🧘🏼‍♂️🤾🏻‍♀️Getting Sweaty Again: The 3rd Circuit 🚴🏼‍♂️🏋🏼‍♀️

[Indie]

There are certain things that, when done naked, are not sexy at all. There’s a Seinfeld episode about it. Naked burpees is up there. Floppy flop.

I'm going need to see for myself, ma'am.

I tried to explain this to her as well.

I really need to start small here. 95% of my job and home life is spent either at a desk or on the couch. Today it was all I could muster to walk instead of drive to the school to pick up my kid. I figure if I do 30 minutes of walking each day, that'll be better than what I'm doing now. So let's try that.

The male body is utilitarian. It's for gettin' around. It's like a Jeep.

I’ll try to keep up here as well.
Goal 1. Drink more water
Goal 2. Put down the chips and all potato products for 3 fruits of my choosing.
Grapes, halo (or similar type) oranges, watermelon.
Goal 3. Increase my veggie intake. Green leafy veggies are in my future.
Goal 4. Exercise at least 3 times per week for at least 30 minutes. I see walking, dumbbells, kettlebell, a stationary bike, and stretching in my future as well. Maybe even dance a bit for cardio when I can.

I weighed myself this morning. I’m at 194.0 pounds. Yes, I’m putting myself on blast. I love all my juicy curves, yet my heart may not. I have a sturdy, muscular frame, with a little extra hanging on my midsection, butt, hips and thighs. With clothes on, I can dress up to look pleasingly plump, but without them on…Lord help me…makes me grimace. The hallway closet is mirrored, so right outside the bathroom as I’m on the throne, the view is less than stellar.

August first. This is my pledge. I will come out of my hiatus to join this thread and move something, listing my positives and negatives. If I get up enough courage, I may post a picture, come this weekend. If not, I’ll keep it to show my before and after, by the end of this month.

This is quite nearly perfect timing for me, thank you @Love_Is_Blonde.

I'm just (hopefully) ready to hit the ground again after an injury, so I've created a schedule of two to three runs a week. The hard part for me, I think, is going to be reining myself in. I'm not a superstar or something, but to try to avoid re-injury, I want to try to limit my pace and distances and be disciplined (not my strong suit) in sticking to that.

So goals and schedule set. Look out.

Oh no. I'm a huge burpee fan, but naked, no, not anyone, not ever.

You misspelled butt

I'm going to start small as I've been really inconsistent:

• Swim at least once a week
• Take the stairs at work (work on 5th floor)

I took the stairs the other day and it took 5mins for my heart rate to slow, so I'm going to take the stairs to the second floor, then take the lift (elevator). I'll increase the number of floors climbed when it becomes easy for me to.

Why are all y'all breaking my heart today?

I’ve been away from the gym for a month due to a back injury. Today is the day I get back on the horse.

I have no interest in riding a jeep, though

I go to the gym five/six days a week. I love working out but I’ve completely neglected my cardio all summer. I plan to walk/run a mile today and my goal is to be running three miles by the end of the month. My other goal is to cut beer completely out of my diet during the week.

Something to do between clothed burpee sets, I guess!

I’m going to need some video evidence of this dancing young lady!!!!

My Goal:

Walk/run before work 3x a week and once on the weekends. I’m shooting for 4,000 steps before work because I think I can get the other 6,000 throughout the day. But I don’t think I’ll be able to consistently get all 10,000 if I haven’t started before I leave for work in the morning.

At the end of the morning step goal, alternate a quick arms and legs strength training and always add in some core.

So, adding all of this before work will require me to get up at 5:30 at the latest. That will be an adjustment.

I like your idea of getting steps in before work.

I think you can reach your goal of you keep your eye on the prize. (Increased cardiac health obviously)

Wake up! It’s Walking Wednesday!

According to our calendar, it’s Walking Wednesday! In addition to your base goal that you set yesterday, your challenge today, if you choose to accept it, is to add a little walking to your daily routine today.




Now, lots of us already have walking as part of our base goal anyway, so this is like when it’s double points day at Nordstrom Rack, and we all know that’s a very good day!

So, to make it a little more interesting, I’ve put together some discussion questions, a word of the day, and a BONUS activity. (No googling on the Bonus activity or else you’ll get sent to the principals office!)

I’m off for my walk! Good luck today!

 

[Lmizzler]

I had already planned on doing some biking this morning so I’m going to bike instead but but maybe I’ll incorporate a bit of fartlek.
Headed out now!

 

[Lmizzler]

But it’s a good burn…

Had a nice little walk this morning. Of course I forgot to wear my watch to count my steps.

Here’s my walking buddy

Also, as far as the Bonus question goes, I’m going to start our walking playlist with “These Boots Are Made for Walkin’” by Nancy Sinatra

 

[Whiskeyjack]

1. I don't keep track of my steps, and don't have a set number in mind.
2. I mostly walk my kids to school and back, twice a day. Otherwise I'll just walk around the neighborhood.
3. My favorite walks are the Boston Freedom Trail, and up and down the beach at Assateague.
4. Usually the same skechers I wear for everything else. Unless I'm on the beach - then it's sandals. Couldn't tell you the brand of those.

Bonus question - I know "walk" isn't in the title, but it's the first song that comes to mind.
