I'm doing "look great in eight" rotation, but I have added my own stuff to it too. The camping sounds fun. We've talked about doing it, but have yet to do it. We never go anywhere or do anything. We are in such a rutt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted August 1, 2006 Report Share Posted August 1, 2006 I'll join you! It's still high 90s here but surely I can stand to do something every day. I've had the same inconsistency problem due to the heat and not wanting to drown in sweat by doing workouts in the hot house or the hot outdoors. LOL Yesterday I took my dog for a very leisurely walk (for HIS sake, more than mine) but I figured that was better than nothing. I'm back at work today so I'm spending all day in far-too-cold air conditioning and maybe if I work out as soon as I get home, when the heat is comfortable instead of oppressive while I'm warming back up, I can manage something more strenuous. every day in august ? hi everyone!hey, it is august 1st! time to start our new rotations and shoot for some new goals!what is everyone's plan for august?i am actually contemplating starting a new challenge.... a workout (of some kind) every single day in august :Owhat do you think? would anyone like to join me in this challenge and post our activity each day?im going to do it, dang it! my biggest complaint about july was not the workouts i did (i did some really good ones!) but inconsistency. (note that when i take the family camping, then i consider that to be 2 workouts! packing up, loading the truck, unloading and unpacking/setting up the tent/air mattresses, etc around the campsite, then doing it all over again to come home the next day.... this can be quite strenuous as i normally let my dh sit around while i do all of this stuff -- we will be camping at least one weekend this month).also i have a new daily fitness journal page that i designed for use each day... if anyone is interested, i will post it to the files section of this group. (it is in excel).:*carolyn. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 1, 2006 Report Share Posted August 1, 2006 Hi! I'd like to join in, except at the end of August, we're on vacation again so I'm sure I'll fall off the wagon, but I'll keep up until then!! July was a slow month for me exercise-wise, too and although I'm doing more workouts now, I'm struggling to convince myself to do them. And, Carolyn - I'd love to see your fitness page I've been wanting to find something for me but I haven't been very successful. S ounds like you had the right idea by creating your own! - what is " look great in eight " ? I've missed posting more, I've just been SOOOO busy with summer activties, work and etc. Take care!

Guest guest Posted August 1, 2006 Report Share Posted August 1, 2006 I would absolutely be game.

Guest guest Posted August 2, 2006 Report Share Posted August 2, 2006 That sounds great, Stacey! I don't run, but I can see following this using my cardio tapes 4 days per week with strength and circuits mixed in. Thanks for sharing!

Guest guest Posted August 2, 2006 Report Share Posted August 2, 2006 Since we're all talking about our August plans, here's mine. I'm turning up the intensity on my taekwondo training because I am testing for my 3rd degree black belt on October 1. However, I'm going on vacation August 6-13. Unlike previous vacations, though, I will be taking my bicycle along this year so that at least I get some exercise and I'm not totally out of shape when I get back. (I figure a daily bike ride to Starbucks sounds like a fair trade, right?) Then when I get back it's going to be six days a week of working out and six days of healthy eating (although I might make one exception right after we get back because I'll have a bachelor weekend in there). Then from mid-August through the end of September I plan to do my usual workouts plus as many taekwondo classes and individual training as I can do. Less than two months until the big day! Good luck to you all with your plans! > > hi everyone! > hey, it is august 1st! time to start our new rotations and shoot for > some new goals! > what is everyone's plan for august? > > i am actually contemplating starting a new challenge.... a workout > (of some kind) every single day in august > what do you think? would anyone like to join me in this challenge > and post our activity each day? > > im going to do it, dang it! my biggest complaint about july was not > the workouts i did (i did some really good ones!) but inconsistency. > (note that when i take the family camping, then i consider that to > be 2 workouts! packing up, loading the truck, unloading and > unpacking/setting up the tent/air mattresses, etc around the > campsite, then doing it all over again to come home the next day.... > this can be quite strenuous as i normally let my dh sit around while > i do all of this stuff -- we will be camping at least one weekend > this month). > > also i have a new daily fitness journal page that i designed for use > each day... if anyone is interested, i will post it to the files > section of this group.
