    March TDL TOPIC

    THIS PAGE IS FOR ALL NEW TO THE CHALLENGE FOLK. ALL RETURNING MEMEBERS GO TO THIS WEEKS TOPIC PAGE AND READS THE EXTRACREDIT BEFORE YOUR POST PLEASE.

    iF YOU ARE NEW TO THIS CHALLENGE PLEASE READ THIS POST SO YOU KNOW WHAT IS GOING ON AND THEN FIND THE EXTRA CREDIT FOR THE CURRENT WEEK IF YOU WANT TO ANSWER IT POST YOUR PLEDGE AND GOALS FOR THE CURRENT WEEK


    TRIPLE DIGIT LOSERS CENTURY CLUB EXERCISE CHALLENGE

    This challenge is for all folks who have 100+ pounds to lose, are in the process of losing 100+ pounds or have lost 100+ pounds. There are no charts no measurements only your made goal or you didn't and what you are going to do next week There is a thinking extra credit question too which is optional.
    We have very different obstacles to overcome in dealing with exercises, equipment and how our bodies respond to new exercise programs then the lightweight losers do. You can be in this challenge and all the other challenges on the exercise board too. This is an open enrollment, weekly commitment to your exercise goals based on your ability. Use the thread to post your questions, concerns, cheers and even your failures. If you see someone out on the board who would qualify for our challenge invite them to do so. We will have a new topic each month so the poor server doesn't have a coronary loading all the CC members who are going to join this challenge TDL weekly reports for 12 months just so each of us can read what our fellow TDL members have posted in this coming DEC. Hopefully the mods will archive it for us so you can look back and see where you were and how far you have come.

    I know from running one of these on other boards we have had quite a few alien abductions so don't laugh about that part.After all now CC memeber would willingly stop doing the exercise part of their Atkins program right )


    The pledge:
    I, ______________(Please use your screen name here so folks can see who has posted and how needs a nudge) promise unless injured or abducted by aliens to do the workout I have committed to do this week and report my results faithfully the following Monday.

    WEEK 1
    take setbacks in stride
    … Learn from your mistakes and keeping looking toward the future.

    Goals
    Make goals for what you will accomplish this week. Be realistic, make them attainable. Challenge yourself, but don’t set yourself up for failure by promising more than you know you can do. When I started out I was doing 2MPH for 20 minutes and thought I was Rocky on top of those steps. Now I'm in much better shape and can do much more much faster so if I posted I was doing that now I hope y'all would kick my butt for being an exercise slug.

    WEEK 9


    We are using the the program factors factors from The Motivation to Move by Vicki R. Pierson & Renee Cloe

    ACE Certified Personal Trainers
    While most people acknowledge how important exercise and physical activity are to the human body, few are regularly active enough to receive significant health benefits. Estimates suggest that 40% of the American population is considered completely sedentary, while less than 20% are active at an intensity and frequency recommended for cardiovascular benefit. Worse yet, the dropout rates for those who do begin an exercise program reach 50% or more by the end of the first six months.

    There are three types of factors that affect our motivation to stay with an exercise program. Personal factors have to do with you and your perceptions toward exercise. Program factors focus on the exercise program, it's convenience and the enjoyment you derive from it. Environmental factors deal with your external world that you can, and at times, can not control.

    take setbacks in stride
    … Learn from your mistakes and keeping looking toward the future.

    Goals
    Make goals for what you will accomplish this week. Be realistic, make them attainable. Challenge yourself, but don’t set yourself up for failure by promising more than you know you can do. When I started out I was doing 2MPH for 20 minutes and thought I was Rocky on top of those steps.

    Is your program convenient? (Time of day, number of weekly sessions, schedule flexibility, accessibility to facilities)

    Does your chosen activity require special, costly or time-consuming preparation?

        I'm in.....

        Here I am...I did 30 min. of calistenics (sorry spelling) and 45 min of low impact areobics (class). It was really tough but everyone in the class was great (eventhough I could'nt get the steps just yet).
        My goal: To be able to complete the class - 1 hour - and do all of the steps.
        (I'm sure it will get easier when I drop some lbs)

        I, __Kindandbeautiful___(Please use your screen name here so folks can see who has posted and how needs a nudge) promise unless injured or abducted by aliens to do the workout I have committed to do this week and report my results faithfully the following Monday.

                Today I did a "STEP" class (remember those).
                It was an awesome workout - I tried to keep up and the way they jump around that step made me dizzy.

                I know it will get easier with time and less weight. This is my 2 official workout this week - Saturday is another aerobics class.

                My motto today: Keep going no matter what!

                  I'm back thanks to 2big! Nope, the Alien's didn't get me. I have been working my hiney off all over this farm. Does that count 2big?
                  The boys and I cut walking sticks and headed out Tues, Wed, and this am for a walk around the perimeter of the property. We did this 4 times last week and our goal was to do it 5 times this week. Not to mention we cleared 1/4 acre of brush with a livel-lad (is that spelled right)?
                  I am exhausted. I didn't know my bones could hurt this much.
                  And I didn't know I could sweat that much.
                  But it is absolutely worth it. Not only am I getting my exercise, but I have more than just cleared land to show for it.
                  My body is toning. I am noticing less cellulite in my legs and a more smooth appearance. I am so sore in the am, but as soon as I get this body of mine moving, the tenderness goes away and I'm pumped!!!
                  So no, I haven't been doing traditional exercise, but I have been working this body!

                  Tomorrow? We clear all the weeds away from the chicken coop.... We have a beautiful shade of barn red yet to be painted on. Gotta be ready for those dang chickens!
                  And we are widening the creek... it overflows when it rains.
                  Guess I'll be pooped tomorrow too!

                  So do I still qualify as a TDL participant???

                    I met my goal of last week (4 cardio -4weights) by working out 6 days of cardio for 35 minutes or more (one 1.5 hour bike ride included). I intend to meet the same goal this week. I might only do 3 days of weights as I am already behind.

                      lost and found if you read the rules you and you alone determine your exercisae goals for the week and post them walking is a fine exercise I'm sure weed pulling is a resistance exercise too. so post your weekly goals and then tell us if you did or didn't make goal that week. and what you plan to do as your goal for the4 next week.

                        The aliens were trying to get a hold on me......but thankfully 2big send me a pm and that scared the aliens away!

                          OK, I got dragged back in here after the aliens dropped me off.....<g>

                          I did 30 min jog twice on treadmill this week, 20 min once on bike and 20 min on stairmill. Three days of weights too. My foot and hip hurt like a mother, sigh.....I'll try for the same next week.

                            I'll jump into this one! Thanks 2big for inspiring us!

                            This week's question:

                            What's your biggest fear when it comes to exercise? How realistic is this fear?
                            My biggest fear is that I'm exercising too soon and I won't have a metabolic advantage to help me over a weight loss hump.

                            I don't know how realistic fear ever is! Still, instead, when I hit a weight loss stall, instead of worrying, I'll change up my exerise routine, since sometimes muscle memory makes our bodies a little more complacent than they should be.

                            I find that when I either add more intensity to my workout, or try something new, I start losing again.

                            I walk 4 miles 5 days a week on an incline of 2.
