Zumba! (or any other exercise) - Page 2

Russian kettlebell exercises are great fun. After you get a few in different weights you start to feel like a Russian athlete, or like you live in a gulag (or a bombed out building in the USSR).

Well, obviously, I didn't do anything since last Wednesday

Bad Brandy. Instead of hiding and drowning in depression of yet something else I didn't finish, I am owning up. The weird thing is that when I hear some booty shaking music, I start imagining Zumba steps. Gonna do the Beginner's again tonight.

I have a bunch of exercise DVDs I rarely use, preferring instead just to jam to music free form. I'm an independent soul!

I've just ordered a treadmill which arrives tomorrow. I'm finding it's really hard to get out to excercise mainly because of the kids needs always coming before mine, so I've decided to bring it to me. We've got a good weights set out the back, so the strength training is no problem, it's just cardio work that it's hard to get into. I don't want to transform all my fat to muscle. lol

Yea...just went to bed instead. Today is the start of my weight watchers week, so I was going to exercise tonight. Instead, I am going to throw on some music and clean up the downstairs. I will be moving, but things will get done, too. If I can at least start moving after work, it has to be better than nothing!

God, I am so frustrating. I want to lose weight, but I am too damn lazy to actually do anything.

I want to lose weight, but too damn crazy not to eat everything.

If it's anything like the treadmill in our house, it's going to become the kids' favorite new toy.

One thing my mom did that I always thought was clever was she set her computer up on a shelf in front of the treadmill. Whenever she was online, she had to walk. Nothing vigorous, but if she wanted to surf, check email, anything at all--she had to be walking.

I could have got the super delux model with the TV screen and everything which would have allowed me to check email and stuff, but I don't plan on going that slowly for too long. Within a couple of weeks I hope to be running or at least jogging. My muscles have 'remembered fitness' so it shouldn't take too long to get up to speed (I hope lol).

I want to drop at least 4 dress sizes by Christmas.

Good luck Ali. Keep us updated (if you feel so inclined).

This website is good for keeping a diary of your workouts. Last time I was "training" for something, writing it down helped me keep as motivated as I get with this sort of thing. They also have suggestions for programs-e.g. how far to run how many days a week and when to build up kms etc... to reach a goal + specific programs for things like weight loss.
