The "whatever" Exercise Challenge

[Poppet12]

Ooh what's your MFP username? I'm cosham572 if you want to be MFP buds

I think I've added you.. not done it before!
Will make an effort to track food on there (always an eye opener) and give the pedometer a go!

 

[sewingbee]

Thanks craftermary,
I've got 4 days of naughtiness to work off!!!
I have been alternating feet pushing my sewing machine foot pedal and down - does that count too?

 

[lickthelid]

It worked I totally credit MFP with getting me back on track recently

 

[stellarsky]

I really like MFP too. Has made me stop and think a few times.

I have hooped. Not much else today as gearing up for a good run tomorrow.

 

[lickthelid]

Feel free to add me I've added my username to my signature I'm up for any mutual support!!

I've just done half of my hooping although it's much much harder with a lighter hoop and will take some practice. The max I have managed is 30 rotations!!

 

[stellarsky]

Fab, just done it. 30 rotations! I think I got 5 tops. Must try harder.

 

[lickthelid]

I found it easier with the weighted hoop as it gained its own momentum but oh the bruises. This is way more gentle and ironically I have to work harder to keep it up. I did ten mins and was really getting very warm!!!

 

[Trefoil]

Tins were done this morning!

I'm about to go for my second lot of ten mins....

 

[lickthelid]

Ended up doing 20 so I have exceeded target and done 30 mins tonight. Burns an impressive amount of kcal as well. 7 a minute so 30mins is 210!! makes me happy

Day THREE-- 20 bicep curls,20 lateral raise,12 front raise and up and down a ladder. Good for the leg muscles.

Squats again tomorrow.

 

[lickthelid]

And an extra five

Blimey, I'm not....am I?

Am I ENJOYING this???

 

[Cavegirl21]

What size did you order @lickthelid ?

 

[lickthelid]

Hoop size? Erm.... Hang on....it's a 40"

Comes up to my belly button from the floor and I'm 5ft 8 - apparently that's the gauge.

It's taking some time to get the technique. I watched some you tube vids and they make it look so easy!!

I go to a Powerhoop class at the gym and we do all sorts of exercises including playing football while hooping, catching a ball and jumping over a skipping rope! All great fun and uses up anything from 350 calories to over 500 in the hour. I use a 5 kilo hoop which after the initial bruising is fine. The heavier the hoop the easier it is to keep up.

 

[stellarsky]

Just powerwalked 3 miles.

 

[Mere]

Wel done! You must be feeling great.

 

[Cavegirl21]

I went out into the garage at 10 am just to feed the birds. An hour and half later I came back in after lifting 8 bags of compost,get all the rubbish into a pile for someone to dispose of it and brushed all the cr*p up. Feel like I've done my workout for today.
