[Mskedi]

Yay!! After much slothenliness, I'm back...

Saturday I went to the gym and did all weights, ran a mile, and did 30 minutes on the elliptical, and then Monday I did the same. Tonight I danced for 90 minutes. It's been one heck of a lazy summer and a pretty busy first month of school, but I'm ready to get back into my hamstering ways... :hamster:

Of course, tomorrow night is back to school night and I'll be at school all night instead of exercising... figures. *sigh*

[Formerbaboon]

Today (Planned)

1/2 mile run
1 1/2 mile walk
Ab routine

[kat]

I have now got my yellow tags in tae kwon do. Without meaning too I think I have made my friends feel guilty about their lack of exercise. One friend keeps talking about her gym membership and she has taken her kit to work- but not yet made the class.

Another friend is wanting to go to tai chi. Has anyone tried this? I am going to go with her tomorrow to try it out. I doubt I can afford to do both- maybe for a little while I will, but money is pretty tight at the moment. I want to try it, and I doubt she'd go without me. Anyone done it- what should I expect? Do they do belts in it?

Went for a 45 minute walk, used my resistance bands for some strength training, and my body ball for crunches and stretching. :) It's been a while since I've done any strength training, so I just did one set of 10-12 reps of each exercise (I had to figure out how to do them with the bands, so it took a while, too). I will build myself up to doing 3 sets of 10-12 reps.

Cheers! That sounds really fun. I think from what my friend said it will be more about tai chi as a martial art than the healing meditave type. It sounds interesting either way, but not sure if I could stand doing 2 martial arts! What were you doing in China?

40 minutes walking yesterday
30 pushups
some legwork
That's about it, I was having an easy day.

[rainbowmoon]

I didn't do anything. I've been feeling very fatigued and wierd lately, so I figured I'd try taking a day off. I still feel wierd and fatigued though.

[IamJen]

Today was a slow day:
30 mins ea eliptical/treadmill and LOTS of walking :)

RBM: sorry to hear you're feeling crummy. Hope it gets better soon. :)
