Becoming an Athlete!
- Thread starter chutzpah
- Start date
all is still going well. Last weekend was particulary hard for me; I took two days off instead of one and ate a few things I was not supposed to. Yesterday I did all three levels of the Biggest Loser Cardio Max DVD and I'm sore today! It actually feels great to be a little bit sore. Today I hope to do Jillian's No More Trouble Zones DVD and also go to the gym tonight to do cardio.
I'm running a marathon in December. I begin a training course in August and I must say I'm a bit nervous. So this 40 day challenge is turning into "a getting myself in the best shape possible so I can start marathon training challenge."
I'm trying to become more vigilant about taking vitamins and supplements. I'm seeing a lot of changes in my body, but I really wish my stomach would just get flat already
My goal is to do one exercise video per day that makes me feel like I'm going to die, and an additional lower impact, yoga, stretching, or callenetics video, or gym. Basically I have some free time now and I'd like to devote two hours a day to improving my cardio, strength, and flexibility. This is going to be a real challenge but I feel like I've been building up to this and it won't be overtraining.

So far so good with the exercising. I'm not having the best success with dieting, but I'm not doing horribly. I'm still aiming for the two activities per day goal: one activity which really pushes my limits with cardio or strength training, and doing a flexibility or toning video in the evenings. I succeed about 50 percent of the time with two videos, and 95+ percent of the time with 1. not bad but still leaves room for improvement...
I'm still trying to finalize a training schedule right now and am experimenting a lot with diet and different forms of exercise. One new experiment I'm trying is adding callenetics to my routine. I have the DVDs "Ten years younger in ten hours" and "super callenetics" and I'm going to work on completing 10 hours of this type of exercise.

My 40-day challenge didn't work out. I went to Vegas for a few days and got side-tracked. Since then I'm still exercising just about every day, but the dieting has been a challenge. I did buy a swimsuit though, and felt great in it (but it was a one piece vintagey type garment)
What I've been doing that has helped immensely is Callanetics. My current goal is to finish 10 hours of Callanetics (I've done several hours of Callanetics already, but I haven't been keeping track) and keeping up the cardio. Callanetics is the only thing that seems to help get my stomach flatter. I'm going to try to post here more often to keep my motivation up.
