BellaOnline Forums Health and Fitness Exercise what workout WILL you be doing today?

Day of rest, Dianne? LOL. Doesn't sound like you're resting at all.

After last night's feast, I am turning a new leaf today. Definitely will be working out. I can't get into the weight lifting so it's pilates and a long walk for me.

We had so much fun at the pool yesterday but I realized that I've been so focused on hip rehab and flexibility that my core is not as tight as I want it to be for bikini season.

I had already added some core exercises back in this month but I think I need to do a bit more all next month. I'm starting today with a high intensity fatloss circuit that includes some evil gliding disc exercises for the abs.

Got my period this morning (yuck) so probably just walking today & tomorrow. I'm feeling slightly sore from yesterday's workout - I just love that feeling. I'm in the same boat w/ you Monica - I need to add some more core exercises to my routine.

I generally get lazy about core in the winter but this year it's taken me longer to get back into core workouts because of rehab. I'm ready now!!!

Ms. M, it's hard to imagine you being lazy about ANYTHING...lol...

Lori, Walking works too!!!

Jeriy, I hope you're feeling better today!!!

A bit of household drama made it impossible for me to get to the gym, but tonight is my advanced swim class so, I'll get a bit of a work out...looking forward to it!

They have Gravity equipment at the gym and it looks rather intereting, but I keep missing the Gravity 101 class. I hope to go Thursday's class otherwise I have to wait until it's offered again next Monday.

Gravity 101? That sounds cool. What is it?!!

Jeri, I hope you are all better. What you have is contageous. You gave it to me now (LOL) but not too bad this time around so my workout yesterday was:

4 circuits of the following with 1 min. rest between circuits

trx incline row 8-12 (the reps on this vary so much for me)
burpees with pushups from knees 6-8
valslide reverse + lateral lunges 6-8
valslide plank pikes 8-12 (evil vicious core ripper exercise)
table top to toe touch 12-15
jumping jacks

Each circuit took about 3 1/2 min. so with rest the entire workout took about 20 min. I finished up with 10 min. of stretching then another 30 min. of stretching before bed.

Today I'm doing functional upper body plus biceps and core circuit. It's moderate intensity day!

Thanks everyone...I'm feeling better today (usually the 1st day is the pits). I'm going to tackle the 16 flights of stairs today...if I'm feeling up to it I may do it twice. That Gravity 101 class does sounds interesting.

I've been doing 30 minutes of Tai Chi every morning, plus one of my 10 minute workouts, plus about 20 of yoga stretches.

It's great to see all the workouts everybody is doing! It's really motivating.

Healthymom62, It is VERY motivating to log in and see what everyone is up to. I've never done Tai Chi. They used to offer it as part of the package when I belong to the YMCA, but the rec centers only offer it for a cost. I've always wanted to try it.

Tonight is the last night of the Wednesday Bible Study class I'm co-facilitiating so I will see what I can get in at lunch today. I'll check back in later.

That's awesome HM62. I was always terrible at Tai Chi but have not tried in a long time. One of my clients was using it for shoulder and hip rehab and it was helping a lot.

Yesterday's workout was:
5 min. mobility

2 circuits of 10-12 reps of:
horse stance
stability ball lateral roll
stability ball w drill + cobra back extension
TRX W and Y drill

Intermission - Worked out late so got interrupted with dinner and other stuff but continued half an hour later. Not the best way to workout but better than only doing half the workout.

3 circuits of 10-12 reps
stability ball db pullovers + flys
TRX power pull
TRX pushup

3 circuits of 8-10 reps
stability ball hip extensions (bent leg)
stability ball leg curls
bent over db rows
sandbell single leg stiff leg deadlift

15 min. stretching

Today is yoga day!
