Lets work out together! Is anyone interested in starting a work out group on YT? |
I might be interested. What is it going to consist of? I need some motivation. |
2 Attachment(s) Special Motivation! Drop and give me 50 Short Round! |
I will join |
Yay! I need the motivation too. Today lets start with writing down what we eat and keeping track of calories. In addition, if you have any good healthy recipes post them to share. I will try to get a work out in today if I'm not depressed with the Buffalo Bills today. :rolleyes: If anyone has any good suggestions please share them! Kristy |
Kristy, Can I make a suggestion along with the tracking meals and calories, can we make a commitment to workout at least 3 times a week for 30 or more? Meal planning and calorie counting is kind of second nature to me since I have done for so long so I should be able to offer a lot of suggestions. Thanks, Cheryl |
oops that should be 30 minutes or more. By working out it could even be taking our dogs our for a long walk - as long as we are moving. |
That sounds wonderful!! Any information you would like to contribute please feel free! That goes to everyone. If possible I would like everyone to log in as much as possible so we stay committed. Here's a free calorie counter. Calorie Calculator - Daily Caloric Needs |
Every home should have a treadmill and some barbells. That is really all you need. This way, when the weather is bad out, you can walk inside, at your own pace. 3-5 days a week, 45 minutes a time. Use weights to burn more calories, strenth, posture, and prevent bone loss in the female body. Cut down portion sizes......weight watcher points. Try it for a few months.... |
Hmmm, I'm starting a diet tomorrow. Back to 1,200 calories for me. Sigh. Supposed to be walking, biking, or swimming for 30 minutes at least 4 days a week too. :thumbdown I'll join. :) |
Does Yorkie lifting count as exercise? |
I go to exercise class 3 times a week for an hour class. I do strength training on Sunday mornings and Zumba(South American dance/exercise) class 2 times a week. It's the only way for me to stay motivated. I won't do it on my own, no will power. I go to the PArk District health club so it is reasonable. My problem is sugar. I would rather eat sweets than a meal. I a going to try and cut down on that. |

Kristy...I know what you're saying about the Bills! God save us they are playing the Packers today! We need Marv Levy back! Thurman Thomas, Bruce Smith etc. Anyway, yeah I'd like to join in this work out group. Dyan |

This sounds great! I have a good start on my diet (dr. put me on low salt) and I can do the walking. I need help with a well rounded plan like exercises and stretches I can do at home. Where to start |
My suggestion on walking and stretching is try using the Couch to 5 K plan. You don't really have to plan to do a 5 K but you can learn so much by following their plan. Here is the link Couch to 5k - C25K Running Program and this site is also really good, gives you the schedule and some ideas for walking/running and stretching Cool Running | The Couch-to-5K ® Running Plan Remember you don't have to run to get the benefits, it is important to keep moving. I saw that someone goes to a Zumba class, that is FUN!!! I went to one once and it was great. |
i will be starting round 2 of insanity tomorrow. count me in. i already eat clean, so that's no biggie for me. |
If anyone else here is an Ipod/Iphone addict, there is a good free app called "lose it!" that helps you track your food and exercise. |
I'd love to join too. I really need to get motivated! Cathy |
So here's an update. I stayed "moving" today with loads of laundry, cooking and cleaning. Sunday will be my "day off." Tomorrow I plan to do my p90x routine. As far as what I ate: Breakfast: Shakeology shake and a pear Lunch: A little Wegman's fat free cottage cheese - did anyone watch Thintervention? Jackie said choose cottage cheese over yogurt! and I has apple sauce. Dinner: I made cauliflower soup with a little sprinkle of cheese and croutons. Yum I think I did ok. Please feel free to post your calorie intake....this is how we will do it together to stay motivated. PS the Buffalo Bills lost :( |
Follow the 3 W's! Weight Watchers and Walking. Naturally, eat smart, no junk, smaller portions. |
Just checking in....has anyone kept track of your calories or worked out? :D |
Treadmill, 45 minutes, and 15 minutes of weights in the basement. Tomorrow to the Health Club for 90 minutes, and a walk everyday with Carlo. |
I started the couch to 5k program. Didn't count my calories, but ate small portions of things that are good for me. Up until a year ago I ran 3 to 4 miles everyday, got lazy and surprise surprise---when you're 55, don't exercise and eat everything that doesn't run away---pounds creep up on you from nowhere! I'm glad to get started again. Thanks for the nudge I needed. |
I'll join! I've been trying to exercise more and it's hard to get motivated. Thank God I have a dog who insists on a walk of some sorts every day, however some days I get lazy and take him to the dog park while I sit on a bench! ;) This weekend I was really good. I walked Fri-today every day for at least 45 minutes a day, one day was an hour walk. I also don't eat very good for myself but have been becoming much more conscious about my food than ever before. |
So I accidentally committed to walk/running a half marathon :eek: I think I best be joining that couch to 5k now.....:blush: |
I dont eat after 5pm. Drink 6 to 8 bottles of H2O, no sodas. Eat 5 small portion meals. Dropped 20 lbs in 4 months. Feels great...I think the water is a big key to weight loss. |
Tonight was weight training for me, started and ended with 10 minutes on the treadmill. Worked legs, shoulders, chest, arms and abs, tomorrow is Spin class. My schedule is; Monday - Weights, Tuesday - Spin Wednesday Weights Thursday- Spin Friday Weights Saturday- Treadmill (running) Sunday - Free day unless I ate a lot of crap on Saturday night then its running. I change my schedule about every six weeks but the Spin stays in. |
