Not a great day today... Woke up with a cold.... Didn't consume too many calories, but I haven't done any exercise today... I will be heading to bed soon.... hopefully I will feel up to exercising tomorrow.

I did 40 minutes of active games. I did 100 jumping jacks. I did 4 sets of 20 of each ofthe strength excrises with mountain climbers 20 each for 1 and 2 leg.

**Cameronjr** · 02-08-2012, 08:09 PM

Alright, so today i did all my sets of pushups/situps/squats all at once.

I worked out at the gym and did 25 mins of cardio, and also did bench press, dumbell's, as well as stretches and such.

Guarantee that i will be sore tommorrow morning.

I bought a bunch of winter gear last week so I can still ride my bike in the cold. Took it all out for a spin today for an hour. Really brutal ride but it felt great. I have a bike trainer for indoor riding but I just can't get into it.

Insanity cardio recovery workout sounds easy but given the fact that it's Insanity I'm talking about, odds are that it's not. T minus 20 mins.

May the Force be with you.

**surrealx** · 02-09-2012, 09:41 AM

I'll go with Cardio!

Did that one last Friday. It was a nice change of pace. It's alot of stretching and yoga type poses. I was actually pretty sore the next day.

Yesterday was the Insanity Cardio Circuit for me.

I'm still sugar-free and having no problem avoiding it, I might go longer than the week!

I was able to meet my strength training goal. Plan to keep doing this through week 2. I will however try to increase to the week 2 strength training goal and add in watching my portion sizes. Turns out that free technology seems to be a good motivator for me!!!

In the interest of full disclosure...I missed one day (Saturday) it was just too busy with our kids activities and all. I think we were allowed one miss. However, I did notice that I missed doing it. I have figured out that strength training wakes me up and kind of gives me a bit of a spring in my step.

Also yesterday and today I had to drop down to one set of squats as my knee is getting a bit sore. Old injury. I think I am going to try and just do the squats every other day to see if the soreness gets better.

Thanks again for the motivation and a push to get started!!!

So it seems as if I may have started week 2 a little early as I went by the week, but nonetheless, I am still drinking a crap ton of wter and not drinking any soda aside from the 1 Diet Dr. Pepper that I had.
I am still doing my 2 sets of 10 pushups and crunches a day with now 20 minutes of calestenics.
Feeling great!!!!

**babyjsmom** · 02-09-2012, 02:19 PM

Week one down and I have lost 5 pounds with not sodas, fast food and cardio each day. Ya, can't wait for next weeks weigh in.

**Paul** · 02-09-2012, 02:28 PM

CARDIO: I will try to continue to play racquetball three times a week Mon., Wed. & Friday from 05:30AM-06:30AM before going to work. I will also once again try and ween myself off of coffee.

Anybody know of a good/great racquetball app for iOS or aOS?

I am excited to say that week one was a sucess. First few days were rough and I am sure my coworkers and roomate could tell I was more irritable. Keeping a food log was the key to accomplishing week ones goals. I am amazed how many calories and fat grams I consumed in a day. I already feel thiner and my pants are loose.

Week 2 (Feb 9-15) - Cardio Training
Goals
*Perform 30min of Cardio 4 Times This week.

**Cameronjr** · 02-09-2012, 05:51 PM

Did another biking sesh today of about half an hour, Also did my 10 pushups/situps/squats but instead of 2 sets I did 3 sets this morning. Also, i havnt had any sugary drinks again.

**wiggy1** · 02-09-2012, 09:15 PM

I am going to try commutting on my bike once a week (weather permitting for the 6 miles each way) and visit the gym twice a week. Week one (1 Feb - 4 Feb), I visited the gym twice for running and was able to go out for a trail ride, but weather wasn't good for commutting. We are almost at the end of week two (by the work week) and I was able to commute in three times this week (temps averaged 35 degrees

) and made it to the gym twice. I am hitting the gym with a coworker and we added a core workout to help with our biking. I would like to think I am helping him meet his weight loss goal of 30 pounds by Spring, but he is helping me stay on track with frequency. Our ultimate goal is to do the 100+ miles of cross country mountain bike trails in Burk, Vermont in June. We (my office mate and I) feel this is helping us be motivated to make that goal.

**decarlo4** · 02-09-2012, 11:25 PM

Still on track with my strength training. Did Pilates today which focused on the core and biceps tonight.

I better start off with the nutrition. Tiny steps.

**sector107** · 02-10-2012, 05:00 AM

The first step to a healthy life style is sacrifice. Insanity Cardio power and resistance in T minus 10 minutes.

May the Force be with you.
