Just starting log:
Hope to build more muscle
Lose weight through aerobic exercise
Have been working out consistently since Jan. 2002

7/16/04

Aerobics day only--

45 min.

YAY Liz!
I'm sooooooo happy you started your gym log! We can get fit and strong! It's the healthiest way to live and it does set the example for those around us! I'll check in on you, and you me.

BTW Remember that weight training is not only for strength but for weight loss. It builds muscle that will burn fat...in most cases even better than cardio!

Have a fab day.

Exercise video Walk Yourself Thin 45-50 minutes

Weight routine today. NO aerobics

Still exercising everyday, just so busy with everything. Aerobics and weights everyday.

Almost forgot, will exercise in two sessions from now on. One in the morning at 5 and then one in the afternoon at 6:30/

Happy Valentine's Day Ladies

I hope everyones V day has been fantastic. I had some LC chocolate treats today! Oh yes.

Nadz, nice to hear from you girl, long time, no hear! Glad to see you around!

Regina, I do some type of aerobics everyday. I do Donna Richardson's 30 Days to Thinner Thighs and her 30 Days to firmer Abs & Arms one week, each of these contain either leg toners or dumbells for the arms and crunches. The next week I do Gin Miller's Step Reebok workout and Denise Austin's Ultimate Fat Burner. I do all of those on alternate days. I lift weights in the evening. I try to keep something different going so that I don't get that muscle memory thing going on. I've got to get that urban rebounder for something new and different. What about you?

I'm going to check on Nasira, its been a while since I've heard from her.

Well I better get ready to prepare for work tomorrow. I think I will do some crunches before bed. Take care everyone.
