I did 45 minutes on the treadmill this morning. That's about 2 miles. I'm splitting it with my The Firm DVDs this evening. That will be mostly upper torso, arm and shoulder work.

1. Good thing I worked out this morning

45 mins treadmill, 10% incline... about 10-15 mins strength training.. took it easy today as I woke up with a massive headache.

Have 45 min Tae Kwon Do class this evening, but I turned my ankle this morning, so I might have to skip a good part of it. Doggone it! I keep doing stupid stuff just before belt tests - I'm testing on Friday... geesh.

3. Today....

WATP Power Mile twice in succession, about 30 minutes

I also did weight lifting this morning, doing exercises for chest, shoulders, biceps and triceps (4 sets of each exercise, alternating high reps/low weight with lower reps/heavier weights). About 40 minutes.

I did stretching/flexibility exercises in between sets.

8. Walk Away The Pounds by Leslie Sansone.

It's an in-home aerobic walking program. The Power Mile is a vigorous 15-minute mile. I also have programs that incorporate the use of weights doing one, two or three miles; a four-mile super challenge; interval training with a Walk & Jog; and interval training with walking/kickboxing. I try to do a minimum of two miles per day, seven days a week, alternating my use of the programs for variety. Tomorrow I'm either going to do a three- or four-mile walk OR go to the gym and do 45-60 minutes on the elliptical or treadmill.

4. 30 min. Cardio at 75%-85% and upper body.

This working upper body one day and lower another day is very new to me. I don't know if it's enough. With my upper body weight exercises I did sets of 12, 10, 8, 6, 12.

5. supernova, this is great...thanks for the threads.

I'll be posting starting tomorrow...my hip hop class. (my teenage daughter talked me into it, promising that there were "lots of old people there")...I'm a forty something among teens,(no "old" people except me in sight) and just trying to hold my own. It's great motivation for working out between classes, though. MKJ
