Summer's coming...is your ass working out?

**Discogoddess** · 03-17-2004, 02:38 PM

Just checking...

I'd like to see less of some of us @ the DHP and/or Chosen Few picnics this year...including myself. The Disco Gut and Deep House Thighs have got to go. ;)

Some good ideas beyond the gym: Dance classes!!!!!! The hip hop/funk/house dance instructor at the Old Town School of Folk Music is trying to kill me...for real. [img]graemlins/rofl.gif[/img] West African dance ain't no punk, either.

Oh, and tennis is great exercise too. Lots of clubs/parks have lessons available now and into spring.

I am running about 15 miles a week. But Marines have to be in shape so that is normal for me.

West African Dance used to kick my rear end! No joke indeed. I wish I could find another class near me. Been doing Pilates since January - however I need to do more, I could stand to lose a few.

**likewater** · 03-17-2004, 02:45 PM

I had to stop working out due to the death of my running partner.. we did walking, running and calastetics in the nieghborhood park... this april I will be starting back up again I miss it....
so far my dancing is keeping me in shape.. I plan on holding on to this size 10 for a while :D

I want to get pair of roller skates(good for the thighs)..
and hit the black top... [img]smile.gif[/img]

How do you like Pilates, Leslie? I'm considering signing up for either that or yoga next month. Like the core-strengthening of Pilates, but dig the stretching of the yoga poses (am a novice to both). Trying to relieve stress from old car accident injuries, and tone.

30-35 miles/week running. Thinking about getting back into competition.

Oh, yeah, back to the gym for strength training.

And need to do some speedwork around the track:

12x400 meters one Saturday

or

4x400
5x300
6x200 another Saturday

or

speed pickups in Prospect Park the third Saturday!

What?? I saw you in Miami and you were adorable. That wasn't my brother with me, though... that was my gut. I've gotta do something... If I come to Chicago this summer eating like I'm eating, y'all will be calling me upliftbacon365.

Thanks for the compliment, love. [img]graemlins/remybussi.gif[/img] Very sweet of you. However, your girl is fleshier than comfortable, hence the dieting and exercising.

Congratulations, JoeB! That's awesome, and inspirational. I'm down 13, with many miles to go B4 I sleep.

I've only done mat classes which are in a small group setting, I really want to have semi-private or a few private lessons on the Refomer but those classes are NOT cheap. I recently bought a really good video at Target that has 25 different Pilates work outs on it, but I strongly suggest you take a class first because an instructor is important with regard to stance, posture, etc.

I tried yoga once and hated it, but a friend and I discussed it a few months ago and I think I'd like to try it again.

[/QUOTE]the funny thing is, DG, that i wasn't really worried about the weight but i just wanted to feel healthy again. i started off at around 230 and i'm down to 197 this morning after i was done doing cardio. just stick with it and don't think about the weight and you will notice how the pounds will just melt off.
