My Exercise Additions

Saturday, July 26, 2008

So I've been doing the biggest loser 100, the 10 day challenge challenge, crunches and some extra strength training things since Thursday and I really feel great. Cardio is not a problem for me, but the rest is. I like the idea that I've made a plan for next week and I will stick to it.

Congrats on your weekend challenge and putting a plan into place for this week. I'm like you in that I don't mind cardio- could walk all day, but the strength training wears me out! Report Inappropriate Comment

I hate weight training too! Report Inappropriate Comment

You're the opposite of me. I love weight training but hate cardio. Having a plan is always a good thing. Keep up the good work. Report Inappropriate Comment

Exercise Goals for Next Week

Thursday, July 24, 2008

So, one of my Sparkbuddies suggested I get more specific and map out my plan a little more, so here goes.

I'm going to try going to some group fitness classes at the gym-I've heard bodysculpting is great, so I'm going. I've taken my agenda and planned in time to go to the class.

My schedule for next week:

Sunday: 60 mins cardio, core exercises, at home s.t. focusing on arms (15 minutes worth)
Monday: Bodysculpting at 10am...see how that goes, core exercises
Tuesday: 60 mins cardio, core exercises, at home s.t. focusing on legs (15 minutes worth)
Wednesday: 40 mins cardio, Bodyscultping (if I like it), core exercises
Thursday: 60 mins cardio, core exercises, at home s.t. focusing on arms (15 minutes worth)
Friday: 45 mins cardio, core exercises, at home s.t. focusing on legs (15 minutes)
Saturday: 60 mins cardio, core exercises, at home s.t. focusing on arms

Here's my Idea of S.T. exercises, but I'm sure this will change :)
Core exercises: 3 sets (12-15) of crunches and reverse crunches daily + one extra from Spark

P.S. Just did the strength exercises that Spark told me to do today and I feel the burn...I want to keep that up! I'd much rather lose 3-5% of muscle than 35%!

Goals are a great idea. Don't get discouraged if you don't meet all your dates. 10 pounds/month is a BIG loss and not easy to obtain. I wish you success! Report Inappropriate Comment
