Start a workout check-in/support group??

[tanamcmahon]

I would also like to join!!! I'm not trying to lose much weight I'm 138 so Maybe 10 more lbs but I really want to tone up. I haven't been working out, I'm going through a bit of a depression and was hoping this would get me out of it and get up and do something for ME besides the daily work and kids

[Southernsun]

35 mins on the treadmill = 2 miles but that was all could tolerate today

<3 MY HEART BELONGS TO DROOPY <3

[:IMWAITING:]

Hello ladies,

I will be starting a workout program going to the gym... I would appreciate some feedback on whats the best exercise for arms, abs, glutes & legs... I am a beginner so I figured i would walk 2miles on monday, wednesdays & fridays , and on tuesdays, thursdays and saturdays team up exercises (ie. Tuesday- legs/abs , Wednesday- arms/glutes, etc) .... Any insight will help!! I am 153 and need to lose at least 25lbs! Majority of my weight is in my arms and abs!

Thank you && good luck with your workouts

welcome tanamcmahon!! Jump right in

southernsun sometimes we have to listen to our bodies good job~~

Imwaiting thats pretty much the rotation I do cept I run 3 day... let me get you this link that has some really great workouts on it for weights

I finally weighed myself I am 125.. I am not trying to lose weight but I havent weighed myself in months so I was curious

[mg113]

Imwaiting here is the link to a website I use as a guide.. I do the muscle building but if you click on workouts. a pop up will come for muscle building, fat loss, strength training and click on one of those and not only do they give you rotatons you can click a link to see the proper form to use with each excercise.. if you need more help let me know...I just use it as a guide and adjust the workouts to better fit my needs.

I did legs and arms last night, I am taking today as my off day, tomorrow I am gonna try to run 6 miles indoors of course its to damn hot to run outside

[Sad_Eyes]

I did about 90 mins of cardio today. First time in a bit. Still struggling with the food part. At this point I'm just trying one at a time. Had lost 30 and have gained 10 back :-( would love to start by getting that back off. Keep up the good work and thank you all for your motivation!

[mg113]

right on sadeyes................thats alot of cardio

One of the things I have learned about diet is "if it dont go bad it cant be good', I am trying to eat more real food and less processed food products.

So what I'm wondering is anyone interested in starting a group here (or is there a group already) that would allow us to check in daily showing that we did our work out for the day, share losses, and give motivation and support?? We support each other in all other aspects and I know that together we can do anything we put our minds to!!! Ideas??? Thoughts???

I would love that cause I'm struggling in this area

Hey ladies!!! Well I've been running three to five miles for the last week. I'm at my lowest weight in a long time and feel great. I've been eating very clean. Lots of salads and fruits and veggies.
Keep up the good work!!!!

i have lost roughly 8 pounds in about 3 weeks but last couple of days been maintaining...altogether i have lost roughly 28 pounds (lost 32 then regained back 14) since last october...i bought an exercising bike on friday and my dad just got a treadmil and he is going to give it to me once he is done using it in a few months

[mg113]

Right on Ladies!!

Well this is embarassing but last night hubby and I rode our motorcycles to the nature center to run some trails.... so I am jamming up hills alll of a sudden I see a tree down across the path, so I duck under the tree and lunge up INTO ANOTHER HUGE TREE THAT I COULDNT SEE from where I was running and IT KNOCKED ME OUT COLD for a minute...........

So I couldnt ride my bike so hubby rode me home, then got my bike , had to go to er, they kept asking me if I was afraid to be home ( implying that hubby hit me lol) they kept me for the night for observation so needless to day today is an off day ... I have a big ass shiner AND a cut on my face from my temple to my jaw..

I am planning on a light workout tomorrow.......chest and back but light weights and only if my headache is gone ( I have a mild concussion) I am more embarassed then anything else.

That is a great idea. I've already lost 78lbs and trying to lose another 70lbs to be at my target weight. Count me in!

Dont feel bad for giggling, I laughed my ass off over it already lol especially since I am wearing those big sunglasses to hide my shiner .....it was a freak accident.

I hit the gym this morning, knocked out chest and back, gonna try to run again tomorrow ............

Jazzy wow having to take your son to the track will definitely help motivate you...

Chucks wife good job on the walking!!! Keep it up girl... you will feel really good about yourself
