Everyday I tell myself I want to start working out. But I never do! I always come home from work & get online or watch TV...& spend the rest of my evening doing nothing! Ya...no good! So here is what I was thinking...if your like me & need motivation to work out, maybe we can motivate each other. Whether you like to run, or walk etc. Lets keep track of it & see who can get the most mileage >> Since you all like to compete I figured this would be a good place to do it. Here is a chart of conversions so you can keep track of your miles:

walk 1 mile = 1 mile (duh)
run 1 mile = 1 mile (duh)
bike 1 mile = 1/4 mile
swim 1 mile = 4 miles
Rollerblade 1 mile = 1/2 mile

So who wants in on this? Come on I need motivation! It would start today & everyone starts with ZERO miles. We can post our progress as we go & see who can get the most "miles" >> >> >> >>

Its just an idea I had, if no one wants to do it then uhhh never mind I'll do it alone you lazy bastards >>

You look pretty good in your pics so I wouldn't waste time on aerobics, if you want to get definition, I concentrate on weight lifting to define your abs, arms and legs.

this will build muscle that help you burn fat even when you sit on you bum for the rest of the day, plus your session can be as small as 20 mins twice a week vs aerobics ever day for 30 mins +

Don't worry you wont get huge, thats a myth. You would have to be really hardcore to get bulky (been weightlifting for 10 years and im still skinny)

I will concur on that, I did those walk meter things and did the math I walk 1 mile for every hour i work. I work 50 hours a week. I do 200 crunches every morn or night and I run 2 miles or bike 4 miles every day off. And lift wights every other day. But then again I also use to be very fat so thats was my motivation. Now im fit and happy with my body.

Oh an for today I slacked, onyl lifted for 30 min and biked 4 miles.

I do 20 mins twice a week of hardcore weight training with a personal trainer


and now am doing 3 times a week of 20 mins hardcore intense cardio.



its hardcore bootcamp type work outs but the difference in just the way i feel is incredible :-) In a few weeks or so I should notice a difference in myself :-)

I go to the gym 3 times a week, and keep my calorie intake around 800-1000 daily. For those who think that's unhealthy, there are a lot of healthy foods that have very low calories.. and celery has negative calories.

work is a work out for me, I do alot of walking around and lifting servers and crap (servers are heavy) does that count? other wise I dont have time to walk/work out butt I make up for it with lack of food because I'm still not use to eating at night and I sleep though when I'm hungry.

If I swam everyday for 1.5 hours at an easy pace I would rack up an equivelence to about 70 miles a week. Or 2.25-2.5 swimming miles per day. So i find this 1:4 ratio kinda overdone maybe 1:2 or 1:2.25 I don't know.

I told you im lazy....

Its almost been 2 weeks since I started this thread & I havent gone running once! Mainly because I need someone to go running with. Being a woman living in this crazy world of ours today I dont feel safe running alone...& I dont care what time of day it is.

Anyway yesterday I did some crunches & stuff like that which after about 10 - 15 min of my little ghetto work out I was out of breath & sweating...thats pathetic! But I am all sore today so thats good >> better than sitting on the computer doing nothing >> So I really, really want to start running...I wish one of you lived closer to me...so we could go running together! UNLESS Ace or Andy want to go running w/ me lol they dont live very far...

here is a "weight-for-height" chart....Im 5'7" & weigh 132lbs (last I checked) Woohoo Im a healthy weight! >> But I want my engery back!!

How is everyone else doing w/ their excersise?? can you fit behind ur steering wheels? >>

I just saw this:

Me getting a line number for TSgt has prompted my arse to get back in the gym and get back in shape. As such....

4-5 days a week I've been on the Elliptical machine for 30 minutes straight at a 6 MPH clip. It's not much, but I just had back surgery on two lumbar discs in late Feb. I'm not allowed to run anymore so I do what I can.

I just wish I hadn't let myself go for so long. >>
