Just reading about your weights wears me out. Respect!
15 minutes aerobics & a 25 minute run outside after school & I could see where I was going!! Hurrah for lighter nights. Bring on Spring!

I love to excercise! I really do. I started about 6 months ago, lost 25lbs so far but am not loosing much anymore. Actually, my weight is staying the same, not really moving too much. But I am getting stronger.

I am training for a half-marathon, so I do a lot of running, mostly on the tread mill. I also lift weights, I have a bunch of dumbells and a barbell with some weights for it downstairs in my basement. I do a 2 hour work out 4 days a week. The other 3 days are recovery (rest). I run 5 - 6 miles on the treadmill (watching TV helps a LOT). Then I spend an hour lifting weights. I run about 10min/mil, so it takes about an hour to run 6 miles. Weight lifting is stuff like: shoulder presses, bench presses, back squats, weighted lunges, lateral raises, hammer curls, DB curls, incline bench presses, Dumbbell flyes, crunches.....etc. I do 3 sets of 15 reps each excercise, and try to increase the weight about once per month or so.

And who said that we couldn't get big on a vegan diet? I keep getting compliments on the way I look. Makes me feel good. Yeah!!

2500 swim! i am so sore from yesterday....

60 minute Moksha class + walk

30 minute easy spin on the trainer, also supposed to do a short jog/walk later

Thanks! I've been weight training consistently for around a year. It's taken me a while to get the technique down (I'm still learning) but the weights are increasing slightly all the time now.

Today's routine was the following:
- Three one minute glute bridges.
- Six minutes shoulder exercises with a 2kg clubbell.
- Six sets of a 14kg kettlebell routine. Ten two handed swings, ten hand-to-hand swings, five single handed swings, five snatches and five push presses on both sides.
- Four sets of one minute on the 'deadmill' and one minute hitting a punchbag.

Cumulatively I lifted 4.2 tonnes today. I'm going to feel it in two days time.

Half an hour run before school.

12 km easy run, 30 min power yoga.

A really terrible 5km run. I just was NOT feeling it today.

I am not a big exerciser but I actually had a workout today, so I am going to post.

1 beginner yoga class! Yay!

And the usual short dog walk. The walk is short. Not the dogs. Well, they are pretty short...

Indoor Walking class at the gym. I tried it for the first time. It's like spinning but on some kind of cross trainer. At first I didn't feel like it was that hard, but in the end I was really dripping and exhausted in all my limbs. Will do it again for sure!

45 minute spin class this morning, then I'll do a 75 minute power yoga class this afternoon!

Friday: Body Balance class.
Saturday: An hour run, an hour ride, 30 minute swim, 30 minute walk.

Ran 3.2 K according to my the new running plan I signed up to yesterday. Easy and slow, I ran in the oh so bright sunshine. It's just above freezing but the sun warms up really much. Love it!

Yesterday: 30 minute walk/jog
Today: 60 minute spin on the trainer

80 minutes cardio/weights with frequent kitten interruptions.

4 mile run. We're supposed to get 8 inches of snow tonight so I hope my running path is ok by Wednesday.

40 minute walk and gentle yoga.

Sunday: An hour long ride, 25 minute run.
Monday 10 minutes aerobics, 25 minute run.

A short session at the gym.

20 minute easy swim

3 miles in 30 minutes on the treadmill- best time I've had in about two years.
15 minutes of cross country on the elliptical.... What What!?

5 K running.

10,3 km run. New PR!

Will also do a short power yoga session this afternoon.

3-mile run, 15 minute abs

Felt good outside today!
