Sort of like a virtual personal trainer? That sounds great. I have my husband for that -- he drags me out of bed each morning and even trains with me. It annoys me that in half the time he is more ready to run this half-marathon than I am, but I guess that sense of irritation is motivating. :-)
I suck at text messaging, so I can send you "get up and get moving!" thoughts, instead.
Yesterday: rest day
Today: 5 mile run, 300 situps/crunches, lots of stretching
All those who seek to destroy the liberties of a democratic nation ought to know that war is the surest and shortest means to accomplish it.

Send me your mobile and Ill harass the fvck out of you .
Yay I go back today for the first time in a week. Think I might drop off the high intensity for a while (body has taken a pounding the last week with flu) and do some function work for a month or so.
Lotsa cables, lotsa uneven points, lotsa ball work and me old favorites....one leg dead lifts
South of Seattle. I have those workouts for you. Do you wanna PM me your email addy??

Today: 100 minutes walking
60 minute spin class (with my fav instructor--she REALLY kicks your behind!!)
70 minutes on the elliptical
30 minutes on the body ball working abs and core

Serious that Ill ring you at all hours and tell you to get moving??? Yeah why the hell not.
Can you reimburse me for the calls tho?
Oh man if you have anything like I had you have some serious shit over the next week. Twas the constant headcahe and sore body for me. A whooping cough and runny nose are a walk in the park.
Today I decided to try to break away from my love affair with the elliptical machine. Always gives me a great workout but I need to do something different! I decided to run/walk for 45 minutes. Had a plan to walk for 2, run for 5, walk for 2, run for 5. But I had never used that treadmill before and chose the hill option. I didn't realize that the speed would just randomly double! :eek: I nearly fell off. :eek: So after I adjusted that I had an awesome workout!
Here is what I did today:
60 minutes walking
10 minutes warm-up on elliptical
45 minute spin cycle class
45 minutes run/walk on the treadmill (see above--my first time running in about two years--it was SOOO hard but now I want to challenge myself and do more running next time. I'm just proud of myself that I finished really strong )
30 minutes strength training with weights
IM BACK after a 10 day layoff....weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
Nice and easy today but I still blew like Phar Lap
Cable squat/press - 22kg, 10 each arm x 3 sets.
30kg one leg deadlifts, 10 reps each leg - 3 sets.
30 sec plank hold on ball - one leg. 2 each leg.
20 chins, 20 dips.
15 mins stretching. I finally feel alive again
I know how you feel! I was really sick for about 3 weeks and couldn't work out. Last week I did a few light workouts and this week I am back in full force. Feels great, doesn't it?

I was the fittest I have ever been the last two months. Training with, keeping up with and even beating the odd trainer (who does it as their profession). That damn bug took it nearly all away - seems a sorta waste.
I reckon it should only take 5-6 sessions to get back there I hope.
Today I ramped it up a fair bit and besides one or two 20 sec couging fits I got thru. 50% slower than I have done but yes I feel great again. Was only 10 days but I missed it.
Great to hear you are back at it and feeling good. Good for you!!!!!!
