Daily Exercise Thread - 1/26/04

[supernova]

Well, dear readers. I flaked out this morning. :P I can't seem to get in a full 5 consecutive days. There has to be one morning where I rest apparently.

I'm really enjoying the video thread, btw. And I hope this daily thread is as helpful to you as it is to me. It's great encouragement. :D

1. You'll get there!

My biggest problem now is forcing myself to take one day off!! LOL I love my workouts.

I did 30 mins on the treadmill this morning, ran 10 mins of it (still trying to take it easy with the ankle I twisted last week). 15 mins strength training & tonight is 45 mins of TKD training.

2. i only did half an hour

on my recumbent bike and then some ankle weight floor exercises for the thighs and "buttisimo." was hoping to do more but am pretty wiped out this morning. full moon? hmmm.....

anyway, am going to try to add a half hour on the recumbent every night in addition to morning workout - it really works my butt and thighs like nothing else :P

3. Upper body workout day for me.

I think my pilates class this afternoon will be cancel due to the snow we are having. The gym will probably close soon.

4. Today...

I was VERY pressed for time this morning, so I did a fast WATP mile, adding 3-lb weights. I'll probably get antsy to do more later, and I do a second fast mile with 3- or 5-lb weights.

And, yes, I love this daily thread!

5. Adding more -

I did do more, but I didn't just do a second fast mile. I did an additional FOUR miles. I put in the WATP 4-Mile Super Challenge, intending to do just the first two miles (the second mile is very fast at just 12 minutes), but after the second mile I had such high energy, I just kept going for the full four miles. Although this video doesn't use weights, I added 3-lb weights anyway, for about 45 minutes of the walk.

That makes a total of five miles today and a total of about one hour with weights.

6. Okay, so I was feeling bold today

Felt that my back workout could wait another day so I could squeeze in a second day of legs. Well...let's just say, mission accomplished.

BTW, anyone with a sadomasochistic bend would love leg extensions done as negatives, with a full 5 second hold at peak contraction during the last 3 reps. When those knees start shakin, you know the end is near.

7. Hmmm... sounds great! LOL

Ever try 21's on your leg extensions? Those are killer, too...
