Rest day today. I will be a gerbil in the wheel again tomorrow morning at 7:30 followed by the weights. Ouchie.

[JBetty]

At least you'll be in a wheel. Could be worse...

[KrisNYG]

I made it. Added 5 minutes to my run time from Thursday. Increased weights/reps a little (arms, core, legs, etc..). May go tomorrow to start off candy day right, if not I'll make the traditional Easter walk on the beach longer.

[Ginger Snap]

Haven't done anything since Wednesday but it's my birthday weekend...I got down at the Brooklyn bowl though- and my heart felt like it was going to pump out of my chest,so actually I'm calling that an hour of cardio.

Back at it tomorrow- i usually do an intense cardio on Mondays.

[Ginger Snap]

Cardio yesterday and a shortish hike today. Would have gone farther but my babygirl wasn't feeling well. Probably do some planks and back/trap stuff at home tonight.

[TakeAStepBack]

Off day. Buying a new ca be a pain. Though Im ah be gettin a stealy dans wheel deal

[In A Silent Way]

Cardio and upper body tonight.

[KrisNYG]

Went Tuesday and today. Upped more weights and am now running for 25 straight minutes (although slowly ). Ouchie.

[deadheadskier]

back, bis and abs today

[In A Silent Way]

Nice wook everybrahdy!

[KrisNYG]

You too Dave!

[Ginger Snap]

To catch up, Friday 2 zumba classes of which I still feel like I took body blows, Saturday a pretty decent hike, and today jumping over the jettys at the beach.

[Ginger Snap]

cardio

[KrisNYG]

Upped the running speed on Sunday and yesterday. More weights but less ouchies.

Nice job Wit! My gym offers Zumba. I'm going to have to use the treadmill so I can lurk during one of the classes. I believe I'm far too uncoordinated for such endeavors.

Meh, if my clients can do it (and they DO It's AWESOME) then you can do it. I will say, it is a much different experience shaking your ass to someone else's moves while sober than you're own all hopped up.

[KrisNYG]

Think they'd frown on me participating all hopped up? I'd sign a waiver and promise to amuse the other Zumba goers.

[Ginger Snap]

Oh that's what I'm planning- right after I learn how to do the shoulder thing during cha cha and finally get salsa down.

Tonight she killed me- I fully expect everything to hurt tomorrow. Yay!: abs, arms and shoulders, glutes, hams, and calves.

[Ginger Snap]

Awesome hike today. Such a beautiful day.

[Ginger Snap]

Quick run up Blue Hills Friday, Cardio with Petra Monday (fuck you Petra!) and total body melt today: arms and shoulders, thighs and glutes, and yikes abs

I start my raw food detox on Monday- pretty excited about that.

[deadheadskier]

bis, backs and abs today.

I really need to start doing more cardio or diet. jelly belly'd

[KrisNYG]

Slacked off a little this week, wasn't feeling so hot. If I feel great I'll be going back in tomorrow morning, if not Saturday. Trying to be good with the foodie intake on the days off.

Good job!

[Ginger Snap]

Went to a class tonight but she was targeting every damn muscle I worked hard last night. yay abs butts and biceps!

[Ginger Snap]

Great hike today in NH- preparing tonight for the raw food detox I start tomorrow- going to try and sprout some mung beans. I know you're jealous.

[deadheadskier]

where did you hike in NH?

willed myself to the gym today. It was a pretty lazy effort overall, but it was an effort

[Ginger Snap]

Bear Brook- Catamount Hill- down rt 4 past Pawtuckaway. =)

[deadheadskier]

nice, never been

I'll have to check it out.

[Ginger Snap]

It's not very difficult terrain, but it's interesting to look at. How much flooding did that area get last fall during the hurricane...it looks like the river got chopped up in a couple areas and massive trees fallen everywhere at one point on the trail. I'll definitely be bringing the kids to that spot sometime this summer, I'll let yall know when we do maybe you can join us.

I took a leisurely walk yesterday with a couple clients, but by the time the afternoon came I felt really burned out and a little overwhelmed with all the things I needed to do at home, so I didn't do anything. Sucks cause tonight and tomorrow I can't do my regular workout because I have meetings in the evening. Hopefully I'll at least have the energy for an elliptical or something.

[deadheadskier]

Didn't get any flooding in this area during the hurricane. I'm guessing the damage you saw was from one of the major spring floods we've had over the past 5 years

[In A Silent Way]

Tonight: upper body, cardio for dessert.
Yesterday: cardio.
Tuesday: upper body.

Ripped. Kang'd.

[Ginger Snap]

Did some strength training and cardio on Thursday nad Friday and went for a hike yesterday. Tried to do a strength class today with an instructor I just love, But really struggled the whole time- I'm in day 8 of my raw food cleanse and I get nauseated and dizzy when I get to a certain activity level. It's really starting to piss me off.

Still have a bike ride to the train and a walk with a client today.

[Ginger Snap]

Much better tonight- arms, shoulders, back, ans abs...AND my BMI calculates to a HEALTHY WEIGHT! Yay!

[In A Silent Way]

Ain't did shit yesterday. Went Tuesday night for cardio > upper body > cardio.

[Ginger Snap]

I did this kettle ball class tonight It sucked drills fro most of it. bleck, but at least I went- that felt good.

[jnjn]

awesome!! congrats wit!

[Ginger Snap]

Thanks jnjn! So glad to be finished detoxing- I've been able to work at the level I want to the past couple days- now THAT feels good! My ass is killing my from last nights class, and kept up pretty well with cardio step tonight line dancing for yuppie suburbanites! Got a couple more moves under my belt too. Now to get rid of these damn bat wings!

[Ginger Snap]

Holy crap my ass hurts!

[jnjn]

what kind of glute workouts do they have you doing in class?


i swam SO much better last night! was able to immediately get into my "groove" (usually takes 1-2 laps to get back to good form) & i was able to complete multiple 150 yd. drills (was never able to do more than 100 w/o feeling spent). my triceps still get sore pretty quickly, but my coach says it's normal & that i just need more conditioning. gonna try to get back in the pool this weekend

Do you compete?

[jnjn]

not yet. the nyc tri in july was to be my first, but the docs have advised against it. i just recently deferred my entry to next year. i might still do something organized before then depending on how i feel. perhaps a sprint tri or duathlon

[Ginger Snap]

Still hurts. I'm pretty sure this week it was from Kettlebell swing and snatch, I hadn't done it before, and at first thought it really foolish, but seemed to take to it and was like whoa the past two days. I'll keep doing that one.

I missed something, were yoou injured jnjn?

[deadheadskier]

Kettle Ball swings definitely whoop the ass

There's a woman at my gym who lost 100# by changing her diet and doing a 20 minute kettle work out a 5 days a week for a year.

They're hard as hell. I was doing them for a while, but I found I prefer more traditional lifting workouts to target various body parts by day. Kettle workouts are typically full body.

I've somewhat fallen off the wagon lately only getting in 2-3 workouts a week. My summer schedule is much easier though with only taking one class, so I plan on kicking things back up.

[jnjn]

oh cool! i've been looking to get into the kettle bell workouts for a while now. haven't tried, but it looks like fun & it'll definitely break up the monotony of my current workout.

yea, i had a foot/ankle "mishap" some time ago. trying to get back into the swing of things

[halfstar]

Any of you pansies still workout out or have you all gone soft? I thought so. Christ.
