Bootcamp

Tuesday, December 04, 2012

It time to change my workout! I have been working out at "crunch" for over 2 years and instead of losing weight, I gained 10 lbs :( I would love to say its muscle! But I don't think so. In order for me to get those pounds off I needed a change. I tried a boot camp called "All the way fit" in roseville and I loved it. I have lost 2 pounds which I thought would be impossible during the holidays. I think this has given me a kick start to getting me back on track. I am also using the tracker to plan my meals which I know is an important key in getting those stubborn pounds off.

Part of me wants to try a boot camp and part of me is scared senseless to. I have a problem getting yelled at. I know I am a wimp when it comes with that. It sounds like you are doing a *GREAT* job. Report Inappropriate Comment

yoga

Saturday, October 27, 2012

Yesterday I did a workout on the treadmill and then 30 mins of yoga. I felt really good afterwards! Then last night I worked 3 hours out at my daughters football game. this morning my back is killing me. I have taken motrin and I have a hot pack on my back.
I usually do an hour of yoga on Saturday mornings and I am debating do I agitate my back more or will it actually feel better. I wish I knew the answer. Right now I am leaning towards just taking a walk with my dog and then a pedicure so I can sit in those massage chairs...Any words of wisdom from my fellow sparkers would be appreciated!

Maybe just do some light stretching that won't agitate your back, but take a break from everything else today. Let your body rest! Report Inappropriate Comment

workout decisions

Thursday, March 22, 2012

The decision for today is what class to do at the gym. Two days ago I decided to take a class called Belly Butt Thighs, which I have done in the past but not for a while. I love this class because it works out the areas I really need to tone. the issue I am having today is that I am still sore! Do I take the class again today and hope that it "works" out my soreness or do I take it easy and just exercise on a cardio machine and then take pilates? Why is it so hard to decide. Is it my brain convincing my body not to overdo it? Or is it a lame excuse to not workout hard?

I usually decide based on the degree and style of the soreness. If I'm having trouble sitting and standing and it's tight and painful, I'll usually give it more recovery time and do something focused on another body area (arms, for example). If it's just an ache in the muscle (not pain, but sore / used feeling) and feels better when I get up and move, I'll work it again. Report Inappropriate Comment

yoga

Saturday, August 13, 2011

Today I am starting the day off by going to my yoga class with my daughters and niece!
I never though I would say that. First of all I was afraid to try something new like yoga. the thought of making a fool of myself while trying to workout was holding me back. Secondly, now I have a support team who encourages me to go to the gym and try all the new classes, and I feel really energetic when I am done. here's hoping that everyone has that moment in life when they decide that it's time to take a chance and try something new and then discover it was the best decision ever made!

Trying new stuff is what keeps exercise interesting! Remember that everyone in these classes was new at some point, so they've all been where you are. You are not alone! I'm glad you have a support system. It really does make a difference, doesn't it? Report Inappropriate Comment

Working and working out

Friday, July 22, 2011

This summer my work schedule has changed making my schedule crazy. I am still working out, in fact today my daughgtsr and I went to the gym and worked out for one hr. This was her first time and I was a little worried she might not want to go again If I pushed her too hard. But she had a great time and I am looking forward to having a workout partner! thanks for all my spark friends who have kept in touch. Just want you to know that even if I am not here too often, I am still logging my food on my iPhone and working out even though I am not logging the hours.

Good for you for keeping on keeping on! I know how difficult it is to adapt to a new schedule, but having a workout partner should really help. Report Inappropriate Comment
