Re: The Goalie's Challenge Exercise Thread

good to see you JImmie 48. I was thinking about you this weekend when the NASCAR stuff was on. Winter water is hard for lots of folk. but the dry central air gas heater we got around here helps make me thirsty too.

I did my HIIT today and will be heading to the gym in the AM.

Re: The Goalie's Challenge Exercise Thread

Spent some time in the main forum tonight, so must be quick. Good to see you all, hiya again Jimmie, and glad you are on track.

Made my cardio goal (every other night) so far this week, toned down a bit last night because of my cold, just couldn't finish it. But tomorrow should be better.

Benji had his 1-yr well baby today, and he's a giant. I don't think I could have LOST the weight just lugging him, but he's sure a big part of maintaining LOL. He's loving our squat routine, but never has gotten to like being lifted up above my head. But he does OK with the push outs and squats and just being danced around. Doc was totally impressed with his eating habits too, as he eats anything, and mostly what I eat (minus the allergy factor of course).

Off to bed, some rest may be just what the doctor ordered to ditch this end of summer cold

Re: The Goalie's Challenge Exercise Thread

I'm definately a winter water person for the same reason 2big..the dry furnace air here drives me crazy! You know Jimmie you might notice now that you'll be living in a colder climate you might be drinking more water this winter than you think. I find drinking lots of water helps hydrate my skin too....

Sorry to hear your not feeling well Nicksmom...it's great your getting your cardio in though..i find that very hard when i've got a cold.

I've kept up with my running so far this week, though yesterday i got worried i'd pulled a muscle in my thigh, oddly enough the pain started while i was doing my warm up walk. . once I started running I was fine.

My back has still been sore, so have my knees lately. I'm thinking it's from running on concrete. I bought some of those gel insoles for my runners i'm hoping that helps. I'm also going to go buy some new shoes tomorrow since it's payday. Mine aren't that old but they're kind of tight..

Re: The Goalie's Challenge Exercise Thread

sorry you aren't feeling well woo hoo for Benji seems all your exercise is helping him too soo he can start exercising on the ground with you. the over the head stuff if you are strong enough upeer body might work if y'all layed down on the bed and sit him above your head and lift him off the bed to fly him Have him spread his arms out like plane wings. once he loves that doing it standing as flying might work. or you could just ask him if he wants to fly like a plane and then demonstart with big brother holding him up with his arms out like wings cause little ones love to imatae big ger guys.


Sorry your back isn't getting better. When you go for your shoes do it at a running store and get a stride analysis could be you got the wrong type shoe for your stride type of you got a correctable running flaw.

Did my gym and cardio today. Have an appointment with the neighbors lawn today. they went away and left the daughter and grand kids there and it seems with work and the kids and the rain she hasn't been able to mow it. Since the neighbors did Mother's when I couldn't get it mowed cause of the rain and Mother I think I owe them one. It is about 2 fet tall so it will be at least a double mowing to get it back to normal size without killing it.

Re: The Goalie's Challenge Exercise Thread

did 45 minutes of biking today along with some crunches, leg lifts (which i think i forgot to log in my stats journal) and some ball push ups

those things are killing me.

sadie, sorry you aren't quite up to par. same with you mis. are the goalies falling apart around here?

sal, finishe the dome and has only one birtual building climb to do! go sal, go!!

2big, i did my neighbors yard this week, too. his wasn't 2 feet tall, though. just think of the extra free exercise you got cutting the grass.

Re: The Goalie's Challenge Exercise Thread

yep we have had so much rain I'm doing it twice a week now on ours and I didn't know they had gone so it is really up there. clogged the mower last night so I had to make adjustments on it for today. and will need to cut the 6 inch high stuff later this week.

Re: The Goalie's Challenge Exercise Thread

Ugh on the lawn mowing. You all can keep that.

Made my cardio, 3rd time this week thank you very much. I've started doing my lunge/squat/pop after it, just to mix it up a bit.

Feeling much better today, thanks all. And Benji must be too, because he hasn't been able to sleep (because he can't breathe), but last night he slep 13 hours! And woke up raring to go He's walking all over now, so he will be exercising with me before long. He dances to everything, it's so cute.

Off to bed, tomorrow am starts another big weekend. We just have so FEW summer weekends in MN, we pack a lot in

Take care all!

Hugs
Denise

Re: The Goalie's Challenge Exercise Thread

Glad to hear you're feeling better Denise... and sorry to hear your back is still playing you up Sadie. Great that the both of you are keeping on trotting!

Jimmie and 2big... all that gardening! Wonderful workouts! Either of you care to hop over here to do mine????

Got a good walk and exercise routine done this morning... also picked wild mint and figs for my friend. Too sugary for me (the figs).

Still climbing, and soon to get stuck into the mountains. They'll keep me busy for years the rate I go!

Re: The Goalie's Challenge Exercise Thread

sal! i would love to come to italy to do some gardening! i don't think jack would go for it though. i'll ask

ms. good to see things a bit healthier in you household. you're going to make an exercise guru out of benji.

plan for the day is to wash the truck and do some biking. i hate failing at any challenge i get into and i stated way too many miles in the biking miles challenge. too late to worry about that now so i'll be peddling alot this month.

[2big4mysize]

Re: The Goalie's Challenge Exercise Thread

did my HIIT today and ball push ups plus some more mowing. Glad benji is feeling better and you are getting there.

On Sallyseachange are you inviting us all over? don't think Mother could handle that but in q few yrs might be nice as I have decided i'm doing my before you die list things as soon as she is dead. not putting anything off ever again.

ROFL just thought I'd share with y'all I finished up the second mowing on the neighbors yard and am chugging some ice water since we are still in the 80s here and up pulls a truck with a commercial mowing machine which proceeds to "mow" the lawn I just finished. I called the neighbor on her cell and she tells me she "heard" it needing mowing on Tuesday and called this company to handle it for her. Oh well they cleaned up all the cut grass left in the yrd and blew off her walks and driveway so I didn't have to rake and sweep.

Re: The Goalie's Challenge Exercise Thread

oh 2big, somebody else coming in to do what you just did is the pits........... although.........you did get in some FREE EXERCISE! i hope the lady at least told you thanks.

i biked, did crunches, ball push ups, and looked up a new execise for the ball on the great site that sam provided. they are called dumbbell chest press on ball. i used my 6.6 weights and did 3 sets of 10.

[2big4mysize]

Re: The Goalie's Challenge Exercise Thread

she was laughing and said she had told them to mow our lawn too if it needed it since she wasn't there to do it for me LOL. I just felt bad she paid him to mow an already mowed lawn.
