Going to salsa aerobics today....I think I am starting to get the hang of the moves. The instructor speaks spanish sometimes or I can't understand her because suddenly everyone will be turned around in the room but me, funny

OK, I know this is supposed to be my exercise week-off, but it's so hard for me to go the entire week without some sort of structured exercise! (I guess I just feel blah if I don't move my body!!) So I did 2 FIRM videos from their new TransFIRMer system. I did Jiggle Free Arms and Jiggle Free Buns. They're only 30 minutes, so it made for a GREAT hour workout combining aerobics and weight training. I'm definitely taking the week off of my treadmill though. I love cardio, but 5 days a week can get mundane!!

Today I did two FIRM videos, one cardio, and the other sculpt. Yesterday I did 4.67 miles on the treadmill. (I was going to go for an even 5, but was REALLY ready to get off the stupid thing, lol!)

Everyone says you have to do a minimum of 30 minutes a day, but that can be discouraging when you're just starting and 30 minutes is killer! Just do as much as you can, even if it's only 10 minutes. Or just make small changes like parking further away at the grocery store. That's what I did. And don't kill yourself!! The great thing about exercise is the more you do, the more you can do. I started out slow and easy, and now I work out 6 days a week. I've been serious about fitness now for a year, so this has definitely been a progressive thing. And, I'm now smaller than I was before I was pregnant. (Although I still want to lose another 10 pounds.)

I've been doing much better about exercising.
I kept saying I would but always made excuses. But last week and this week I hve been running at lunchtime. Just about 20min +/-
Feels good and no more excuse about it getting dark out. It's been cold but sunny here. Hope to build back up to 60 + mins of running. I notice this week my joints and muscles aren't as sore. That's progress in my book
This thread should help me keep on track!

I do go to the gym, but struggle to get there 3 times a week. Reading this thread has made me want to do more, and realise that if somebody who has a little kid to look after can fit that much in, so can I! Way to go girl, keep telling us what you're doing and maybe more people will be able to get motivated....

Way to go girl, keep telling us what you're doing and maybe more people will be able to get motivated.... Aww, thank you!! I knew that I had to do something about my pregnancy weight gain, so I made the decision to do it. It really is a decision. If you really want something bad enough, you'lll make the time, otherwise, you'll just make an excuse! I get up at 5 AM if I have to.
And BTW, this thread really helps me too. It keeps me accountable. I'm just so glad people are getting as much out of it as I am!!
