Howdy! I’m Lisa, I just joined. I found out about this program through another board I post at. I’ve been exercising regularly now for a month and thought this will be interesting and motivating for me to start. My routine is this:
Mon, Wed, Fri, : Cardio, I do approximately 1.66 - 1.75 miles in approximately 35 minutes depending on what my personal trainer (I use an online program designed for mp3 players) has me doing.
Tue, Thur, Sat, : Strength training (once again, it’s a program designed for me) Thursdays is light strength training just focusing on core and usually lasts approximately 15 minutes. This is good because Thursdays are my busiest days.
My goal is to lose weight to become healthy, I’ve lost 60 lbs so far and have about 65-70 more to go. I’ve stalled and am really trying to amp things up.
My health issues are high blood pressure, asthma, bad knees, and depression. I’ve learned that if I take the right combo of vitamins and minerals, my depression meds work much better for me. My knees are not so bad that I can’t walk a good distance, but running is completely out of the question for me at this time. I’m not ruling it out, but I am also being realistic. I also have the emergency medical tech mentality that you never run unless: a) a bear is chasing you or b) a guy with a gun is chasing you. I can walk rather quickly though.
So, here goes.... I’m actually off the gym for a good hours worth of strength training that makes me feel really good afterwards.
Lisa
