful...not too much work and lots of vacation. Got in my exercise most days too, so am feeling virtuous. Also, while hub was overhauling his boat, I explored the island on foot. Lovely!

On the downside, Sicilian food tempts one to overeat a bit...but, I managed to avoid the cannoli yet again, s as for eating a little too much... well, what the ****! It was a vacation! Time to cut back a little now.

Oh wow Jimmie... a staircase challenge! I'd chip in with at least eight flights a day... and 2big could start a gardening challenge too!

Re: The Goalie's Challenge Exercise Thread

welcom back sal!
now are you pulling my leg or do you think a stair challenge would go over? we have challenges for everything else. maybe somebody who isn't doing anything at all but has to climb stairs at their work or house would get in the mood to use it as actual exercise.

should i start this?
oh, the gardening thing may work! i could use that!

[jimmie 48]

Re: The Goalie's Challenge Exercise Thread

oh, and as to up my post count by one.............
sal, good for you being so good with your exercise and eating. it's hard to go on vacation, out of the routine of home, and stay as good as you did! well done!

Re: The Goalie's Challenge Exercise Thread

Stairclimbing challenge..what a great idea, i'd be in! I actually just started using the stairmaster at the gym, what a great workout it is!


I've been really good the past 2 weeks. Running Mon-Friday at least 1.5 miles a day. Been going to the gym tues - friday, doing weights and stairmaster. Also been doing my pilates 20 mins a day - even talked hubby into trying a couple of pilates exercises along with crunches (he's convinced i shrunk his jeans, he's having a hard time doing them up LOL). today's my first slackoff day, I have a meeting that will keep my from the gym today (i have a non prime hours membership so i can't go after 5). but that's ok..i'll go back tomorrow.

Re: The Goalie's Challenge Exercise Thread

Yep Jimmie... I'm with Sadie: I think your staircase challenge is a great idea! I mean, most of us climb stairs every day, so why not? Bet you'd get a whole host of takers!

Did 50 mins of Rosemary Conley's dance video instead of the usual exercise. Phew! Then took the doggies out for forty mins as usual.

Re: The Goalie's Challenge Exercise Thread

and since I'm leading the way for wannabe to aim for upping my post count one more.

I've been doing the gym and treadmilling doing my ball pushups but haven't been getting my free sitting on the ball exercise situps since Mother has been acting up the last 2 weeks.

Re: The Goalie's Challenge Exercise Thread

you guys are a great encouragement to me. thank you! i'll start a challenge. give me some ideas on how it should be "run", please. i have thought i would put 20 pennies or pieces of paper or something at the bottom of the steps and each time i came up i would grab one and deposit it at the top. if i find i am under shooting i'll add some pennies to the grab pile. any other ideas?

i got on the ball literally today. it is really hard to get into a routine. jack is not working so he is here laying carpet and other things. i need some normal boring days in a bad bad way.

i did some stretching, ball squats, biking, crunches, ball push ups, ball squats and leg lifts. i lacked 1 lousy point to reach 39,000 on the presidential award.

okay, give me some pointers on the stair challenge and i'll get that going!
