Week 3, Day 6, Friday 2/15/13 (20 of 20 in a row....)

1 hour cardio early this morning - up North in da U.P. for a long weekend. 

Then went on a 6-hour snowmobile ride; tons of snow, 8" new stuff overnight and another few inches today.  Forecast is more lake effect snow somewhere between 10-18 inches tonight through tomorrow night - Yea Haw!

After we got back and put the sleds away, I went for my first workout at "Snap Fitness."  Been awhile since I've done the machine / circuit workout, but it was good!  Logged in a little over an hour, some 10-12 machines/exercises.

Week #3, Saturday , my 6 th day of exercise this week. I feel great!   This morning at the Y I did 45 mins cardio on the Arc Glider at some of the highest settings of resistance I’ve ever done.   After that I did some ab work, several weight machines and some stretching over a stability ball.   I can really feel the effect of the Challenge on my body…I feel great! We had another great weak of participation and support for the PC/Aerobic Challenge .  Way to go, everyone! Remember, tomorrow I will post the Week #3 totals for all the Challenge participants in this thread, and then I will open a new thread for Week #4…probably sometime around mid-morning (Central time US).   I’m on cloud-9…will tell ya more about  that later…!

Great week, everyone! We also have another newcomer…Fred508nyc, who stumbled around through a few ancient posts before finding this one.   Welcome!   We hope to see you participate in the Week #4 thread, too.   In this thread, you didn’t indicate which days you exercised, so for now I just listed you with 4 entries in the last four days of the week, but in Week #4, please do make an entry each individual day in order to be counted again.   Again, welcome! You guys are creative in your ideas for exercise, and that’s wonderful.   Several have gone out hiking in remembrance of Sequoia Ranger.   Golf.   I think A Yooper is going to do some snow shoeing.   Whatever it takes!   The experts say the key to success is getting out every day, or at least five days per week, to deliberately do something which gets your heart going.   You guys rock!   Here’s the Week #3 totals, as best I could count them.   If you see any mistake I’ve made, or you need to still post one of your Week #3 day results, please do add a posting to this thread and I will make appropriate corrections/updates.

Since I was on a cruise for week three and was unwilling to pay the ship's exorbitant per-minute rates for internet connectivity I said I would participate in week three by matching Casey's contribution for the week. I will include myself in the total since I did manage to work in things I consider challenging fitness activities. During the week I paddled a kayak three miles in heavy surf, went snorkeling twice, walked five miles -- from Waikiki beach to the Walmart at Ala Moana in Honolulu (to buy more Depends) and back, and did my usual circuit in the Pride of America fitness center. By my math that puts my total at 14 x $5.00 = $70.00.

Way to go, PeterDisAbelard!  

 

Thanks so much for your wonderful support for the participants of the PC/Aerobic Challenge—in both your personal entries so far in Weeks #1 and #2, and also in your PCF donation for Week #3.  Looking forward to seeing you entries in Week #4!

 

Hope that you had a great time in Hawaii...!

Just for clarity for anyone else who arrives here looking for the thread to make their exercise entry...this is the end of the Week #3 thread.  If you have a new entry to make, look for the Week #4 thread.
