ouch.


i've been changing up my workout routine a bit thanks in part to some encouragement from my fitness crazed husband and my boredom with what i've been doing.

i mean how many times can i watch beyonce shake her goodies on VH1 while mindlessly going in circles on the stupid elliptical machine?

gah!

so i've branched out a bit and introduced spin, weight training and cardio circuit into my regimen.

now my body hurts.

seriously.

bad.

i guess that's a good thing, right?

now, if i could just get a handle on my calorie consumption, i might actually see some real results.

what's your favorite way to get sweaty?

{keep it clean folks, this is a family blog after all}!

Hey Jill, sorry...I'm also in need of some new workout ideas! The only thing I ever do is walk on the treadmill and I dont think its working because I seem to be getting fatter! Anyway, why do u even workout? If I was as naturally skinny as you I would sit on the couch and eat chocolate all day! I will be checking back for some new workout ideas!

Hey Jill,

First off, if I had your body I'd never worry about calories or workouts. However, since I can look at a donut and gain 5 pounds, current favorite is running. Of course there are funner ways to work up a sweat and I like that too. ;)

mel + jess: fortunately i do have good genetics and a fast metabolism on my side. and THANK HEAVENS for that since i sorely lack discipline when it comes to my diet. i guess my main goal for working out is to feel as strong and healthy as i can!

Zumba all the way! I use to dread working out, but since I have found Zumba and got a gym membership, I actually look forward to going. On days when I really want to get sweaty, I run, which is okay, but not near as fun as shaking my booty at Zumba.

I always hate that anticipation of working out, but always love the feeling after I finish a good workout! Favorite as of lately Turbo Jam, I'm just a little obsessed with it.

Nat: where do you go to do zumba? i wanna come! i took syd to the kids zumba class at d. palms this week and it looked like so much fun! let me know!

julie: oh, i'm right there with you. when my alarm goes off at 5:35am, i think of every excuse to just turn it off and stay in my warm bed. but it does feel good to just do it and be glad you did!

I have been running, only because I'm accountable for this blogger relay race I'm running in May. But it really does shape my body in a way nothing else does...

allison: hey! nice to hear from you again...it's been a while :) running a relay race eh? proud of ya! i must say, running is near the bottom for me...ugh. i've always admired runners, i'm just not sure it's my thing! so, when's the race?
