Re: February Exercise Thread

Hi, all. Well, it's snowing here. Just light and fluffy and beautiful, but still coming down. Apparently there could be ice under it, so we are staying in today. I'm sure people will still be here for the party since the roads will be driven on by then. We will have 12-14 people. Nothing big -- just our closest friends. The usual gang that always gets together. Hubby and I woke up this morning and got food together and made breakfast and now I'm just relaxing. I might hop on the treadmill a little later. I could fall asleep last night, and then woke up at 6:30. Yuck. So that means.......I'll probably take a nap. Smiley Wink Ok, I hope everyone has a good day. Go Broncos!!

Re: February Exercise Thread

Gym was busy so I did a Katami today. Hard because it's so different from what I've been doing. Good functional moves. I should add this back imto y rotation.

Re: February Exercise Thread

Morning all, sunny skies here and big bright sun. For once we aren't getting the snow.

Checking in with 40 minutes of Treadmill running intervals..

What a blow out of a game last night.. I didn't expect it to be like that. Congratulations to the Seattle Seahawks!

Have a wonderful day!

Re: February Exercise Thread

Took Lucy out and paid the rent in the rain, came inside and cleaned a bathroom, onto my kitchen and look outside to see big whit fluffy flakes falling down! That was fast! Much better than the rain!

Oddly enough(time of month and not much sleep)f, I was on fire today...ran fast and strong, moved through my circuits quickly and efficiently, using 20lb dumb-bells for my exercises. Even the PT said I was "busting it big time"...I think I'm coming back. {#emotions_dlg.thumbup1} Hate to speak too soon...lol.

Now if I can keep this up through a major move and being transient without having a house and traveling for a few months, and if my son stays healthy...I might be onto something...lol!Wink

Oh, have to share...we did some moves today with the straps that I loved...one-handed squats where you turn and touch the floor behind you when you squat down, then you reach and touch the top of the strap on the way up. Squats where you keep your arms outstretched above you in the air while keeping tension in the straps the entire evolution...you don't expect it to be so hard on your arms but that constant tension really catches up with you.

We did back and forth .20 on the treadmill, hop off and do 200 meter row, back on treadmill for another .20, back to rower for 200 meters...back and forth as fast as you can. That was my favorite. I kept my speed up on treadmill for every set.

Anyway, we really enjoyed class today, went by quickly. I love him, wish I could go to all of his classes!

Re: February Exercise Thread

Bopper, enjoy your day of sunshine! The lopsided score surprised me, too. What a disappointment for Denver and viewers alike.

Patty, as always, I enjoy reading about your w/o's. Lucy doesn't mind the rain? Congratulations for being "on fire" today...it's a great feeling.

My legs are sore from the Katami vid I did yesterday. I'll probably stick to DVDs all week, as the weather will be lousy. Snow tomorrow, then frigid cold again the rest of the week.

Re: February Exercise Thread

Well, I'm the opposite of Patty today! Lol!! This weather, etc is just wearing on me. I'm sooooooooo tired today! Supposed to get another round of snow two more times this week, too. Humph. I think I'll hope the bike in a little bit. I'd driven in this stuff enough today to not want to get back out in it for the gym, so I'm home for the night!! Hope you all have a good night!!

Re: February Exercise Thread

Good morning everyone!!!

Keep hoping Tony, bagsers, Judy, cosmetics, et al, will pop up here...miss you guys!

Lucy and I hit the trails this morning, not sure how many miles we did but it was a good jaunt. I wanted to wait until we were out of the 20's but Lucy didn't...lol. We hiked and ran, had a great time...saw a ton of bright red Cardinals and we saw two large Doe with the biggest, whitest, fluffiest tails I've ever seen.

I think I could really get into trail running, it's a lot of fun and the time goes by quickly because you have to concentrate on the terrain so you don't fall.

Sun is out and an ice storm is coming tonight so I'm sure we'll go out again later today. nomless, Lucy doesn't really mind the rain...just doesn't like to be wet AND cold.

I'm sore this morning...biceps, front delts and chest. I thought my legs would be but they're not...just fatigued.

Hope everyone has a great day!!

Re: February Exercise Thread

Here I am! MIA again! I have been busy, not on computer much. I do get out of the habit and then rediscover it. I am not a computer person at all and I hate how much we are now doing at work. I have been working out. I have been doing a variety of DVDs. Jillian, Chalene, ShaunT, Firm and LS. Sounds like everyone is doing well. If it weren't for the weather, I think we'd be smiling even more. Big storm coming tonight so it means I will be leaving really early tomorrow. the last few hit the coast but it is gonna get me this time! Oh well! Stay warm and safe!

Re: February Exercise Thread

It's snowing here. I went to work this morning, came home at noon and finished the day from here. So gtateful we can do that. Streets are getting snow-packed and slick. I'll do a Katami in a little later.
