STAC exercise challenge

[Evermind]

I am too late to sign up for the current 6 week excercise challenge, but I want to be accountable for my activity until the next one starts in 2 weeks. Therefore, I'm inviting anyone to join me in making a 2-week commitment and posting daily about what you've done.

Because I'm on vacation, I can actually commit to 7 days a week of excercise. I will do a minimum of one type of workout a day - running, cardio and weights at the gym, or yoga or a walk. I will try to fit in TWO, because I'm really enjoying being outside, running or walking, and I can easily get to the gym in addition.

So.......On Thursday, I ran 1 mile and went to the gym. On Friday, 1.5 miles, and the gym. That's my report.

Anyone?

Re: STAC exercise challenge

I'm in!

I go to the gym 5-6 times a week. Monday is Spin class, Tuesday is yoga, Wed is running and Body Pump class, Thursday is running and weights or swimming, Friday is BOSU Conditioning, Sat & Sun are some sort of cardio days. Depending on what's going on in the week - sick kids, etc, I may miss a class, but almost always make up for it as soon as my hubby comes home, when I can jam on over to the gym.

Yesterday, I ran for 1.5 mile, did wave machine (simulates roller blading) for 2 miles.
Today, I plan on running and doing some squats & lunges

My ultimate goal is to run a 5K in the Spring - and of course look slammin naked

Re: STAC exercise challenge

I'm dreading responding to this challenge but I know I need to. It's my first day and Im doing great on the induction but I feel the crappy way ya feel when sugar is being denied. Im headachy and grumpy with no energy. I feel like the flu is coming on but I'm sure its just the program working. Im in on the challenge because exercising is so tough for me, and I need the support. Today Im in bed with aspirin, but I'll have hubby dig out the treadmill for tomorrow.

Goal--walk 30min in morn and 30 min in evening. Someone hold me accountable please.

I will exercise at a minimum 20 minutes per day 6 days per week. My new pilates express class starts on Wednesday so I'm excited about that!

And HealthyMiMi - we've all been through that awful induction flu!!! Don't worry! It will pass You'll make it!

Re: STAC exercise challenge

I have been walking a mile at the gym then doing about 30-45 minutes of weights everyday.....will continue to do so, although will alternate walking a lap, then running a lap....

Re: STAC exercise challenge

Forgot to report in yesterday. I didn't do an a.m. run because TOM showed up and boy, was he, um, heavy? But gym and abs in the afternoon. I feel good about doing this! It's good to have to report.

Re: STAC exercise challenge

Ok, where are we. Let's see.....

Yesterday, did 30 min on Elliptical trainer and then lower body resistence training.

Today, I ran a mile in the a.m., then we went to the gym and had a session with a trainer. He worked my butt off (and my arms) for 45 min. It was FANTASTIC so we are signing up for more sessions, me and dd together.
