Let's get out there kick, punch, run, ride your bike. Whatever you do martial arts workout, skiing, run a marathon. Start small even 20 minutes a day at first will do it. Let's make a goal to get to 45 minutes of cardio 3 times per week in 2010.

Anyone Can Do This!

I know how it is! I went through a period that was exceptionally stressful and difficult. I didn’t workout like I had, and I slowly but surely got out of shape and gained a bunch of weight. In January 2009 I made a life changing decision---take care of myself, and get back into my workouts! Within 9 months I lost 50 pounds!! And regained my muscle tone, and built myself up emotionally! My energy is high again; I am feeling great about my life, and I am committed to helping others get this feeling for themselves!

I continued and kept my goals going through 2009 and I am currently working on my 2010 goals. When I initially "restarted" my workouts making it through 20 minutes of cardio was exceptionally difficult. With a little determination I was able to build myself back up again. Now I can run 7.5 (1 hour and 10 mins of cardio) miles a day, ride my bike 30 miles (2.5 hours of cardio), and do an intensive martial arts (45-60 mins). Let's do this thing in 2010; make ourselves in the best shape of our lives!

Krista--way to push on the workout... 7 miles is great even when you're not sick. (Bet it will help you get well faster.)
OK, I did 6 cardio workouts in total this week: 3 martial arts classes; 2 45 minute speed walking sessions; 1 25 minute elliptical session.

I have been sick so I'm slacking in my workouts but today I pushed through and ran 7 miles. It was hard but I did it!! Hope everyone is keeping on track for their new years' goals.

Krista-Wow! 50 lbs? I saw you in street clothes awhile back thought you were in great shape you were in. I am use to seeing you in the ghee(?) so I just assumed that was how you always looked. I am inspired! 2010 here I come!! Cardio will have to start tomorrow though:(

12/27: my goal is to be sure I workout at least 5x a week. biking/speed walking/martial arts/yoga/elliptical/hiking. My goal is to build up my endurance. I still get winded too easily. Staying active makes a HUGE difference in my mood: I feel happier, less stressed, and sleep so much better. And, in parallel, am trying to drink lots more water. That helps hugely too.
