Pretty amazing, considering that I'm very uncoordinated. The trainer does a great job of generating routines that combine various levels of dance and boxing routines. Doesn't seem like I ever get the same combination of routines twice.

Way to go! That Cardio Dance sounds like a lot of fun. It may arrive here before Christmas!

I was a slug again today, though I did do quite a bit of walking. I'm going to do some kind of fitness something when I get home from work tomorrow. Hoping it won't be too long til I can do upper body stuff, too.

Now my thumb is numb, as is the back of my hand. Hopefully this will help. At least for a while I have an excuse not to carry stuff.

He liked my Duke Law shirt (I researched him online and saw he had 2 Duke degrees and had done his orthopedic residency at Duke as well.)

Really? Who is he?

Charles Taft.

I don't know him. He was 20 years ahead of me at Duke.

My exercise today consisted of walking and Wii Fit Plus activities. I'm getting hooked on Wii Fit Plus again - several cool games that are basically the equivalent of running in place.

Good job!

I exercised an hour on Friday on Cardio Workout and My Fitness Coach (which I've gotten back into) and mowed the front yard yesterday for an hour of exercise, and did Cardio Workout as well. Today I walked quite a bit.

I talked to a lady at church who race-walked the NYC Marathon at 65 (SIXTY-FIVE!) so there's hope for me yet, though I don't think I'm in line for the NYC Marathon.

Good for you!

Almost forgot: I also played a game of Wii tennis. I'm up to level 1710 now.

Well I'm inspired by all you people who are exercising, so I'm getting into it. Mrs. DU have bought P90X and are going to do it. It's supposed to be ridiculously hard and will surely kick my butt. But I need to do something to get into shape.

See I'm trying to get my weight up before I start next Monday (the DVDs will arrive late this week) so that I can have a better starting point. This way I can lose MORE weight to get down to where I want to be and by losing MORE weight I'll feel better about myself.

Let me know what you and Mrs. DU think of it. I only know one other female who tried it, and she said she couldn't sit down for days, but I'd be willing to give it a shot if it won't incapacitate me.

My sorry butt made it to the gym! The treadmills were all taken when I got there, but I did 15 minutes on the elliptical and 10 minutes (5 running, 5 walking) when I did get a treadmill, plus 10 minutes on the stationary bike. I thought I was under time pressure so I quit early to make a stop at CVS. If I'd known it was a night to sell Infiniti's, I'd have stayed at the gym longer.

I was happy with my progress on the elliptical. The last time I was on one at the gym here, I struggled to make a 15 minute mile. Today, I made a 13 minute mile. Must've been the Duke shorts.

Goooooooo CTN workout fiends!!!! I made it Curves all three times last week and am off to a good start this week, but will not be able make it Wednesday since I'm working in Hertford which is practically in Virginia and three hours each way Oh well. I do what I can, when I can!! As I said on Facebook, Go to Hell fat!!!

Congrats on the progress! All your hard work is starting to pay.

Good job DukePA! Go to hell fat!

Since you can't make it to Curves on Wednesday, can you go another day? When I was a Curves member, I had to keep my workout days pretty flexible in order to get in 3 days/week. I know they recommend a recovery day between workouts, but sometimes that's just not possible.

It was a gorgeous day today, so I did lots of walking outside. On 2 occasions I took a break from my computer screen and walked around the block. By the time I got home, I was already at 4 dots (over 2/3 of my exercise target of 954 calories). I reached the goal through a combo of Wii tennis, Wii Fit Plus, and jogging in place.

Way to go, AD!

I missed out on the morning trek with the due to the monsoon that blew through, but maybe I can make it up to them with a mile before bedtime.

I did about 20 minutes of Cardio Workout (the workout it set up for me today, which was shorter than normal), and followed it up with 30 minutes of My Fitness Coach upper body. I used the hand weights for all the upper body stuff. Merlin kept licking my nose when I tried to do crunches, but other than that the exercise went well.

Thanks, yall, for giving me motivation. I've had a tough day (it would've been my Dad's birthday and I miss him dreadfully) and really just wanted to come home and sleep til tomorrow, but I told myself I would feel better if I could tell my buds on CTN that I'd exercised, and they would cheer me up (which has already happened).

Sorry you had a tough day. Sending vibes.

A storm blew through early this morning, and the temperature dropped throughout the day. It was warmer when I left for work than it was at noon. With that being said, I still walked a couple of laps outside today.

My exercise today consisted of lots of walking, about 20 min of jogging in place (Wii Fit Plus), a game of Wii tennis (beat the level 2000 players in straight sets!), and a brief bit of cardio workout.
