Well, here we are. At the end of this week it'll be a month this this was all started!

For those of you just seeing this, or have been wanting to join, but are reluctant to, this isn't about listing all the stuff that we are doing. Though if you want to, go right ahead If you're doing stuff that others aren't, it just gives target for others to shoot for.

That being said, if you only want to post "did my workout" and not say what that was, that ok too (that's actually what I do ). Don't think that because you can't do much that you shouldn't do anything. I can't do much, but I'm getting better.

In fact, in the three weeks I've done this, I've started to notice actual tone starting to develope

But, onto what this whole thing is about. It's about us Browncoats getting fit and staying fit.

So, for some, this might start as no workout and changing the diet from 100% McDonalds to something more healthy (which wouldn't be hard in this case ), to the things that Browncoat1 does (that guy is crazy workout guy ).

Now, how is it done? Most of us, do our thing and post here when done. We also have had some discussions about what exercises are best, general guidelines, and recipies!

So join, get healthy/healthier and have fun

Week goal: Mon-Fri

My today is, after this is posted, I'm going to walk into the next room and do my workout. So, check day 1

Hi all! Mind if I join in?

I'm pretty thin, but really just want to become more active and tone up a bit, particularly around the midsection. My goal is to have a nice, flat tummy that looks good in a bikini.

Anyway, I usually keep track of what I eat at this website:

http://www.mypyramidtracker.gov/default.htm

It's free and gives me at least a general idea of whether I'm on track.

Like I said, I'm not overweight (my BMI is 21.0), but everyone can always use more exercise! I planned on going for a run this morning before work, but unfortunately I'm on a new medication (I have endometriosis) and it's making me nauseated, so I think today I'll just stick with my pilates DVD and do a bit of core strength training so I don't get too ill. Once my tummy feels better, I'll start my running routine.

Anyway, hope you don't mind if I jump right in. I think this is a fabulous idea, and I commend you all for sticking to it for 3 weeks already!

We would love it if you'd join! The more the merrier. In addition to the above description of our lovely little club I put the link to the original thread below which I think includes some workout tips, etc. As for me, I'm planning on walking later and am getting ready to do some toning exercises. Wish me luck!

I put in a 2.75 mile walk at lunch today.

Going to the gym again this afternoon.

Didn't weigh in Friday, but will weigh in today.

@Persephone736:
Yah, re-reading my post, it does look like I'm taking credit for starting this thing. Sorry

Hope your workout went well and that you find the time for tonight's walk

@All:
It was Persephone736 that started this. I just seem to be responsible for creating the weekly thread.

@KellyOfLuthien:
Welcome

I wish you luck in your goal of tone-y goodness

@Browncoat1:
Shiny! Keep it up

Haha. I totally wasn't accusing you. I just thought maybe we could get some more people to stick around if they knew what happened to the old post (which has lots of tips and such)- therefore I included it in my signature. But thanks for acknowledging that! :) And yes, I did get time in for my walk- a short one but a walk nonetheless.

PS I appreciate (I'm sure we all do) that you keep up with posting the weekly threads!
PPS I'm happy you're developing some tone:)

30 minutes w/ the weights. Did 2 miles on the treadmill hill sequence. Did 5 miles on the bike w/ the steady incline program. Did 15 minutes on the cross trainer machine.

Weighed in, but I am a bit disheartened. I have not dropped any weight in the last 6 days.

Thanks for the welcome, everyone!

You guys are doing a lot more exercise than me!

Today, since I didn't run, I did 30 lunges, 20 minutes of pilates focusing on abs, 5 minutes of stretching (my hamstrings are tight!) and 5 minutes of upper body with resistance bands. Just trying to ease my way into it now. Here's hoping I can get to the point where I can do 68624 miles like Browncoat1!

Oh, by the way, I'm 5' 6 1/4" and 132 pounds. Not really interested in losing weight, just inches around my waist/flattening my tummy.

So I'm still acting like a bum, but after the Biochemistry exam tonight, I'll be at the gym. In the meantime, though I stumbled across this website: http://www.fpnotebook.com/. It's pretty interesting if you use the "Dietician in a Box" link.

I have been keeping busy. Skipped ballet last week, but hope to make it today. May have to run calves instead. Gorram junior rodeos anyway.

I went and splurged too much and bought a fitball and band set along with the soundtracks to Firefly and Serenity. Strange combo I know. Hope to use it tonight or tomorrow morning. Maybe not tonight if ballet goes rough. Have been holding my arms in proper position. OUCH! Talk about a workout.
