Veganitaliana Posted September 19, 2007 Share Posted September 19, 2007 more strength, more rythme, more grace, more time outdoors. So how's that for a wish list? What am I doing to do to get what I want? 1) Baladi 2 hours a week. 2) Badminton 2 hours a week. 3) Rock climbing (actually indoor wall climbing) 2 hours a week. 4) Viniyoga 1 hour per week. 5) Walking, hiking 6 hours per week. 6) Puny lightweights that I find at my gym-it's quite pathetic the amount of weight I can lift and how little I know about it-I'll try for at least 1 hour a week. 7) Swimming 1 hour per week. I'm going to the gym almost every night for either a class or a workout. Now I'm heading off for a walk with my dogs. Hasta la vista... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You seem to be doing alot of workout! It's the "politically correct" term people use here for bellly-dancing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Veganitaliana Posted October 13, 2007 Author Share Posted October 13, 2007 Today, I kicked some butt I put on some baladi music and went to work!!! I'm really happy with my workout In between two rain clouds, I power walked for an hour. Plus, 30 mins on the Gazelle for my cardio. Strength traIning: 20 assisted chin ups 3 planks held for a minute each. 10 frog jumps. duck walking (really tough) 30 squat lunges Stretch tubes for every muscle I could think of. 20 minutes of baladi. 1 yoga routine to stretch out at the end. Total time 2.5 hours I'm exhausted now so I'll watch a movie. Ciao Just because I haven't been writing everyday, doesn't mean I haven't been working out. By the end of November I think I should be ready to post some before and after pictures. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Veganitaliana Posted October 14, 2007 Author Share Posted October 14, 2007 Went to the gym with my family today. We played badminton for 45 minutes (no it's not a sissy activity-it's very strong cardio). I did another 15 minutes of taekwan-do sparring with the gym's dummy to round out my cardio. Adductor 35kg 30 reps Abductor 35 kg 30 reps Weighted crunches 50 reps at 30 kg. I also did some balance work and stretchs. Total time 1.5 hours. A little easier than yesterday, but I'm happy nonetheless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lisaanddini Posted October 15, 2007 Share Posted October 15, 2007 I like how much you change up your workouts. It should keep you from getting bored. I need to start checking out the classes my gym offers. I'm pretty sure they do not have Belly Dancing though- I wish they did, that sounds fun!

Veganitaliana Posted October 15, 2007 Author Share Posted October 15, 2007 Today's fitness menu: One hour hike in the mountains near me-beautiful fall colours! Will go to the gym with my family to do some wall climbing and probably weights. I might do some stretch tubes too. Ciao Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SeaSiren Posted October 15, 2007 Share Posted October 15, 2007 Yes, yes, yes on the weights! I see the most results when I lift more than anything else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Veganitaliana Posted October 17, 2007 Author Share Posted October 17, 2007 Beautiful sunny day today. So far I've power walked for one hour with some running intervals-I'm trying to incorporate more running. The woods were gorgeous today. I also did some gardening for an hour. Tonight, I'm off to the gym to wall climb, swim and train with the weights. Total time today: 3 hours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Veganitaliana Posted October 27, 2007 Author Share Posted October 27, 2007 Good news, I took my pedometer with me on my power walk today and I liked the results. My usual walks are 7kms long with 9877 steps. Plus, I bought myself a BFI scale-although I'm not sure how accurate they are. My weight is down to 123 pounds and my BFI is 18.5%. (Down from 145 pounds in March and 165 since becoming vegan just over a year ago). I'm really happy with my changes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
