3-5 days a week, 45 minutes on the cycle. yes, i'm a wimp, it is stationary - i tell myself it is ok, because i prep portfolio reviews while i'm pedalling and i couldn't do that on a real bike. then weights 3-5 times a week.

i'm a stock broker, gotta work some of that stress off somehow.

I pay for a gym.

I don't think I could remember too many "moves"...but it went white, yellow, orange, purple, blue, brown, then black.

i take classes in both kung fu and muay thai kickboxing three times a week. the workout is pretty intense. both classes are an hour long with an hour of shared physical conditioning time (jump rope, shadow boxing, squats, pushups, etc) in between, for a total of three hours a day.

the muay thai workout is especially nuts. i started at this school (i took kung fu for about 4 years at another place) in july, and the third or fourth class i was pretty sure i was going to throw up/pass out/both. i feel great when i'm done, though. they're organizing a trip to the training camps in thailand next june and i'm thinking of going - heh, not sure if i'm tough enough for that yet, though.

I drive by two doggie-day care operations on my daily one person/vehicle commute. I had to move our Weider 9000 super gt turbo spasmotron in the basement once to get at some paint. Does that count?

Tried pilates last night for the first time. Loved it, I'm sore in places I didn't know I had muscles! A lot to remember though, shoulders back, pilates stance, legs wrapped, but tight, pull in those abs, okay now you are ready for a push-up! :eek:

Ah, I see. In Tukong, it's white, yellow, orange, green, blue, red, black. They told us it's supposed to correlate to an outward transition of seed, sprout, stem, tree, sky, sun, space.

Uh..trees are purple and the Sun is brown? :headshake

Anyone weight train? If you are scuplting your body, is it 2 sets of reps...maybe 10 each? I believe if you want to build muscle you do more than 10.... does this make sense? I think I should go have my :coffee:

Okay, I joined in August and hired a personal trainer who showed me how to exercise. I honestly was completely unprepared for physical fitness. I have always been too skinny and didn't need or want to work out. Now three kids later and 35 years old I am paunchy. I want my body back. I weight train and do cardio but I don't think I am doing enough of either to warrant 280.00 a month for a PT so...I canceled her. I am going to do it myself now that I know what I need to do. She says I need to lose 10 lbs and 10% body fat. That would take me down to 120 lbs and 20% body fat. I love having a goal and now that I am going 2 or 3 times a week it has become a habit. It is better than the smoking habit I have mostly given up so I am happy. I tend to be a little obsessive though and have been really hard on myself about my eating habits. As I hit my 30's I discovered my desires switched from sex and alcohol to food and sex...mostly food. The old saying goes "You didn't get this way overnight and you can't expect to change it overnight either" It is my mantra now.
