Welcome to Summer!!

June always signifies summer fun to me :D

You can post your goals for the month, or just your movement day by day - it's up to you!

Join us at anytime - stay as long as you like - do whatever you like! :p

The sun is shining - it's time to get some vitamin D ......let's go!

[monkapotapus]

I'm starting off today by heading out of state for continued yoga training :)
My training starts Thurs & ends on Sun - believe me I will get some movement in those days!

I'm not sure how much I will get in today - as I will be driving for 5 hrs.....:rolleyes:

My goal this month is to break out those belly dancing vhs :eek: tapes that I bought new - years ago.......it's time to learn something fun & nourish my soul!

I will also still be teaching my 2 yoga classes per week :)

How about you?
Whatcha got??

[Mad Mex]

Not that I do miss the beginning of the month, 70min of inline-skating.

Marcel :cool:

I LOVE JUNE!!!

This month I have MUCH to do...

I need to find a part-time J.O.B. here in my new town of northern Los Angeles.
I have to finish the relaunch of my DauntlessDiva.com website.
I need to kick my Green Juicing up a notch and get RID of the last remnants of PMS/Endometriosis that are still trying to hang on... :D
I need to continue stabilizing my moods/reducing the effects of trauma/regenerating my cells + Spirit...

How can I best accomplish these goals, I ask you?

The answer lies in................................................ ...

Dancing + Yoga + Rebounding + Walking the Dogs

Hee hee... I love my Life.

[Shels]

Yet another 8 hour shift, but I likely didn't get too much real exercise, as it was unbelievably slow today.

Gosh it has to have been a week since I did my pilates. :( *sigh* I will make myself do it tomorrow morning, no excuses.

[k8sl8]

Two 45 min. water classes: Water walking and barbells

[Mad Mex]

2.5 hours cycling, now I'm hungry and need to eat something...

Marcel :cool:

[Shine]

Well - starting slow but I DID do a 15 minute walk at lunch yesterday. And I am going to count 10 minutes of rehearsal warm-ups too :D

[CathyA.]

StarFire--you are cracking me up!!

So far today--walking with my pups

[Coriander74]

I did 30 minutes of a very confusing Zumba video. Quit that and did a walk/jog video for another 30 minutes. I love the twitches in my muscles!

[Shels]

Rather half-hearted pilates this morning. I'm starting to get bored doing this on my own, I wish I could afford a class or something.

[CathyA.]

Walking with the pups this eve
30 min treadmill walk/run

[StarFire]

This morning I went hiking along our stream. After I getting all hot and sweaty - I took a cool dip ... and just as I was relaxing and enjoying the cool water... nibble nibble... AAACCCCKKKKK.... :eek: I was attacked by a freshwater prawn... that thing was like 10" long!!

dh wants to trap them and eat them... which I absolutely forbid... I told him... they are like neighbors... you can't eat a neighbor!

course I wonder if that darn prawn knew I was IT'S neighbor??

This afternoon I decided to walk our property instead... one nibble a day is enough for me! Walked over 2.5 acres... not sure how that equates in distance.... but it was a good walk.

no taebo today... I need at least a day to recover in between torture sessions! :rolleyes:

[StarFire]

I did 30 minutes of a very confusing Zumba video.

I've heard rumblings about this ZUMBA thing.. some girls were talking about it in Hula monday - but I didn't catch what they were actually saying - before the left....

what exactly is ZUMBA?

[CathyA.]

morning walk with the fur babies.

Today I did "my personal fitness coach" dvd , whew she kicked my butt for 30 min..so glad I did it though..
Tomorrow...I will be back..

[Mad Mex]

Stretching, some dedicated pilates (for once!) and slightly distracted meditation. My days are so much better when I really have time for this.

[Mad Mex]

Just to move the muscles a bit, 65min cycling on a more flat route.

Saludos,

Marcel :cool:

[StarFire]

[Coriander74]

StarFire, I LOVE the little cutie nomming broccoli. :D

Today I did 10 minutes of yoga before deciding that I really wasn't in the mood for it. I then did 25 minutes of sculpting cardio. Have I mentioned how much I love the "on demand" exercise videos available through my cable company??

[Sinful]

I'm finally getting my bf (who is also a Personal Trainer) to put me through a boot camp. I've been at him for months but finally he's ready because I'm ready!

Mostly Weight Training and some running(I'm new but not new to this, it always hurts no matter what I do.. Any Advice?) .. As far as I know. Sunday are intense, we go to his gym and he trains me the HIT way. 350 plus on the leg press anyone?

I'm hoping to maybe blog a tiny bit about it, but mostly get a little bit of support.

I wish everyone the best!

[Basenjimamma]

I am still here, although going at it slow, every other day I do this really intense cardio program for 30 minutes, on the other days I walk fast for an hour.
I also do pilates and my "own weight" weight training, so lots of slow reps to really feel it. So far I am firming up nicely.
I have a tendensy to go full out and get burned out as a result..not this time, thus the slow transition.
Keep it up peeps.

[CathyA.]

I'm still with here. Just spending less time on the puter. Been:
walking at least 2 times a day with pups
lifting weights
running on tread.

[Coriander74]

30 minutes of aerobics. Wow! Energized!!!

[Green_Woman]

June blah blah blah... I keep losing track of days. :D


Anyway, tonight was Revvell's Self-Defense and Fitness Class (http://www.meetup.com/Self-Defense-Fitness-and-Fun/calendar/13600953/?a=facebook) and let's just say I got my full body work out!!!

Every day previous this month I'm walking, walking... and walking some more.

Also been doing a little wild free-style dancing. Wild dancing is good for the soul. ;)

:D

[Shine]

Had a great afternoon 30min walk yesterday - one of those days where it's sunny but sprinkling at the same time - just makes me happy to be outside!! :)

[monkapotapus]

Wow! It's so great to see everyone :D

I got back from my yoga training late Sunday night - but haven't really had time to read everything here & post....

Here's my week of movement

Picking back up with 6/2: We went to a bunch of shops in Minneapolis, so lots of walking....then took another walk with her fur baby that night.
6/3: Yoga training started that day.....2 hour yoga session & walk with fur baby
6/4: Took a 35min yoga class taught by Beth Shaw - the owner of Yogafit - where I go for my trainings :)
Then I also had my 2 hour yoga practice in my anatomy class + walk with fur baby
6/5: 1 1/2 hour yoga practice + walk with fur baby
6/6: 1 1/2 hour yoga practice
We also walked outside at lunch time 3 out of the 4 days - it was beautiful & so lively in downtown Minneapolis
6/8: Taught/did my 1 hour yoga class :)

[Sinful]

monkapotapus: I was so confused for a moment until I noticed those were all different days. I thought you had just done that in one day! Awesome work, I was thinking about getting back into yoga, what do you do it for?


Today I ran for a mile (not much but got to start somewhere) then a little bit of streght with my body (push ups, sit ups, ect.)

Hope everyone is feeling great!

Lol :p ....if only I could do it all in a day.....:rolleyes:
I've been teaching yoga for 4yrs now - I love it - I do more of a vinyasa flow style - it's the only time I seem to have to settle down & focus on me :)

Good job on your movement - every little bit counts! :D

[Coriander74]

I did the same 30-minute aerobics video that I did yesterday. I felt amazing after it. Today I just feel tired, but really glad that I did something else to help my body!

[monkapotapus]

6/9/10
Today my sister graduated from High School :)
Her ceremony was at a different location because of having over 400 students, so I had to find a parking spot.......far, far away.....my movement for today = walking & climbing bleachers ;)

[Sinful]

I ran a 1.5 mile today, .5 more then yesterday and getting closer to my goal of 5k.

I've been wanting to do workout video, I have 30 Day Shred and Slim in Six, has anyone tried these? I've tried both but I don't know what would help more.

Who knows though, Best of luck to everyone!

That is one of my favorite ones - lol :p - it is a lot of repetition though....:rolleyes: - maybe I just like it because I can "do it" - instead of having to teach it......;)

[revdrcyn]

Today was a day off as far as working out - back at it Monday!

[Stella Green]

well, I'm starting late, but I just have to post! I started on the raw diet a little under a month ago and I've noticed *some* improvement, although now I think to get rid of this belly bulge I really have to get moving on the exercise! I think I just needed to give myself time to adjust...I really didn't think I'd have enough energy to do exercise, ha ha. Now I know better, and I have no more excuses. Of course now it does some easier to eat as opposed to working up a sweat, so I'm so glad that I am making the commitment to post every day! I'm seeing some friends in the beginning of August, so my goal is to do some type of exercise every day (yoga on rest days) and I'll give you the results August 1. The goal is to get rid of the belly bulge...but also just to get motivated and develop a daily exercise routine.

Also, I'm going to be doing DVDs all summer because I'm in Phoenix and it is sssssizzling hot out there! Anyway, I'm going to do Jillian Michaels right this minute, and I'm going to do the whole thing even though half-way through I want to die. Afterwards I'll have some blackberries as a treat and even though it's a little late I want to continue on my art project at least for one hour. how's THAT for an ambitious beginning!!

Great job! So, are you liking P90X?

It is fantastic! I am already at a high level of fitness, having trained consistently for over 30 years - but this is just amazing - really gets my heart rate up and the day-to-day variety is just what I needed.

Oh, and I am learning to love Yoga . . .

[Green_Woman]

I'm still moooving, moooving... I just haven't been posting! Been busy working on my Dauntless Diva website, taking Revvell's Fitness class, working from home, keeping meals on the table (he buys um, I make um... :D ), walk fur babies, and house hunting.

There's A LOT of movement in there. :D

3-4 daily walks, Yoga on occasion (getting back slowly, but I'm LAZY by the time evening hits!), and once a week Revvell's 1.25 hr long fitness class -- I'm also doing Ecstatic Dance at home a few days a week. :D

[revdrcyn]

P90X Legs and Back :cool:

[revdrcyn]

P90X Kenpo X - my legs are really wobbly :o

[revdrcyn]

P90X Core Synergystics - started week 3 today!

[Revvell]

Missing in action here.

Began my fitness class a few weeks ago and having fun with that.

Taking one movement from the Daily Dozen 1 series and doing 100 reps of one movement, daily plus, whatever else I feel to do ~ Indian Clubs, rebounding, the rest of the Daily Dozen moves, of course. Balancing moves, using my Bosu.... swinging mace, Iron clubs, Bulgarian training bag. Also, go to a class EVERY Monday evening. Quite intense it is. 90 minutes of movement!

Looking into Zumba. Found one at the times I want to go at a VERY reasonable fee. Going for first class next Wed. If I like it, that will be 2-3 times a week.
