Didn't do it  ; it has been pissing down, sorry , chucking it down all day. It started with a superb thunderstorm which went on for ages, and hasn't stopped raining since!!
So roll on tomorrow.

crimebabe: regarding the 20 sets of leg presses with rather low weight - you might be interested in this article here: http://www.t-nation.com/readArticle.do?id=1305014
it delves into indications that males and females react the same way to the same kind of exercise, i.e.: what makes a guys muscle grow makes a girls muscles grow, as well as running a lengthy (and quite informative) critique of the classic "girls routine" in gyms.
just pretend the corny uh-im-so-manly-talk wasnt present in the article, as the rest is quite sound advice. |

gekitsu thank you very much for the informative article
i will be sure to include some of those excersise into my routine on saturday when i got to the gym
the diet that they have on there is likely to help aswell
good luck with any excersise that you might be doing
well done katrine
so who are you running with
your right though it is always good to have a partner when excersisng it helps keep morale

Running with my HFA son's best friend's Mum, if that makes any sense
She's doing a woman's triathlon, so she hops on her bike and picks me up - we run - and she hops back on her bike and off she goes! 
All this is after the kids are asleep.. I must admit the dark is quite nice when you're just getting started - don't feel like such an idiot. And don't have time to feel like an idiot, cause we're chatting about the kids and stuff.
So I'm happily surprised that it's all working out - I've never been a great one for sports. |

Very impressed. I missed yesterday's cos was raining, hard, and today's cos got some kind of gastro and spent most of the day in the bed. 
Really impressed by how everybody's doing and really glad you're still all posting cos it helps me think that all is not lost cos missed one. ( the wet weather I'd already counted out  ).

Thank you!
Just got back from today's one.
Wasn't too bad today. Puffed and steaming but not dead.
How's everybody else doing?
Good luck and lots of positive vibes!  *  *  *  * 
I want to say thank you again to everybody who has posted on this thread. I am almost completely sure that I wouldn't have managed even one walk without your support/participation.
I look forward to hearing more about how it's going , yoga, running, weights, treadmills, kettlebells, exercises etc! How is the pool, Hartzofspace?

Thank you.
It was alright, though I am getting a bit worried about my knees on the steep up and down slopes; they're starting to ache/stiffen/pull a bit. ( have always had weak knees, which is why can't run). It's slowing me up a little too, which means less aerobic/cardio effect.
So I think will switch to the other "circuit" which although has the same up-slope at the start , doesn't, as far as I can remember, have such severe down gradients. Which will make a change too.
PS: Noticed cheekbones more visible again ... I'm not fat, but I was getting "pasty", and just the last 2 weeks exercise has already had an effect!
