June Survivor - Tom Sawyer Island :p

[PoohsPal]

Objective:

Work out 3 times per week for at least 30 minutes each time. Do this each week and stay on the island. If not, you become an island cm. The main point of this is to get you in the habit of working out. Feeling accountable to the rest of the group is a great motivation.

Weeks:

Weeks start on Sunday and run through Saturday. This challenge starts on Sunday Nube 4.

Challenge:

Each week will will have a different challenge. If you incorporate this challenge and 3 work outs into your week, you will receive one immunity work out. This can be added to a bad week to help you meet your total of 3. (i.e., 1 3-work out week and challenge = 1 work out) Challenges will typically take less than 10 minutes to complete.

What Counts as Exercise?

Walking, running, jogging, wogging, dancing, moving, painting, cleaning, intense gardening... Anything that works your body!

Just because it's productive doesn't mean it's not exercise!

Immunity
Injuries and illness are automatically immunity for the week. I do not want to encourage working out on a part that's already injured or wearing yourself down additionally when you are sick.

Getting Back on the Island:
If you are a cm and want to get back on the island, you must do 4 workouts in one week, plus the challenge. This will reinstate you the following week.

Weekly Tracking:

:donald: = 1 work out
:bouncingm = 2 work outs
:bouncegoo = 3 work outs
:mickeybar = 3 work outs plus challenge
:wizard: = Island Reinstatement (4 workouts plus challenge)

Due to my tardiness, I'm just copying May's challenger list. If there's a new challenger, just let me know!

I love a new month when we’re all on the island!

Kerry – Your skating talk is really making me jealous!!!

Lisa – Hope that knee is better again. Pain and selling do not sound good!

Amy – Congrats on that 5k!!! I have a magic pace of 11:11 like your magic time.

Nono – You and your 6-milers are way impressive!

DM93 – Holy cow! Liking speed work? You are ill!

[withdisneyspirit]

Overall, my physical therapist was impressed with my progress :clappingh

I went there today and he worked me and my knee pretty hard for about 75 minutes!! They are going to do a one month evaluation Friday :fingerscr

[AmyBeth68]

Carrie: THANKS for organizing another month. I know how busy you are....but this challenge continues to motivate me month after month! :)

Lisa: Wow...great news on your knee :grouphug: . I'm so happy to hear about your progress! Keep up the GREAT work!!!!!!

No workouts for me today....resting the legs for my run tomorrow :D

[athenna]

I did my 30 min of abs program yesterday!
I hope you get some more in today. Busy couple of days coming up, the baby in the family is getting married tomorrow!:woohoo:

[withdisneyspirit]

I barely managed 30 minutes this morning what with taking time at Mouseowners!

[pouncingpluto]

I'm in for this month! Let's see...

This week:
Monday- that long skate I already reported
Wednesday- about 40 minutes of abs and other conditioning... it felt like a lazy workout, but at least I got off the couch.

[PoohsPal]

Hi guys! I've been a slug this week. I've had ear issues all week. I fianlly decided if it's not better today, I'd see the doc. Now, I think it may be better. :fingerscr

[athenna]

I did my 30 min abs!
Now I gotta go get ready for a wedding rehearsal dinner (no, not mine, drats..lol).

[AmyBeth68]

ran 32 minutes today. :)

Lisa,
It's a tough job, but someone HAS to do it.:innocent:

[Disneymooners93]

Hey I guess it is June now.

Bunches and bunches of running today. Last run before the big vacation, we'll see how I do.

I'm not sure how much time I will be checking in next week, but you can count on at least Sunday walking DTD, Mon-Fri walking DL, DCA, and DTD from morning to night.

[Dennyha]

4 mile run on TM in 36 min.

[pouncingpluto]

Thursday night- 45 minutes of ice skating

[withdisneyspirit]

Just back from my 70 minutes of PT! Only guy therapists there today. They had fun putting me on this square of gushy padding, telling me to balance on the knee that had surgery and throw a 2 lb medicine ball at a mini trampoline and catch it and throw it repeatedly. Boy, I found out that I have fairly poor coordination :scary: :faint:

[PoohsPal]

WOw Lisa! I don't think I would have survived that one. Been a long week and I've been a slacker, but I'll try reall hard to updat eover the weekend (and have a work out to report).

Have a great weekend everyone!!!

[RweTHEREyet]

Yesterday, Friday, I had an hour walk on the beach and then another hour in the afternoon. I decided to skip the workout room as I can do that at home, but I can't walk on the beach at home.

Getting ready to head out the door again this morning for another walk before wepack up and head for home. :(

[AmyBeth68]

60 minutes of KBX last night :).

Today is rest day! Woo Hoooooo

[pouncingpluto]

I had skating class this morning! We'll see if I do anything else later. :)

[RweTHEREyet]

Hubby and I did do an hour up and down the beach yesterday (Saturday) before heading for home. Sure wish I was doing that again today, but back home we are.

[withdisneyspirit]

Rest day yesterday - didn't feel like it because I shopped for my boy's Birthdays in July. Boy, those clothes are heavy!!!!

50 min. workout today - did a 15 min mile on the treadmill - woohoo!! Did my PT with 2 1/2 lb ankle weights!

[Dennyha]

Did 30 minutes of weights yesterday.

Today, ran 8 miles in 79 minutes.

[AmyBeth68]

Wow Denny...great 8 miler!!!!

Today I ran 6 miles in 64 minutes :).

Have a great day everyone!!! Keep up the good work.

[withdisneyspirit]

Woohoo, Amy and Denny! Y'all are doing so great; I wish I was there with you...

I got my hour in this morning; I'll have to be satisfied with that:jumpingbe

[PoohsPal]

Sorry guys. My weekend was a whirlwind and when I was actually home, I was afraid if I came here, I'd get sucked in and forget about my other chores. It's still on my list, though, and I'll get to it ASAP.

[RweTHEREyet]

Sunday, 1.5 hours of pulling weeds in the blistering sun.

[pouncingpluto]

Sunday night... 20 minutes elliptical and 15 minutes of abs, back, and stretching.

[mickeyndvcfan]

OK....back from vacation and have to get back on track.

[pouncingpluto]

Monday night- an hour and a half of ice skating

Oops...have been slacking on my posts. Let's see (we start on monday right?)

Tues: 3 mile run
Wed: 60 min KBX

Nope, Amy, we actually start on Sunday! I wondered what happened to you:listen:

[Dennyha]

I should have a Donald. My 8 mile run was on Sunday.

(Hopefully I'll get something in tonight, but these summer days are busy.)

[PoohsPal]

Sorry Denny! I thought something was wrong. Fixed now!

[pouncingpluto]

Wednesday night- 40 minutes of strength

[withdisneyspirit]

Only 30 minutes today but it was an intense uphill walk on my treadmill - I need a shower :D

[AmyBeth68]

Thanks Lisa :ROTFL: THought we started on monday lol.

Well, if we start on sunday better post that workout!!! :)

Sunday: 6 mile run!

[RweTHEREyet]

Monday and Wednesday -- 30 minutes at Curves each night.

[nono]

1:03:30 running (6 mi) :dazzled:

[Dennyha]

Carrie,
No problem at all. I'm just thankful that you take the time and trouble to keep this up. :worship: Nobody is going to throw stones if a couple of wires get crossed here or there.
(On the other hand, I've been so busy that I'll have enough trouble hitting 3 for the week, so I can't afford to lose a workout.:Pokepoke:
Thanks again
Denny

[PoohsPal]

No problem Denny! Everyone here is great and I'm glad it helps! ALthough, it's much easier to keep it up when I'm keeping up with my workouts! ;)

Did 30 minutes tonight. It's hot out there!!!!!! Yikes. Not a great run, but it'll come back. I've never been happy with weekday rus anyway.

Well, tomorrow's a day at HQ and gone for ther weekend. Have a great weekend everyone!

Happy Fathers Day Denny!

[Dennyha]

30 minute outdoor run

[Dennyha]

Oh, and...thanks for the Father's Day Wishes. That was nice.:tunes:

[AmyBeth68]

Ran 4 miles in 41:19 today. Woo Hooo!

[withdisneyspirit]

That is a great time, Amy :highfive: Oh, and you too, nono - WOW!

WTG, Carrie, on getting your workout time back again :cheerlead

I got 55 minutes in today!

[mickeyndvcfan]

Friday...an hour at Curves

[nono]

Walked for 70 min tonight pulling the 28 lb.er in her wagon.

[pouncingpluto]

Friday- walked 2.2 mi
Saturday- ice skating class

[Dennyha]

Ran 8 miles this AM in 80 minutes. The heat started to hit me the last 2 miles or so, raising a question for the marathon veterans. What are the temps like at WDW in January between 6 and 8 am?:help:

[withdisneyspirit]

I did an hour today, which included three miles on the treadmill, yeah!:highfive: I feel good about that five weeks from my knee surgery :sunny:

[nono]

31:30 of running for 3 miles. Gosh, I'm glad THAT'S over with!!! :coffee2: :coffee2: :coffee2:

[athenna]

I did my 30 min abs program yesterday afternoon. Then last night we went to a night club, i danced for hours! Wow, what a work out! :yes:

[AmyBeth68]

Wow Lisa! 3 Miles on the treadmill!!! :cheerlead That's amazing..sounds like your coming along great. Hope the knee is feeling good! :)

Saturday: Ran 5 miles in 53:37!!! :)

[PoohsPal]

Wow! SOunds like everyone is doing great!!

Denny - Typical tems in Janat WDW range from 20 to 80. Last year, it was unseasonably cold. Started at 34 at 6 am, ended at 67 aruond 11 am. By mile 9, I was doen to shorts and sleeveless shirt. Traingn in MI, high 40s was enough for that, though. Yes, it did feel hot to me at the end. Should not be 80 degrees by then tough!

[athenna]

I did my 30 min abs program last night!:cheerlead

Week 3 Challenge

Spend 5 minutes 3 x’s this week working on the area you’re least happy with.

**If you have any challenge ideas, please let me know**

I think Lisa has one for next week, but I could use help with next month!

I’m going to Curves tonight. Fitting it in a very busy schedule, but I need to keep going. Hoping to get 3 runs in this week too!

[withdisneyspirit]

I forgot to post my workout today; I did one hour this morning on the recumbent and doing PT!

I actually had a good bit of soreness the rest of the day on Saturday in both knees:confused: :( I was proud of the three miles and it did not hurt at all when I was walking them but I might keep my next longer walk in the two mile range for a few more weeks and build up even slower. Thanks for the encouragement, Amy :highfive:

[AmyBeth68]

60 minute KBX today (Monday) :)

[athenna]

Did my usual 30 min abs last night.
It is still a good workout, but getting a little bored with it. I don't see a major difference since my abs since doing this program. Maybe I need to wire my jaw shut instead:ROTFL:
Think I need to try something different for a couple of weeks and then go back to the abs. Hmmmm, I 'll have to think about this.

[pouncingpluto]

Monday night- 40 minutes of ice skating. Shorter than usual because of breaking in new skates. No more rentals for me!

[withdisneyspirit]

Really tighten your tummy, Athenna and then poke around and see if your muscles haven't improved a lot over the past few weeks. I do abs 1-3 times a week and I am happy with the strength it has given my core.

I did two miles on the tread today and over 300 ab type exercises:sunny: It took an hour!

[nono]

Lisa,

You are doing great! What an inspiration as I sit here and :coffee2: .

Well, I did get out there this morning and run 6 mi in 1:04. First day in awhile that I really didn't aggravate my right hamstring. So....I'm relieved!
;)

[PoohsPal]

WTG nono and Lisa!!

Lisa - I'm proud of you for scaling down so you don't overdo it!!! I know that's hard for you.

I did 30 minutes at Curves. The a/c broke, so it was a good workout to up my tolerence to heat. ;)

Kerry - You were renting skates??? No wonder you had problems!! SO glad you got your own!

Athenna - I second Lisa. Even at Curves, I notice a huge diffrence when I concentrate on having tight abs the whole time.

Way to go everyone!!!!!

[RweTHEREyet]

I did 30 minutes at Curves yesterday. Really didn't want to go, had to force myself. It is so easy to get out of the habit and so easy to get lazy.

[athenna]

I am trying really hard, but it is taking a long time to show results and I'm getting discouraged. But I won't give up:thumbsup:

[pouncingpluto]

Yeah, well, you know... we didn't want to buy skates until we were sure this was something we wanted to stick with. But we're addicted!

In my new skates, I'm having to learn to stop all over again, due to having sharper blades. But I'll tell you what... crossovers are WAY easier!

[AmyBeth68]

Ran 4 miles (41:46)

Nono...Great run!!! Wow...you're really fast girl!

Kerry...the skating sounds like so much fun! What a great way to get exercise :)

Athenna....i'm sure all your ab work is paying off. Way to stick with it!!!

Carrie....ouch...no a/c...that is quite the workout

Lisa....300 ab exercises!!! :cheerlead

[Dennyha]

30 minute run this morning through the streets ( and trails ) of Pittsburgh. (They weren't kidding when they said that Pittsburgh is hilly.)

[PoohsPal]

Great run AMy!

No, they were serious Dennny!!! Those are some monster hills! WTG!

[withdisneyspirit]

WTG nono and Lisa!!

Lisa - I'm proud of you for scaling down so you don't overdo it!!! I know that's hard for you.

I sure second that, way to go everyone listed and Amy and Denny too :highfive:

You do know me pretty well now dontcha, Carrie?!! It was very hard for me to scale back:crazy: :D

[withdisneyspirit]

Checkin' in this morning with another one hour workout. I did a ten minute warmup on the bike and then concentrated on arms, back, PT on the knee and tush toning ( the last one in honor of the challenge :laughing: )

[mickeyndvcfan]

Wed.....70 mins. at Curves....did extra time working on abs for challange

[Dennyha]

Friday morning we leave for our big family vacation. We'll be gone 11 days, including 4 days on a cruise, 2 days at Cocoa Beach, and the rest at The World. So... I'm pretty sure I won't get in my 3 workouts per week, BUT...that means I'll be a cast member

....SO, does that mean I can get a cast member discount?:bluebloun

Keep up the great work everyone.

[nono]

30 min. yoga today. Ahhhhh!

[PoohsPal]

lol Denny! Way to make lemonade out o f those lemons! Yeah, sounds rough. ;)

Actually, though, it's a given that people at the WOrld will walk at least 30 minutes a day, so you wil not be on the island.

I did 3 miles last night. I cannot take the heat. However, even with my head pounding last night from the heat/run combo, I did 5 minutes on my abs. Guest spot on the island, here I come!!!

[pouncingpluto]

An hour of skating last night until a quarter-sized blister ripped open! I don't really want to develop callouses in the arches of my feet, so I hope the skates soften as the break in or something.

At least the rest of my feet... toes, heels, everything, seem completely unbothered by the skates. It's just my arches!

Anyway, still having mucho fun and improving rapidly! I actually managed to skate backwards for a short ways yesterdays. Doing backwards swizzles, anyway, which is sort of a precursor to really skating backwards.

[athenna]

I did my 30 min of abs last night.

[withdisneyspirit]

Very cool, Kerry about the backward swizzles (not the blister - ouch!)

You can come sit by me, Carrie after your workouts...I'm saving you a spot:highfive:

I did 50 minutes today. I did my challenge on the tread as I walked a mile straight uphill:bugeyed: Then I did PT and abs to round it out:sunny:

Since there are a lot of you working abs, does anyone do them by curling your butt off the floor instead of your back and shoulders? That is a great way to work the lower abdomen.

[PoohsPal]

Thanks for the tip Lisa! Coing cruches with a pounding head is no fun. I switched with Supermen to try to give my head a break.

[Disneymooners93]

Back from Disneyland. Very nice trip but very tiring, we're still not caught up on the rest. I only got one run in last week - the first morning at Disneyland. After that I was too tired to get up early and decided play instead of run the rest of the time.

Ran on Monday and Wednesday so far this week.

[PoohsPal]

Welcome Back DM93!!!!

[nono]

1:02 running (6 mi)

Having my :coffee2: now!

[PoohsPal]

OK, I did a 3 miles walk last night in a decent pace. I had a total brain failure and must have reverted back to my dumb teen days. Got this new pair of sandals that are super comfy. So, I decided to walk in those. (My feet just love every second they have in sandals in teh summer) Well, note to everyone. AN hour in the house is not enough to break in sandals for a 3 mile walk. I detroyed my feet and coudl just kick myself!!! :rant: Hoping that a rest day today will help them recover for my Saturday run, but I did a pretty good job on them. WIll someody please come knock some sense into me?

[pouncingpluto]

Thursday night- about an hour of conditioning

coming up tomorrow morning- run/walking a 5K!

[mickeyndvcfan]

Friday....70 mins. at Curves....did extra time on abs again today


Have a great weekend everyone.

[Disneymooners93]

6 mile run this morning. Yesterday spent 30 minutes running behind DD learning to ride her new 2 wheel bike. :thumbsup:

[athenna]

Did 3 hours of house work today:help:
Burned a lot of calories though, so it was worth it:cheerlead
And I had the Snow White soundtrack on, so I could whistle while I worked:tunes:

[withdisneyspirit]

I had a PT appt, so I did 70 minutes today! Only three more PT appts to go, once a week :cheerlead

[withdisneyspirit]

Did 3 hours of house work today:help:

I wish my house was clean:fresh:

Good for you though!

[withdisneyspirit]

Okay, third post in a row! I can tell its the weekend :crazy:

I did 30 minutes on the tread with a short cooldown that I won't count. Have a lot to do today. We're going to Tuscaloosa to watch DS16 play Team Camp Basketball; they have won their first two games :highfive:

[AmyBeth68]

Hey guys!

Had to take rest days on Wed and Thurs due to foot pain. Happy to report that the foot feels MUCH better.

Last night was my 5 Mile Trail Race. Finished in 50:56. This was one of the hardest things I've ever done. So glad I finished...uninjured!!!! What an experience :).

Hope you all are having a great weekend.

[athenna]

I did my 30 min of abs tonight!

[Disneymooners93]

Loooonnnngg run done today.

[athenna]

I did my 30 min abs last night! Have been better about eating healthier this week. Hope to drop a couple lbs.:cheerlead

[pouncingpluto]

I ran/walked my first 5K on Saturday in 33 minutes!

On Sunday, I walked two miles.

[AmyBeth68]

Kerry! Amazing time on your first 5K. WOW!!!! GREAT JOB!!!!! :cheerlead

Yesterday I ran 4 miles in 40:20.

[PoohsPal]

Amy & Kerry - COngrats on your races!! Both of you had AWESOME times!!

I ran 4 on Saturday. Still a bit hot, because I slept in, but better than it had been. Very grateful that my blisters did not bother me.

[withdisneyspirit]

Congrats to everyone on the runs and races :worship: Was it fun, Kerry?

Carrie mentioned me having a challenge for this week...I would like to challenge anyone who wants to - to do a compound muscle move this week as a part of their workout. This is just a strength move that involves two or more muscles. There are many to choose from; some the main ones are pushups, pull-ups, tricep dips, supermans, lunges, squats etc...:sunny:

I was doing abs today so I did a slow scissor move with my legs that works the adductor muscles and lifted into a crunch between each scissor move. That works several muscles :highfive: You can do something different each day.

Got an hour in today on the bike, xertube arm and chest workout plus abs.

[AmyBeth68]

Great suggestion Lisa!!! And those scissor abs are tough (ouch)!!!

Hey and you got an awesome hour in! Look at you go!!! :cheerlead

OK, some Silly Old Bear forgot to do her challenge Friday & Saturday, so I’m still a CM, even though I di d4 work outs. Really got to get on the ball this week. Of course, I’ll get on when we start a new month soon.

Month Change Note: I’m going to count Saturday as June and Start July on Sunday. Please change all of your calendars accordingly. ;)

Week 4 Challenge

I would like to challenge anyone who wants to - to do a compound muscle move this week as a part of their workout. This is just a strength move that involves two or more muscles. There are many to choose from; some the main ones are pushups, pull-ups, tricep dips, supermans, lunges, squats etc. Just do that one move for 2-3 sets, maybe 5-12 reps for most choices

Thanks Lisa!

Clarification – Just one of those workouts does a compound muscle group? I’m thinking so, but if I’m not 100% sure, maybe someone else isn’t either.


Still need challenge help if anyone can think of something! What would help you?

Yes, you can pick one compound muscle move. There are many to choose from! Just do that one move for 2-3 sets, maybe 5-12 reps for most choices. I plan to do a different move each day that I work out. Other challengers may want to learn a new move and practice that one all week to get better at it :cheerlead

I started at 5 reps because pushups for a beginner might only be 5 reps:highfive:

[PoohsPal]

[athenna]

Did my 30 min of abs again last night. I am bound & determined this time!:clappingh

[PoohsPal]

Athenna - Have you measured your tummy to see when you make progress? I'd just do it monthly, at the same time of the month, but that may help you see it more. Way to go on hanging in there!!!

[PoohsPal]

RWE! I missed you ! SOmehow you get removed from my list. :bagovermy: I only have you for 1 work out last week. What did I miss???

No, I haven't but I can kinda see a difference in one certain spot, sort of above my stomach, but under my chest...lol..Does that make sense?:headache:

[pouncingpluto]

I'm taking it easy this week! I think I'll still get my three in, hopefully, but no more than that. I have a little cold virus, I'm still a little sore from the race, and I just found out I'm anemic, which would certainly contribute to the fatigue!

[nono]

25 min trail run + 10 min of stretch...taking it slow this week....

[mickeyndvcfan]

Tuesday....an hour at Curves

[withdisneyspirit]

I did lunges today at PT as my compound muscle move; I also did squats :woohoo: Did a total of 70 minutes!

Hey Athenna, great news on the upper abdomen success!!! Does your program work the lower abs too?

[withdisneyspirit]

Hope you feel better soon, Kerry!

Shorter workout today - 45 minutes doing hills on my tread and push-ups :sunny:

[athenna]

I only did 15 minutes yesterday morning, of my abs. I just was having a stressful day, hadn't slept well, and it was all I could muster.
On the positive side, I went for my monthly WW weigh in last night, and I am down 3.6 pounds from my May weigh in:cheerlead I am really happy about that!

That is great news, Athenna! Congratulations! :highfive: I am also on a weightloss campaign because we leave for Disney in 15 days:bugeyed: and I want to eat while I am there!

[PoohsPal]

WTG Athenna!!!! That is awesome!!! (And it helps so much to motivate you when you see progress.)

Keep up the great work!!:cheerlead

[PoohsPal]

Forgot to talk about me (there's a switch!)

Weather was much better last night and my 3-mioler was closer to on pace again. Plus, I did nto want to die from teh heat! I did 3 sets of 5 pushups last night. :eek: WHoa Nellie! That is NOT easy!

[pouncingpluto]

Still no workout since Sunday's walk. I'm just so wiped out with this cold... finally stayed home from work today.

Way to go on the pushups, Carrie :cheerlead Scary, aren't they? I didn't mention that when I first started working out regularly a few years ago, I did pushups against the wall, then against the back of the couch. Eventually, I worked my way down to doing them on the floor; I wasn't strong enough at first to do them down low :help:

I did an hour today - 20 on the bike and then all my PT exercises, so I repeated the lunges and squats today for my compound muscle move!

Hope you feel better soon, Kerry! Take care of yourself.

[PoohsPal]

Oh, now you tell me LIsa... Actually, I was bound and determined to do mor than the minimum 5, so I didn't look like a slacker. Um, yeah, darn lucky I got 5 in at a a time. That third rep was a killer. ;)

Kerry! Take care of yourself! Use this day to get lots of sleep!

[nono]

25 min run + 10 min yoga (got hungry had to go eat!)

[Disneymooners93]

Six miles against the wind this morning.

[athenna]

I did only 15 min of abs this morning. But that's because it was 6am, I couldn't sleep but I wasn't fully awake, either.:coffee2:

[AmyBeth68]

:D Thurs: 60 minutes KBX

OK guys....I'm outta here for 2 weeks beginning tomorrow. Not going to be online at all during that time. I will however be running my butt of at the beach :). I'll stay on the island...I can be sure of that! Will report back when I return in mid June!!!!

Have a great July 4th Holiday everyone!!!!!!! :sunny: :sunny: :sunny:

[mickeyndvcfan]

Friday.... an hour at Curves

[withdisneyspirit]

Almost forgot to post my workout today - thirty five minutes on the tread and another 25 doing an ab workout. I did crunches, oblique curls, bicycles (a compound muscle move), scissor ab crunches and more for 300 total reps again :cheerlead The only problem with my muscled abs is the layer of fat on top that covers them up :ROTFL:

[pouncingpluto]

I am still being a great big slacker. This cold has kicked my butt!

[Dennyha]

I ran 3 miles on a TM on Thursday, and I ran 3.2 miles this morning. I am SO out of shape, already.

[withdisneyspirit]

I spent the majority of the day cleaning my house today. I did not plan to count a workout until I suddenly decided to scrub my two teenage boys fiberglass tub. Yuck:tapedshut Forty five minutes later, I decided to count it as a workout!!!!!

[RweTHEREyet]

45 minutes at Curves this morning.

[PoohsPal]

Thursday night I did 3 miles. Firday I cleaned fro 3.5 hours and did bicycles.

Sat - Supposed to do 5, but too hot too soon, so we did 3. Walked 3 later too, though. I will try to update ASAP, but until I get July going, feel free to post here.

[athenna]

I think I forgot to report a workout this week. I'm discombobulated (fancy word:ROTFL: ) this week. I haven't been sleeping well, and haven't had the greatest appetite ever, so I haven't been working out a lot.

[withdisneyspirit]

Hey, I'll take that on, Athenna; I think I am discombobulated too!!! :ROTFL:

Wow, Carrie you did a lot! Bicycles too, huh :highfive:

I did 60 mins - 24 on the bike and the rest doing my usual knee therapy exercises which included lunges and wall squats (ouch!)

[PoohsPal]

lol LIsa, I was workign really hard to get back on the island, so I even did extra. Then, I remebered it was a new month. :p I'm glad I did it anyway. I need every bit I can get. Plus, even a few reps must help some, as I felt them. ;)

Carrie,

I have no idea if you missed one (I'm just back now on East Coast time!!!).

I do know that yesterday we took a 40 min bike ride and today ran for 30 min and 20 seconds (whew! just made long enough to qualify for this challenge :ROTFL: ).

Should I be posting somewhere else now (is there a July thread?) I'm so confused. How many months have we been doing this? And I'm still: :help:

[withdisneyspirit]

I got my workout in - 2.3 miles on the tread and a bunch of ab work again, including bicycles and scissor abs for a total of 55 minutes :highfive:
