Workkin' Out! - Page 18

The kids and I rode one at the Davinci science center, but it was bigger and had 2 chairs in it. I didn't hate it... but i like roller coasters better.

The chair one feels totally different and doesnt work your core strength like that bastard.

I love the stand up one.

Thanks for the video, DN. I have seen those before. (Here, not IRL.) I guess what confused me is that I thought Ducks was trying out a new piece of equipment meant specifically to work out. I was trying to figure out how you would get yourself moving--and what direction that movement would be, fromt the still pic. The video shows someone on the outside pushing the rings around just giving the person inside a ride. I don't doubt though for a second you get a great core workout trying to stay in that thing.

I'd try it in a heartbeat, but definately before I hit the funnel cake stand.

I was using it at the gym....they had one there for a week, just for something different.

That video is actually the first time I have seen someone pushing the thing around......all you have to do to get yourself moving is move your weight slightly in any direction.

Lean forward and you are on your way, the workout is amazing, its like a core strength ball on crack.

Sweet!!!

I was just logging my mileages for yesterday's run and swim workouts into ontri.com, and so far since I have been keeping track beginning in March, I have swum over 25 miles!!!!

I put in 2900 yards at last night's swim. That's a personal high for me. There are several members of the tri club that average over 6,000/ workout, so I'm no big fish, but I'm still pumped!! Just over 2 weeks to the tri and I can officially say I am more than ready for the swim part. Whew.

Now, I just need to practice getting in and out of my wetsuit. . .

To be fair, some xtians in my homeschooling group share the same concerns when yoga is mentioned as a possibly PE activity...

i was just talking about my sore muskels.

although i do enjoy the awareness of my abs that comes the next day.

monster · 11-23-2008, 12:55 PM

yoga is just sooo boring. Even power yoga.

Ok. Since the move my dog hasn't had a place to stretch out. I had to start running with her.

I regret to inform you all, that I jog now. It really was the last thing I wanted to do with my lazy ass. I was surprised to find that I had fun. I was also surprised to find that I was in better shape than I had thought, and not one thing hurt when I was done. Good news.

She was also very cute in her jacket.....Doggy jackets actually f'ing work dependent on how they are designed. Love. it.

The "with under 2yo kids" is a reference to the fact that you don't have a lot of time to work out--hence, condensed push/pull routines.
