Thurs, 4/14: I did *not* work out today--did you?

[MissMillie]

I went and saw Rod Stewart last night, and needed to sleep in this morning. I'll be back on track tomorrow.

1. Got my bike back yesterday afternoon

I walked the 1.5 miles from my house to the bike shop and then braved rush hour traffic (yeah, I know, "rush hour in Central Wisconsin is a joke) to get it home on the State Highway. Exercise was great and now I'm going to do the City Bike trail (about 10 miles)for my morning workout.

2. Is all of that BEFORE work? Wow. nt

[davidinalameda]

3. it depends on how my date goes tonight

:bounce:

5. May you have a good, long workout.

I hope your stamina is high and your focus is spot on. Remember, full range of motion, squeeze every rep, push it until failure.

4. toning this morning

Power Hour, high-rep, low weight workout.

I may also try to take an hour walk tonight to compensate for the HUGE Thai noodle bowl that I inhaled at lunch :o.

[flvegan]

6. I won't be getting to the gym today.

I'm leaving work early to help a friend with their a/c. It's Florida, and we're getting into the hot months.

7. I rode in another neighborhood today

and discovered that it is really boring. But I did get in more than ten miles. I'm doing a 12-mile beginner ride Saturday and I'm signing up for a 25 mile ride the first weekend in May. Can't get enough! :D

[seemunkee]

8. bouldering at the gym

2 hours. Did one hard V5 problem and was beat for the rest of the night

[CitySky]

9. just got home

from a bike ride

on edit: no swimming until this ear infection clears up, tho. :(

[IronLionZion]

10. yup

half hour on the elliptical doing HIIT

[Brewman_Jax]

11. Did a workout double on Thurs

Stability ball cardio and body sculpt workout at lunch, ran 3 miles after work. I went to bed early.

[vikegirl]

13. Stability ball cardio?

Interesting! I've seen pilates on a ball, but not cardio. I have a stability ball, but other than a few ab routines from my DVDs, it just sits there collecting dust. I'd *love* to incorporate cardio with a ball--what does it entail?

[Brewman_Jax]

17. I guess that there isn't much about cardio with the ball

...yet. One of the trainers at my health club went to a seminar on cardio on the ball. She was so thrilled that she got it put on the schedule. It is fun and a good low-impact workout.

Cardio on the ball incorporates basic calesthenics, step, and kickboxing techiques done while standing holding or swinging the ball or seated on the ball.

Some standing movements--jogging up and back, side step touch, grapevine, knee raises, low hops, jumping jacks, lunges side-to-side, lunges back.

Some seated movments--knee raises, inner thigh raises, jumping jacks, kick forward, punch forward, punch side-to-side, hook punch, uppercut, reach up, reach side-to-side.

One or more of your local health clubs may have it on their group exercise schedule. I suggest that you do a few sessions there to get used to the ball and routines. Then you'll know enough to create your own routines.

12. Kind of.

I got dressed to run. I had someone stopping by the house for what I thought was a quick meeting. Of course we ran over. So I never did run. I did maybe 45 min. of yoga before I went to bed just to get rid of that twitchy feeling. I won't have time to workout today either. Bah!

[4_Legs_Good]

14. Yup, arms day yesterday (Thurs)

The first time I've made it to the gym on arms day in like 4 weeks. Hurts today (which I'm happy with).

Today is legs. Ack!
