What did you do for exercise today?

[AXOmom]

Helped shepard, herd, corral (pick your verb) a group of 4th graders through their last day of VBS which included water games and a carnival, and then I helped tear the whole thing down, but I was rewarded with pizza and candy, so I don't think my body came out ahead. My stomach's super happy though.

Week 4 Day 1 of Couch 2 5K.

And I have to say Week 3 Day 3 to Week 4 Day 1 is an awful big jump. So tired.

LOL cause I never finished this.

I walked a little over 3 miles today. I did The Biggest Loser Wii game yesterday, so I get a break

ETA: I think I'll post the routine I'm going to try to start following too...

- Gym at least 2 days a week, before work.
- Wii exercise or a work out video another two days a week.
- I'm also going to try my best to walk to the train. Lately I've been walking two blocks to the bus, then taking the bus to the train, and on my way home, I call someone to pick me up. If I replace that ride and the bus with all walking, I will burn 1250 calories a week, JUST by going to and from work. It's so easy, yet I hate it right now because I can't stand cold weather lol

Time to resurface this thread to help encourage everyone for their New Year's Resolutions! It's always helpful/encouraging to see others getting fit!

What I did today: Woke up & did 45 minutes of yoga & 15 minutes of ballet bar exercises.

My new plan (my old one was so boring I could hardly be forced to do it) for exercise & fitness includes:
- Trying to get into yoga a bit and integrating that with my old ballet exercises. One of my main goals is to just tone up my legs and get them back to where they used to be when I was a ballerina/cheerleader/gymnastics coach. I actually found a good Youtube video for beginners with the yoga stuff in it so it gives me something to follow.
- A "Gym Day" where I actually trek down to the gym and do some time either on the bike or elliptical for cardio/endurance & also hope to mix this with a little bit of light weights. Possibly thinking of this as separate days, but I know I won't want to go down to the gym all the time, especially in the snow & not to mention I don't have time for this each day.
- Walking. Once it gets nice out I'm definitely going to have a morning walk. I live right beside a very large park.
- Aerobics. Either on the Wii or finding a YouTube video to follow

Since getting bored and dreading the boredom is something that throws me off a lot, I'm going to mix these things up over various days.
Here's too a new fitness plan & hoping I can make it work! Good luck to everyone else who's got related resolutions as well!

I recently started a 30 day Bikram yoga challenge. I'm on day 3 and I think I'm a bit nuts. Ninety minutes of hot yoga every day is super challenging!

I just started the same thing! I am currently alternating between loving it and questioning what I got myself into.

I always question myself halfway through the standing series! I went 3x a week when I was in grad school, but where I live now had no studio until last month. My body hates me right now, but I'm excited to stick with it.

I typically do Zumba (at home) or some sort of fitness glass at the gym/plus some cardio.
