Daily Exercise

[CHEAPandCHIC]

School may as well be called 'the gym'

Walked up 3 flights of stairs, 4+ times
Walked around the corridors, walked to the bus stop, walked through town, walked to my house

yesterday: 1hr cross trainer
today: 50 min cycle class
Has anyone had any really good experiences doing pilates? Im thinking on cutting back on cardio and picking up a class! Thanks in advance!

I feel absolutely awful......Due to my hectic schedule I only work out once a week. Shameful!

[TheSoCalledPrep]

good job everybody and remember to stay fit even though it's getting cold outside...

 

[TheSoCalledPrep]

Maybe somebody else has more info on this...but I think if you do them properly they are beneficial. I have heard they are good for you and bad for you (just like eggs right?), but have been going to the Abs class at my gym and we do a lot of crunches.



As for my workout today- lap swimming again

Situps? Yeah, you can do them, but in moderation. They're better for core strengthening, and crunches are better for cutting and defining. Both are necessary for healthy abs and a stellar six-pack

If you do abs four times a week, one of those sessions and on 15 situps.

I envy you ppl! The most I can get myself to do is 50 mins of fast walking/high incline on the readmill everyday. But I stopped exercising for a week now since my university projects are sucking the life out of me. + I just feel too lazy to go to the gym (I used to though, months ago & it was great @ the time).

yesterday - ran on Mont Royal for one hour (braved the cold winds and light rain and it felt great!)

 

[shoegal2183]

Went to the gym tonight, but felt pretty lazy. Did some running in my new Brooks!..stair climbing, and some core work

 

[kirreway]

^ Shoegal2183 how do you find the brooks? Im in desperate need of some new running shoes since my asics are looking very sad and I was thinking of getting my hands on a pair of brooks but have never tried them before!
Only 30mins of light walking today. After a weekend of way too much partying Ive ended up sick! boohoo!

45 Min Cardio - Elliptical, Rowing and Bike

30 Min Upper Body Weight Training...

 

[Tracy Éva]

A sixty-minute cardio workout...

 

[reba]

Wednesday: 60' mixed cardio: 35' crosstrainer (is that the same as eliptical?), 15 steep uphill walking, 10' stationery bike

Yesterday: 1h15 mixed cardio: 50' crosstrainer, 25' stationery bike

Today is probably my day off as I'll try for 4 days of working out. On Tuesday I went swimming (only for 30' though as I got there too late and the pool closes at 9pm already) and I'll either go running or to the gym again this weekend.

Great work-out everyone!

 

[kirreway]

uh huh a crosstrainer is the same as an eliptical

today:
20 mins hiit on crosstrainer
10 mins skipping
30 mins upper body weights
plus a few hours walking around shopping!

Im not an exerciser at al..its been 3/4 years since i last did any but Im visiting family in the us this christmas and we live next to a gym and get free membership. Im going to try teach myself how to run because at the moment i go out of breath walking.

I do however do about 200-400 weighted crunches every three days if i can remember because im one of those women with a natural abbsy (keira knightly-esque) tum..so situps just define it more.
YOU NEED resistance with crunches, thats one thing i do know. i balance 2 2kg weights on my stomach as i do the crunches.
