Let's Go Hamsters!!! :vebo: :hamster: :vebo:

[Shadowlee]

hehehe, I get to be first.
Yesterday - Body Combat class. It's a bit like Tae Bo - martial arts-type moves to music. It's very, very tiring!
Today - I got up early and went on the exercise bike for 30 minutes before work.

Go hamsters! :hamster:

Last Thursday was a BEAUTIFUL day here in the D-town, Colorado...so I decided to go for a run around a park...after two FULL laps (finally!) I found out I had locked my keys in my car! :wall:

So, the run continued...to a friend's house...1.7 miles away...overall, an hour-long run and somewhere between 4-6 miles. :nana: 'Twas good.

:nigel: Cheers!

Today I did upper and lower body weights and 45 minutes on the eliptical.

[annabanana]

45 minute fast/hard (depends on how you look at it ;) ) run today.

[Elena99]

I finally did 45 minutes of intervals today. It's not as convenient to exercise here, so I'm slacking off and feeling really bad for it.

Saturday was 90 min ice skating.

Sunday was a 4 mile run and 30 min free weights.

Monday was a rest day.

Today was a 7 mile run. My runs lately have been feeling a lot better and have been quite a bit faster too!

[rainbowmoon]

Ok...today I walked 30 minutes total, 15 to and from class, but was otherwise too busy to hamster.

[Virtue23]

Yesterday, I had dance practice which lasted for about 1 1/2 hours, I guess.

We went thru two dances (one more aerobic - the one I'm leading :)) and the other was more ballet-like and slow.

[annabanana]

Yesterday (Tuesday) was a 2 mile fast run and 35 minute walk w/the dogs.
Today was a 6 mile run and weights.

Go Hamsters!!!!

I plan my workouts a month in advance. The martial arts portion of my workout takes about an hour each session, and consists of my own stlye which I derived from past karate, tae kwon do, and juijitsu training. Next week I work on stances, basic hand strikes, and basic blocks.

[Schoska]

Guys, I've been told that I am going to put on weight before I lose any or slim down at all from going to the gym. Is this true?

[catswym]

wed: 3mi walk
thursday: 3mi walk and 60min aerobics/ calesthenics
today: 3mi walk

[Schoska]

60 mins in the gym - 2 dif bikes, and also that wierd walking machine that gets your arms going too.
I am so tired, but I feel great!

[Schoska]

just done 50 mins brisk walking. ..didn't have time to hit the gym today :(

[Elena99]

45 minutes yoga

[NDvegan85]

5 mile run woot!

[rainbowmoon]

Schoska- Probably not. I think it is doubtful you will put weight on before you lose, unless you are really hitting the weights HARD. However, you might stay about the same but change your body fat-muscle composition- therefore looking better, but having a hard time accepting it on account of not seeing the numbers to prove it. This happened to me in 10th grade when I ran cross country- I went from 156 lbs. to 150 lbs., but I lost a pants size and my body fat % went way down.

I feel like a loser for not working out much, but I am not managing my time well and I had to work 4 days last week, too. I am going to do better this week! I swear!

[Schoska]

Thanks Rainbow!
Don't feel like a loser :) I've done nothing today because of uni stuff. We can't be perfect 100% of the time :beer:
