The past few days have been a struggle and I did not exercise AT ALL for 2 of those 3 days. (Yesterday I managed to take a quick 20 minute walk outside).
I am feeling better today though and just completed a 5k walk with Leslie Sansone. It includes three 2 minute "bursts" of quicker activity...and today I ramped it up a bit. Instead of Leslie's bursts of light jogging and bouncing kicks, I changed it to jumping jacks and high knees. Definitely felt it in my calves, and got a nice sweat going! ![]() Happy exercising! ![]() |

Keep up the great work Blue_Bird!
![]() ![]() Today I did a 2 mile walk with Leslie Sansone and a 15 minute pilates workout with FitnessBlender. Yesterday I did a quick 20 minute walk outdoors. Feels good to get the body moving. ![]() |

I have been a bit busy with my job, but get good amounts of walking done on days that I work (the job is stocking various items at a large store, so I'm constantly walking).
Today I began a 5 day challenge from FitnessBlender, it's intense! ![]() Day 1: Day 2: Day 3: Day 4: Day 5: Anyone can feel free to join me, I'd love the company. ![]() |

I want to motivate myself to do this so bad but I have trouble because it takes so long to get into shape
![]() I'm not overweight but I'm still a bit on the chubby side and I have a lot of stretch marks on my body from back when I was overweight as a child which make me feel worthless and ugly lol. I want to do something about it but I don't know how to motivate myself because I find most of the physical exercises that I've done so freaking boring. How do you motivate yourself to put the work in for this among all of your other issues? Because I always end up either putting in 1-2 weeks worth of exercise and giving up when I don't see any noticeable changes in my body or outright put it off all together. |

Today will be a break day from intense exercise, because my legs are still quite sore from the Day 1 workout a couple days ago. Ouch!
![]() I have gotten in quite a bit of walking though, thanks to my new job. I have done about 13.5k steps so far, and I may do an easy Leslie Sansone walk later to loosen up my legs a bit more. Intense exercise is good for you...but the post workout muscle soreness. Yikes! Climbing stairs hurts...sitting on the toilet hurts. ![]() |

Today I did about 50 minutes of walking total, plus Day 3 of the FitnessBlender challenge. Today's focus was on HIIT and abs - I got a very good sweat going!

Yesterday I took a complete break from exercise and gave my body a rest.
![]() Today I've started another 5 day challenge from FitnessBlender. It is a challenge for busy people (similar to the previous 5 day challenge I completed, except these workouts are closer to 30 minutes long rather than closer to an hour). I am not a busy person, I'll be honest. ![]() ![]() Day 1 - Day 2 - Day 3 - Day 4 - Day 5 - |

Just finished Day 2, which focused on cardio and upper body. It was definitely easier than yesterday, but my arms are nice and sore.

Yesterday I didn't do an actual workout, but I did manage around 12k steps total.
![]() Today I took a 20 minute walk outdoors and also did Day 3 of the 5 day challenge for busy people. This workout focused on HIIT and abs. It was definitely harder than Day 2 and I got a better sweat from it, but Day 1 has still been the hardest of this challenge. |

Today I got 11.6k steps total, plus did Day 4 of the FitnessBlender challenge for busy people. Day 4 was definitely the easiest one of this challenge thus far, it was a combination of upper body strength and yoga. I got a bit of a sweat but not much, although I felt tired before working out and now I feel more energized. Looks like I won't be taking that nap after all.

Today I did Day 5 of the challenge. The focus was on HIIT and lower body. It was a good workout but I barely broke a sweat which is odd to me. There were so many lunge varieties, ouch! D: My legs will feel this tomorrow, that's for sure.

On Friday I didn't do any working out aside from walking steps at work, which was over 10k steps for sure.
Saturday and Sunday were a struggle for me emotionally - I didn't do any exercise. Trying not to beat myself up about it. Today was a much better day, and I reached 15k steps total. No additional workouts...but I'd like to get back to working out tomorrow. I always feel better after I get moving. |

I have been quite lazy lately and neglecting exercise aside from walking at work. Today I hit over 12k steps.

Today I bought a 4 week workout program from FitnessBlender called FBSweat.
![]() The program is interesting in that they give you options each day (5 days a week, optional workout on the 6th day, rest day on the 7th) to either workout for around 30 minutes, or tackle an extra workout to add up to around 50 minutes. I'm glad this is an option because on some days I feel lazier than others. ![]() I start this program tomorrow morning, looking forward to it! ![]() |

Completed Day 1 of the program today, with the focus being largely on the lower body. I was definitely pooped afterwards!

Today I walked outdoors about 45 minutes total (walking to an appointment and then back home). It felt nice to be moving again. Aside from work, I have been quite lazy with exercise these past few days.
![]() I went to the clinic today and got weighed...129lbs. That's pretty good for a height of 5'7, I was worried that I had perhaps gained weight but I actually lost a pound since last time so that's good. ![]() |

Just completed a 3 mile walk/dance workout from superherofitnesstv. They have a lot of cool looking dance workouts but since I have 2 left feet I haven't done any of the advanced ones...but despite this just being a "walk" it was still quite challenging! I had my ceiling fan on the whole time and it is quite difficult for me to break a sweat when it's going...and I managed to get in a good sweat regardless.
![]() I'll probably post my step count later today as well. Since it's a work day I'll get a good number of steps in. ![]() |
