workout goals for the week
Anyone want to join me in setting exercise goals on Monday and checking in on Friday? DH challenged me to run in a 5k with him next week and I need to get off my butt and run if I don't want to die in the middle of it. My run on Saturday did not go so well.
If this helps we can make it a weekly thing. Let's see how it goes.
My current fitness status: Took a few months off from regular exercise and really need to get back into it. I'm 5 lbs over my goal weight but more than that I just feel unhealthy.
My goals for the week: Run on treadmill for 30+ minutes at least 3 times before Friday. Do 10 minute ab workouts at least 3 times before Friday.
How I will reach my goals: Head straight to the gym after getting home from work. No sitting on the couch!
Re: workout goals for the week
Sure, that sounds good to me! I don't know if I have goals for each week besides just making sure I do something at least a couple of times a week. The Friday check-ins will help keep me honest and motivated!
I'm taking it a little easy this week though because I tweaked my ankle over the weekend so I need to give it time to heal. Look at me, making excuses before we even start!
Ouch! I hope it was just a little tweak.
I'm just setting goals so I'll feel accountable. I hope it works!
My current fitness status: I am sad to admit that I am 30lbs over my goal weight and that is being conservative
I had worked out in the past but with all of our moving in the last 3 years I never found a good gym to stick with, thus the weight piled on, add to that I had some medical issues that caused even more weight gain.
My goals: about three weeks ago we joined the Y and I LOVE it there. I was on the swim team in HS and college and used to swim over 5 miles a day. So I have been hitting the pool and doing about 2 miles and running about 3 miles on the elliptical everyday (Mon.-Fri. and sometimes on the weekend) and I try to do weights everyday, varying the muscle groups worked. I really want to shed these 30lbs over my goal weight.
Haha, this is the 3rd board now where we're doing something like this.... the more the merrier, right? And the more accountable I am..
My current fitness status: I was trying to lose weight for the wedding, was doing all right for a while, then the month before the stress killed me. And don't even ask me about the HM... I'm back to where I was weight-wise well before we even got engaged.
My goals for the week: Go to the gym. Even if it's even once or twice this week, just going is an improvement over what it was in the past.
How I will reach my goals: Going to the gym in the morning is the best bet. There's nothing else going on other than sleeping, and it's only an hour earlier. That way I don't have an excuse NOT to go when I get home from work...
I am currently signed up to run/walk a 5k December 5th with a friends.
My goal: To start training.
