Paris' Gym Log - From Flab to Fab!
I am a complete wimp. I have no idea how to exercise... is that pathetic? I remember being pretty active a kid and now... well, I think parking far from the grocery and walking a few extra steps should count as moderate aerobic activity.
I am hoping that this log will change all of that. :lol: Right now I am working with my Walk Away the Pounds 2-Mile DVD. I use the 2 pounds weights with it, but not really count that toward any kind of strength training. I have a few free weights (5, 8 & 10 pounds) but have very little idea what to do with them. I am completely cluless (as I said above!). Goal #1 --- Start: February 23. End: March 23. Complete the WATP 2-Mile video with weights at least 4 times per week. Research free weight strength/repetions/moves. Create a free weight program to follow at home. Move more. :cool: Paris |
February 23, 2003 ---
I could not even think of popping Leslie in and doing the same moves I did the other day. Instead I decided to take advantage of the "nice" weather and take a walk. I walked briskly for 25 minutes today and managed to jog for about 2 minutes of the 25 (this is HUGE for me). I will love on Leslie tomorrow and also get some crunches in and maybe a few yoga stretches as my back is killing me. |
Ok, I am taking today off. I feel icky and I have a ton of errands to run with a friend this evening after dinner.
Tomorrow is Ash Wednesday and exercise time is also a good time to pray! ;) |
Walk Away the Pounds 2-Mile DVD with 2 pound weights
15 crunches Various yoga-inspired stretches I am feeling pretty good. I didn't have too much trouble with the DVD today; I kept up and was not strained. |
15 v-crunches
Various yoga-inspired stretches I feel like a slug. I can still make my goal by working out tomorrow and Sunday. I will do it! |
Nada on the exercise today... too busy reading the Protein Power books. :D
|
Me = slug. I did not meet my goals this week. :(
|
The slug is back! Well, kinda. My exercise goals are so very modest now... and I am still not meeting them completely. :(
Monday - 5 minutes upper body weight training (so outta shape! I thought I'd die if I went longer). Tuesday - window shopping - 2676 steps on the pedometer. Wednesday - more upper body weight training (at least 10 minutes). Props for my hubby! This AM he did 30 minutes of pilates. I will be joining him tomorrow. :) |
:yay: WTG Paris!! Keep it up GF!! :yay:
|
Nothing today... the only exercise I wanted to do was to walk to Giant Eagle for trigger food. :devil:
Needless to say I am quite happy that I refrained from such exercise. :D |
I made progress in my exercise goals yesterday!
I finally went over to the aquatic center to get the water aerobic schedule. Barring any problems getting a leisure card, I will begin water aerobics Tuesday and will continue going twice a week on Tuesday and Thursday mornings (or evenings if I wanna sleep late :D )! |
