Re: abs&glutes/mighty 100 challenges

[Guest guest]

Well then count me in. As for Tony's workouts...I honestly don't remember

em...LMAO - it has been a LONG time.

So when does this start? If we only do this once a week, how do we reach 100 if

there are only 52 weeks in the year?

As you can see I am tad confused. I did go to the group home to read the

original message but cannot find it.

Thanks!

RE: abs & glutes/mighty 100 challenges

sounds awesome trish!!! im glad that you will be joining us. heck we just

want to get our guts and butts together... we dont care if tony gets in on

the act although we had better not tell billy...LOL... im afraid that

billy might kick tonys a$$... LOL... j/k. so tell me how tony little is to

workout with.... ive never seen any of his workouts but he seems like a

nice and hyper dude in his commercials. what does his ab/glute/thigh system

consist of? just what i need... to hear about more workouts! just like i

will never be able to read all of the books that i want to before i die, i

wont be able to try as many workouts as id like ...but i hope to die

trying

oops... sorry to be confusing.

there are two challenges...

1. mighty 100

2. wednesday abs & glutes

the mighty 100 helps us to focus on and feel positive about the workouts we

are doing (instead of feeling negative about the workouts we might not do

workouts can be tae-bo or anything we want. we count until 100 and it is

fun to urge each other on and it is interesting, personally, to see how long

it takes us to complete the challenge. gives us a goal to work for.

certainly not a competition... everyone finishes at different times as they

follow their own workout schedules. just another idea for motivation. it

starts whenever you would like it start i think though that i will count

workout days and not individual workouts as some of the time i do two a day

(taebo or weights followed by pilates or a 30 min stretching tape).

abs & glutes work is a challenge for every wednesday and of course counts as

a workout in the mighty 100

while every move in tae-bo involves our abs and of course the kicks involve

our butt, we still think that it is important to do some additional

concentrated work on those areas. we dont aim to do 100 wednesday

challenges in a row but as many as we wish to do... the challenge is really

an attempt to get us into the habit of concentrating on our guts and butts

for at least one workout a week. join in whenever you like... i think that

some of us will start january 1st (which might get pushed up to jan 2nd due

to the holiday).

i have another challenge in mind (it concerns water...ugh!) but i think that

these two will be enough

Count me in for both challenges starting the 1st As for water, I already

drink 10-15 cups a day, no challenge there and my Dr. made me stop drinking more

than that, as my uric acid levels went through the roof and I'm on meds for it

now.

I love water too. Years ago I prayed for a desire for water. Before that I

hated water. Now I have to force myself to stop drinking it. Needless to say,

my prayers were answered. I love Aquafina water most. I drink about 48 ounces

during an Advanced workout and then as much as 8 more glasses during the day.

haha. I think I probably drink about 8-11 cups a day.

I will probbly join sooner or later, but right now I think if I did floorwork

I'd break down bawling!! I had AL5 conquered before getting pregnant. If I

tried it now, it would just depress me..... Hope ya understand

Hi guys... Sorry I've been MIA. Holidays had me crazy ( & LAZY). I'm back &

I think if I do the get ripped pink box with the floorwork, that'll count for

abs & glutes for now?? So count me in for that one. Also, I'm going to get

back on track tonight (if my back cooperates... I don't know what I did...

picked the baby up wrong or something but ouch!!) If it doesn't, I'll just

do as much as I can without killing myself So I'm in for the mighty 100

too. (Hope I'm not getting too late of a start).

I checked the scale this morning... I shouldn't have. I GAINED 3 lbs!! I

took a few days off tae bo & I didn't eat as well as I had been eating, but I

didn't eat THAT bad I didn't think. Part of me is hoping it's just muscle

gain & it's going to start burning the fat soon. Anytime now would be

great...lol

More motivation to get back on track tonight I guess. Hope everyone had a

nice holiday

Thanks I'm going to promise myself to stay off the scale until Feb.

Maybe until Valentine's Day.

I stretched a little this morning (when I went to get out of bed & said

OOHHH!!...lol) & I've been doing housework all morning & it seems to be

loosening up on me.

I was just reading an aol weight loss board & someone mentioned working out

in the AM was better for her because it boosted her metabolism. I hadn't

even thought of that. Is there a time of day that's better to work out?

I'm thinking maybe I could do some time on the bike in the AM (since I don't

need to shower right after that as much as I would tae bo & also because if

the baby needs me, it might not be as hard to quit in the middle as it would

tae bo) Then keep with the tae bo at night.

I wonder if it makes a difference when we work out?

Interesting question. I don't know. I would have to think it does not

really matter, but that is just my fun guess. I better keep hoping my fun

guess is correct cause I don't think I'll ever be able to workout in the

mornings.

hi jenn!

there you are!

sure, any workout with abs & glutes work in it certainly counts for the

wednesday challenge.

sorry to hear about your back! dont stress it... take care of it.

perhaps some nice back stretches will help.

throw that darned scale out, already!!!

anyway welcome back to tae-bo and to the 100 and abs & glutes challenges!!

Well, for those of us that don't like working out in the morning, I don't

think working out in the morning could ever be more beneficial, because our

hearts and mind would not be as into it, as they are later in the day.

Probably very true. Although I'm sure if I got into a routine, I might be

alright. I might eventually try to work up to morning workouts... I just

don't ever feel like moving in the morning right now

I'm sure anytime is better than none Tomorrow it'll have to be a morning

workout if I want to get one in at all tomorrow. We'll see if it's as bad as

I've told myself it is...lol

Tae Bo isn't something I hate, that sounded wrong. ha. I'm not a morning

person I don't think. Although I do enjoy breakfast and Formula 1 as early

as 4am 3 days in a row.

But normally when I wakeup in the morning I'm thinking " oh...many chores to

do " and if I thought " I have to squeeze Tae Bo in " I would probably dread

going to bed.

As you guys may have noticed, I have been doing some of my workouts earlier

in the day (late afternoon). It is a nice change. It is hard to workout at

10 or 11 after I have already gotten quiet and restful, etc. But the 10 or

11 area is probably where a lot of my workouts will still come from.

I used to workout in the afternoon when my daughter was napping. Now that

she's in school and I am off to work, I workout in the morning. I wake at 6

am....drink coffee (1-2 cups) for about an hour and then workout from 7 to

7:30. Then I can hit the shower and start my day. I always have soo much

more energy at work if I workout in the morning before I go.

Caroline, who doesn't want to take Sunday off from working out...man I got

the taebo bug baaaad!
