April Exercise Challenge

Ok, here we go again. I'll start it up:

3 mile/27:30 min run this morning. I'll definately make it in tonight to get legs done. Add in a little more cardio as well.

Let's see if we can increase our new "faces" in here as well.

Starting Zumba classes next week.nn2X per week.

Will continue with 2 days weight training and 20 minutes cardio

Okay, I'm not going to lay out numbers like ya'll, but I want to do 30 minutes every day after work with my daughter. I want to rotate arms, legs and cardio.

We've gone every day this week and I promised her a manicure on Sat if we go for one week straight.

I think going after work is easier than getting up in the morning.

I decided it was time for a long run. I do the speed work every week with my Track workout, but the long run isn't always that long. I want to run 4 miles in the gym before my triathlon so I'll know I can do it when I'm actually doing it.

So I tried today but I didn't quite get there in the 47 min. I allotted myself. But I'll do it next week or die trying!

Good to hear.

As for me, no a.m. workout yesterday. Did upper body circuit training in the p.m. Followed that with 35 minutes on elliptical and 1.5 mile run on treadmill.

This morning, I did 2.5 mile/21:50 run on treadmill followed by 10 minute cooldown. Won't get legs tonight. Working 12 hrs today and then have to get DD from in laws. I'll try after work tomorrow.

yesterday - nothing
today - 45min session w/trainer; all upper body & ab workout, 20min physical therapy on ankle.
after lunch dh and i hit the driving range - few buckets of balls hit.

We did a bike-run transition but then we had to bike back to our cars so it was more like bike-run-bike!

90 min. bike
30 min run (though I got lost and only did 25 min)
30 min. bike

I am still the slowest on the bike but apparently I have the fastest transition time!

Yesterday, I went in the afternoon to the gym after work. Did leg circuit training and 2 mile run.

Working 16 today, so no workout. We'll see how I feel tomorrow morning.

Thread Starter

No exercise this morning as I worked a double yesterday and only got about 3 hrs of sleep. Mainly due to our GSD deciding midnight would be an excellent time to start hacking up a lung in our bedroom last night.

If I can keep the caffeine drip going today, I'll hit the gym after work to do upper body and a little cardio. If not, I will go home and sleep about 12 hrs.
