I'm loving the diet thread so much I thought a separate thread for how we're staying or getting physically fit might be fun too!
Did anyone else sign up for this when they had it on Groupon? I'm kinda terrified of it, but glad I signed up for a later session so I have until the end of June to get tougher, lol.

I think about resuming smoking daily :)
ETA: Yay, Snarf! That's progress, haha. I wondered if being a man of leisure would affect the waistline. Though I always thought if I didn't have to go to work I'd spend a lot more hours in the gym everyday so who knows.

My leisure days are sadly over. I'm back to work, with a vengeance.
Also I recently acquired a bicycle to start doing some morning rides around FP to trim up a little bit, however I haven't really started that whole thing yet.
I gather it takes 21 days to start a healthy habits, I should really work on day one.

running, running, and more running. though this week not so much with rain and the half marathon on saturday. if anyone out there wants to start running, couch to 5k is a great program. really, i can't recommend it enough. i couldn't run a block when i started in august and now i'm signed up to run 13.1 miles on saturday. my longest run has only been 9 miles but it wasn't difficult and my goal for the 1/2 is just to finish in the allotted 4 hrs.
i've been tracking my steps with a pedometer at work and it seems i walk nearly 5 miles a day at work (though that is just 3 days a week).
after the half marathon i'm going to try to set a routine of yoga, kickboxing etc so i don't get bored with just running all the time.

Oh right, I forgot, woo!
My poor bike is so neglected. I need to find a pack of elementary school kids to ride around the neighborhood with - I could probably keep up with them! Though if my job situation changes, biking to work even on the cruiser would be super easy so that's exciting!
ETA: Laura, I'll try not to keep you waiting at the finish line TOO long on Saturday, ha!

I have a vacation coming up soon, then I will start and finish Power 90. I will be able to finish a 5k by Thanksgiving.
No planning, no hoping...just will. :-)

What is Power 90?
http://www.amazon.com/Power-90-In-Home-Boot-Camp/dp/B000VEVVIA
It's a program designed to last 90 days and includes three workouts. One week goes like this:
Day 1: Circuit
Day 2: Cardio and abs
Day 3: Circuit
Day 4: Cardio and abs
Day 5: Circuit
Day 6/7: Break or cardio and abs (break on one day only, you get to choose day 6 or 7)
Or maybe it's cardio one day with circuit and abs on the other, but you get the idea.
Do that for 45 days or whenever you think you're ready for the next step up, which is basically doing the same workout faster and with more reps.
Sculpt Circuit 1-2: Easy moves that work to tone, firm, and strengthen your entire body. (29 minutes)Sweat Cardio 1-2: Fun, innovative cardio moves, kickboxing, Pilates, and more to burn fat and shed inches fast. (36 minutes)
Sculpt Circuit 3-4: Next level for sculpting long, lean muscles. (38 minutes)
Sweat Cardio 3-4: Accelerated fat and calorie blasting. (42 minutes)
Ab Ripper 100 and 200: Get two 6-minute ab routines guaranteed to give you the flat, sexy six-pack abs you've always wanted.
P90X, which is what lifeliberty mentioned, is the next step up.

I smoke while on the stationary bike.
That's right, I said it.

30 mins free weights video, 30 min cardio video, (different days) and some bike riding. I'd like to join the new urban active or the RPAC but on a very tight budget right now.

I'm on a two week hiatus from doing a 6 day/week circuit interval training program (I got sick and I can't seem to kick it).
I plan on restarting as soon as I kick the bug. It makes an enormous difference in my days, and noticeably affected my strength and my waist line.

I'm also thinking about getting a bike, since my apartment is right on the Ohio & Erie Canal Towpath Trail, but if I were to do that, all my previous posts about annoying cyclists would rise from the grave and float in the air around me in augmented reality wherever I pedaled.
