It turned out to be such a gorgeous day!! The rain stayed away and I was able to exercise outside. I asked Allie and my Dad to walk from our house down to festival. This is, according to map quest, 2.04 miles one way. We walked over four miles!! It was so much fun to exercise with a group. It distracts you a little bit, so it goes by a little faster. I am so proud of Allie and myself. Especially when we had to tackle quimby street hill. I officially completed the Weight Watchers walk it challenge.
I am excited because I have a friend who is going to teach me how to use the STRIVE machine's this week at the YMCA. I am feel so insecure about using the weight machines at the YMCA, so hopefully I will feel more sure of myself after my lesson!!
I am beginning to think I can really get into biking. I will let you know Tuesday after I try biking with my new padded Capri's. I want to hear from all of you!! What is your favorite type of exercise and why?

I absolutely LOVE Tae Bo! You don't have to do a lot of it to burn crazy amounts of calories. Billy Banks isn't all that hard to follow either. So many of the exercise videos are impossible to follow along with. He really walks you through the motions and has supportive words for you. He also adds his faith into it which is an added bonus for me!
ReplyDeleteI also really enjoyed the bike rides from Riverside up to Rockford and back. We had a blast canoeing down the Rouge River into Rockford as well. You're really making me want to get back into all of this! Thanks Mel!!! Keep up the awesome work!
