[withdisneyspirit]

65 minutes today:thumbsup: 30 mins xertube workout on thighs mostly and then 35 minutes intervals on treadmill, not more than a fast walk though.

Yesterday was a rest day; I had an early morning closing - no time...

Happy weekend, everyone:goodvibes

[AmyBeth68]

Ran a 5K race today. Had a BLAST!!!:woohoodan

[Disneymooners93]

I missed posting, but did a run last Thursday (4 days in last week).

Friday 30 minutes at Curves

Saturday - 30 minutes at Curves and 30 minutes walking at mall

Sunday(today) - 30 minutes walking at the mall.

[nono]

40 min bikeride this afternoon. Thank goodness the :sunny: broke through!!! Soaking wet weekend here!

[withdisneyspirit]

Did do 30 minutes on my recumbent bike today :jumpingbe

[pouncingpluto]

Ok, so I only did two normal workouts last week. However, I know I did enough walking and horseback riding this weekend while I was out of town to count for at least another workout!

[withdisneyspirit]

Got 50 minutes in this morning :jumpingbe 5 minute warmup and 45 minutes resistance training, mostly legs and abs.

[schatz5k]

Hi All,

I got in two workout this weekend, the weather was absoluty great and I took advantage of our trampoline. Boy were my legs hurting after about 10 minutes on the thing. The kids (6 of them) think it funny to see me jumping around on it. So naturally I had to follow up with bouncing them around. I also got in 3.5 miles each day.

Today, nothing so far, as we are having storms here. But tomorrow, I'll be working at the gym so I'll get in some exercise time in there while listening to my pod cast of Lou Mongello...

I hope everyone had a great weekend

[PoohsPal]

Hi all! Can you believe we're already on the last week? I can't. SOrry I'm behind again. Was gone on Saturday and SUnday, I had a cold kick my behind.

I'll update later,m but wanted to get the challenge out there.

It breaks my rule a bit, but it's the last week, so what the heck. ;)

Week 4 Challenge
Challenge of the week is to get in an extra work out. This is what would eb needed to get us CMs back on the island. Tought it'd be nice to get there in theory, even though we'll start over next week.

Have a great week everyone!

[Disneymooners93]

45 minutes of weights, stretching.

[AmyBeth68]

Did an hour of KBX today!

[mickeyndvcfan]

Monday....an hour at Curves

[nono]

30 minutes of chopping down a bush followed by 30 min of yoga.

aggression and then serenity....:tilt:

[Dennyha]

3 miles in 27.5 minutes, followed by 10min on the elliptical.

[RweTHEREyet]

30 minutes at Curves tonight.

[pouncingpluto]

Light workout last night, but it still counts! 20 min elliptical and about 15 of stretching and conditioning.

[withdisneyspirit]

45 minute workout this morning - 15 min ab workout and 30 min intervals on the tread :highfive: Off to the shower...

[Ginger]

Does painting count as a workout? If so painted primer all weekend. Monday painted 1st coat on bathroom, took about 2 hours.

Monday- 30 min yoga

[nono]

Ginger,

How sore are ya? :blech: I'm not a judge, but it my book it counts!

50 minutes running this morning.

[PoohsPal]

Ginger - I was wondering about my 45 minutes of power Garden Weaseling on Friday too.

I'm thinking that kind of thing really is a work out. Anyone have any thoughts on this?

Yikes! Never made it back for summaries an diddn't get around to my first post unti after 11:30 today. Promise I'll get back for updates during lunch!

[pouncingpluto]

I say manual labor counts. Just because it's productive doesn't mean it's not exercise!

FYI - My life has been nnuts lastely and I have not exactly been a great leader. You have all helped keep me motivated, though. I was supposed to do 6 miles this wekend, but dh nixed it. (really) Our initial plan was to do our Saturday runs on Monday if we missed tehm. Going more than 50 minutes during the week does not usually happen. A big part of my gettin git doen yesterday, even without dh, its that I wanted to come back here and show that I did it. Thansk everyone! Let's kick some tail this last week!

[AmyBeth68]

:flowerfor Thanks again Carrie for coordinating this....I know your life has been so hectic lately. It's GREATLY appreciated, as everyone really has been motivated this month!!!

I did 45 minutes running/walking so far today...heading down for some yoga and abs! Should hit 90 minutes total exercise today. :cheerlead

[Dennyha]

Yes Carrie, thanks for coordinating all of this. It really is motivational, and fun. We all know it is a lot of trouble, and we appreciate it:cheerlead .

My wife laughs at me when we get home from the Y, walk in the the house, and the first thing I have to do is report in my workout. :computerg

Tonight, I'm stuck in Ashland, Kentucky for work. I wanted to do a 4 mile outdoor run, not realizing that the hotel was in the middle of a downtown area. The hotel has a nice workout room, but it's not the same. Hopefully, I 'll put in a short TM run tonight.

Keep up the good work everyone.
Denny

[PoohsPal]

:flowerfor You guys are great! Not that big of a deal, just wanted everyone to know that it really does help me, even when it may not show.

I did 40 minutes of runnign tonight. Planning on Curves tomorrow and another run Thursday, as we're gone all day saturday again. :( That would still put me back on the island, though! :cheerlead Yay!

Keep up the great work everyone!

[withdisneyspirit]

Does painting count as a workout? If so painted primer all weekend. Monday painted 1st coat on bathroom, took about 2 hours.

Monday- 30 min yoga

I agree that this kind of activity can count as a workout! Nono's bush chopping and Carrie's garden weasling (?) both sound like they count too!!!

[withdisneyspirit]

You are the woman, Carrie!! You do great at motivating all of us and you ran that 6 miler all by yourself, WOW!!! :cheerlead :birhdaypa I am impressed!

I am excited that I have worked out this much too! I go to the ortho surgeon on Thursday to see about my knee repair. Next month, I may not get in as much workout time. We will see what I can still do?!

[Dennyha]

3 miles plus cool down ...30+ minutes.

[nono]

I say manual labor counts. Just because it's productive doesn't mean it's not exercise!

This should be our quote of the month for next month. It's a fantastic :cheerlead while everyone stares down spring cleaning.

Seriously... a week or so ago, I thought about claiming my thorough vaccuuming of the townhouse as a workout... it took *forever*, and I was so tired! Did both sets of stairs, moved furniture, and everything. But I didn't because I didn't need it for my three.

Anyway... worked out yesterday. All I could fit in was a half hour, since it was my BIRTHDAY! :) 23 min elliptical and 7 min of stretching and abs.

[withdisneyspirit]

I got another 45 minutes in. Would have been more but work calls interrupted me :tongue: Did my xertube workout for arms along with squats.

[PoohsPal]

Kerry - Getting in the work out on your b-day gets you a gold star for sure!!!

Lisa - Hope your appt goes well! I know you'll get doen what you can. Just hope you don't overdo! I'll tell your mommy if I think you are doing too much! ;)

I second nono on the quote of the month. By teh way, the garden waeasel is like a rolling rake. Used muscles I had not in a long time and was puffing pretty good when done.

[Disneymooners93]

Did my short run yesterday. Not sure what to do for cross training today. The tike will have to go down for a nap. That's looking like it will be a challenge today.

[AmyBeth68]

Did my 60 min of KBX today. :kickingco

[Ginger]

If painting counts as a workout coat 2 and 3 were applied last night. It looked good when we went to bed at midnight! It's a dark red, that's why it took so many coats, even with a primer. Also put a coat of primer on the bathroom floor.

[mickeyndvcfan]

Wed.......an hour at Curves

[Disneymooners93]

The little guy went down. Just did my standard weights today.

[Dennyha]

I just ran for 40 minutes outside. Don't know how far. Felt like about 20 miles, when actually it was probably about a block.:hammer:
Denny

[RweTHEREyet]

30 minutes at Curves tonight. Not walking this week. Hubby pulled a muscle in his back and is barely able to walk. So, I have a bit of a reprieve, and I have to say I am enjoying it.

[withdisneyspirit]

I knew something called a garden weasel just had to cause soreness :blech:

[pouncingpluto]

Ginger... I *so* feel your pain. We painted our dining room a dark red. Not only did it take a million coats, but we also kept getting spots on the off white trim. Then we would touch up the trim and get off white on the red. Then we would touch up the red and get some more on the trim. :/

[withdisneyspirit]

A quick workout today - 35 minutes on the recumbent, then off to the doctor! I hope he got my MRI report :fingerscr

[Disneymooners93]

Up early before the kids woke up and did my 60 minutes this morning.

[PoohsPal]

rwe - :ROTFL: That sounds so much like me!

I did my 30 min at Curves last night and am on schedule for another run tonight. That will be my 4. Woo hoo!

Next time I'll try not to have 4 dasy straight and 3 off, but that may not happen for a while.

[AmyBeth68]

40 minutes yoga, 10 minutes walking, 35 minute run. Phew!

[Ginger]

We've done the same thing! There are few places on the ceiling that need to be painted. The bottom molding isn't in yet, but I'm sure we will get white on the red, etc. Saturday we paint green in another room. Wish us luck.

Reminder: :mickeybar counts for 4 work outs this week.

Question: Setting up the new month soon. Do we want our immunity work outs to carry over?

My vote is yes, because you can only earn 4 a month. Would like other opinions, though. WIll this discourage new people?

[PoohsPal]

Got my 40 minutes in tonight. Best pace of the week. Funny, because neither one of us felt good. We'll call that one of those rare gifts. ;)

[nono]

Yesterday, two walks -- about 1.5 hours total. Got some Vitamin D. :sunny:

[schatz5k]

Ok, I haven't had the time to sit down and post, so here is the workouts for the week. Tuesday, jumped on trampoline and than went to gym, did time on the tm.

Wednesday, walked for 3 miles,

Thursday, walked for 3 miles

Challange On Thursday, did another workout at the gym.

Friday- Walked for 3 miles.


Oh Does pushing the lawn mower count for anything...other than me feeling sorry for DH that we don't have a ride on lawnmower, and he works all day, and the lawn needs to be mowed, so the Catholic quilt kicks in and I walked behind the push mower for 30 minute segments.... Ok well even if it doesn't the lawn is getting mowed slowly but surely.

Just got back from a 4 mi, 48 min run...

(puff, puff, puff)

[pouncingpluto]

I got my third workout in last night. 45 minutes of conditioning. And that's it for the week... it's a busy one.

This weekend is my last gymnastics judging until the fall! So I will be less tired, have more time, and can hopefully really start training for the 5K.

[AFMom]

So busy - I've been forgetting to post!
Tuesday - 35 minutes at the gym
Wednesday - 30 minutes
Thursday - 33 minutes

[withdisneyspirit]

Good for you, nono:jumpingbe

Yes, I believe mowing the lawn counts, because you are using a push mower:cool:

I put in 55 minutes - walking on the tread and stretching. I did something super effective on Wed, I guess the squats with the xertube set; my inner and back thighs are screaming sore:faint: Think I'll do them again Saturday or Monday :slyasafox

[mickeyndvcfan]

Friday....an hour at Curves

[PoohsPal]

Yes, push mowing counts!

I powere weeded, raked and yes, weaseles again tonight for an hour in a half. never had my flower beds ready so early. Have a bonus day home tomorrow, so going to try to run. 7 miles is on teh schedule, but it'll be solo, so we'll see.

[AmyBeth68]

Last night I did 60 minute KBX class. I've never done a night class so I thought I'd have low energy. Actually....I had TONS of energy and wasn't nearly as tired as I get in the morning class. :huh: Weird? Anyway...it was a great class and today is my rest day :bluebloun . Wooo----Hoooo.

[Dennyha]

7 miles in 1:11. That's a new world record distance (for me!:woohoo: )

Denny

[nono]

Congrats Dennyha!

Today, 2.78 mi running and finished up walking for a total of 40 min. Tough morning run as I pulled a hamstring last night. I had to chase down a guy who hit our car in a restaurant parking lot...had to chase him on foot (sandals!) on a shell driveway almost 1/4 mi to get the license number, 'cause he wouldn't stop. :tsktsk:

I did get it, and the cops nabbed him. Then, we finally got to go in and eat. Sitting in one position after that kind of sprint/pull wasn't the greatest idea ever, but I was hungry!

[RweTHEREyet]

Nono, way to go Magnum, PI. Congrats on not letting the rat get by with hitting your car.

Friday, I did 30 minutes at Curves
Saturday, 30 minutes at Curves, then came home and did 2 hours of cutting the grass and yard work.

[withdisneyspirit]

Oh my, nono! You should be proud of yourself. I love hearing that he did not get away with that hit and run!!! Hope your muscle pull heals rapidly :sunny:

[Disneymooners93]

On Friday I did my physical fitness standards testing for work. Ran 1.5 miles in 9:22 and benched 200 lbs, among other things. Trying to show up the young pups.

[AmyBeth68]

:thumbsway To the jerk who hit Nono's car!!! I love it...gonna' call you Magnum from now on. Good for you....not giving up on the chase injured and all. You rock Nono!!! I've got that darn magnum music stuck in my head now! I'm so glad they caught the guy though!!! Sure hope your hamstring heals quicly!!! You've had a tough month girl!

:cheerlead DM93....Wow....way to show up the youngens' . Score one for us old folks! Woo-Hoo!!!:cheerlead

RweThereyet... Great workouts! Phew...I'm tired just reading it lol! Especially the grass cutting!

[PoohsPal]

nono - Perhaps you shoud have dm93 beat up the jerk who tried the hit & run? ;) Hope they give him extra for that! That stinks! Bummer about your hammy too (to use the term from teh AOL commercial.)

DM93 - HOly cow! Guess there's a reason I don't work in your wolrd! Want to share what world you work in?

Are you all sitting down? I did my seven-miler all by my lonesome today!!! Decent pace too. (Denny still beat me, but I was happy.) DH could not believe I did it on my own. Neither oculd I but it was fun. I uploaded some more music to my mp3 that worked very well!

Too tired to update, but I'll try really hard for tommorrow!

Trying to??? Surely you did show them up, right? Are you a fireman or policeman? Just my nosy girl coming out again :rolleyes: You did great, DM:clappingh

Well, I am now certain that I am in a flare of my lupus:sosad: Been running low grade fever for two weeks and a host of other symptoms. My energy levels are going down. DH got me out for a walk yesterday, about 35 minutes. That is all I did. Hoping to do better this coming week.

[RweTHEREyet]

Amy, I don't normally do the yardwork, but hubby hurt his back and I was worried that the neighbors would start sending us nasty letters or someting worse if the grass didin't get cut.

Way to go PoohsPal. No way I could do what you are doing. I am happy and proud to be making it several times around the mall.

By the way, what do you listen to on your mp3 player. I use mine when I walk and listen to music that keeps up a fast beat. I do truly find that my pace changes with the music. I have about 30 songs on my walking Playlist, but I am certainly in the market for more.

[withdisneyspirit]

My last workout for the month :goodvibes 35 minutes leg and ab workout - emphasis on abs :beaniepro

I am also excited about surpassing my minutes goal for the month so decisively!! Yay Mouseowners Mickboxing forum and all of you motivators out there :)

[AmyBeth68]

:worship: Lisa....wow, I'm so impressed that you get out there and workout even with your flare up. I sure hope you are feeling better today. Take care of yourself....I'm so proud of you!!!!!

[AmyBeth68]

:clappingh Carrie....GREAT job on your 7 miler. I still feel like that is soooooo long. Great job!!!

[AmyBeth68]

Ran 5 miles plus some extra walking: 60 minutes

Yoga: 30 minutes

Productive day :).

[withdisneyspirit]

Wow, Amy, same back to you!!:woohoo: I have never run 5 miles in my life! The most I have ever jogged was four miles straight. That was years ago when I was 30 years old. You are doing great in your training!

WTG to you too, Carrie. That seven miles had to be some self-motivation for sure. Isn't it nice to surprise DH? :jumpingbe

My lupus flare is likely to hang on for awhile. I just hope I don't have to take steroids to shake it. My symptoms are kicking into higher gear now. I won't discuss it a whole lot though; I don't like to give it negative power over me. I will also work out as often as I can anyway. I choose to believe it helps :)

[Disneymooners93]

Finished the month with a long run. 1100 minutes put in this month. :bouncingg Thanks again to all to keeping the motivation up. :highfive:

[PoohsPal]

OK, here's the final for April, sorry about the delay.
