I had to back off some today, so all I got in was 25 minutes upper body free weights.

Sundays and Tuesdays will be rest days. Today I did 55 minutes of Callanetics, the Callanetics Revolution dvd. And I am hooked.

I am also a little shaky. Wow... the word pulse will have new meaning for me from now on. I can't wait till my 'old style' callanetics tape gets here, and my book.

I did an hour of body pump today, even though I was still sore from Monday's class! Its such a good workout, I keep wondering why I stopped doing it, its a lot of fun too. Except the lunge track always kills me :/

Oh and for those that don't know what it is, its an hour class of weight training...lighter weights, more reps, builds endurance more than strength really, but you keep adding weights so you're obviously getting stronger.

I did plan to join. We have quite a gang. You guys are already doing this.
I am thinking hard as I need to change the routine up a bit. I think I will go for power this time. Fewer exercises but put more effort into them. Heavier weights, less reps, Continuing yoga though. Still super loving it.

I guess I'm the "fat + lazy" one today. I only got in:

Planks-1min
Squats-5min
Arm Curls-5min
Sit-Ups-2min

I did other stuff, just not the challenge stuff. I guess I'm way out of shape.

Imagine that you're doing great, losing weight, feeling better than ever, thrilled with yourself, hearing compliments from friends and acquaintances---and then it happens! Despite all your good intentions, you're mightily tempted by a food you're not supposed to have. What to do? I'll tell you this: You'd better have a strategy ready!"

Default Re: April Strength Challenge-record your minutes

I did 30 minutes on the recumbent stepper with the tension turned up to make it strength training. 20 minutes of stability ball core. I need a smaller ball. I bought the size for my height, but I have an extremely long torso and short legs and arms. I can't do the bridge because the ball is too tall where it braces my shoulders, and my arms won't reach the floor to keep me stable.

I have a question. I was under the impression that we were only counting strength training exercise. Do we count aerobic exercise like walking or treadmill?
