Woo....we must have no one at my Curves losing weight b/c I've never heard a bell being rung, lol. 4th time this week? YOU GO RENEE! Wow!Originally Posted by Rockcat
Ooooo, you'll do well, Amy. Besides that, when they ring the bell (because you lost weight or inches) everyone will "Woo Hoo" and it will get you all amped up!
I'm going. 4th time this week!!!
Well, you're the one who motivated me to go back!Originally Posted by ugaimes

Ooh, "follow the leader" sounds like fun for the recovery stations. What do you tend to do on those anyway? They don't like us jogging on them, so I always do leg lifts (with a little bit of hopping to get more cardio in), leg extensions, leg curls, etc.Originally Posted by Rockcat
Well, you're the one who motivated me to go back!Members at my Curves have lost a total of 2hundred something pounds in March. I'm sure they're losing at your Curves too. They might not have a bell.
Last night was fun. Some of the more athletic members were there and we were kind of playing follow the leader on the recovery stations.
Have a good workout, Amy!

That is awesome that your folks lost over 200 lbs. in March. That is quite an inspiration.
Keep it up "Jockcat"
Hey, question for everyone. Do you think once I'm able to change my TCS title from Top Cat to something else, I should change it to TCS Workout Motivator or something along those lines?
We can do anything we want on the recovery stations. I usually jog, but sometimes dance, leg curls, or "step."Originally Posted by ugaimes

I'm always going to tell people when they use the tired excuse....workouts are a GREAT way to GAIN energy- that I promise!!!Originally Posted by berylayn
I have a bad case of TGIF!! I am soooo tired.I am not sure if the gym is in my future. If I don't go tonight though, I will definitely be there tomorrow.
Woo hoo! Woo hoo! Whoo hoo!Originally Posted by berylayn
Yeah yeah, I know. I have this thing about working out on Fridays though. Its like my evening to unwind and do nothing. We'll see. Maybe I'll go just for you Amy.
Way to go Maaaaaaaarge, way to go! *clap clap*
I MUST listen to music when I workout. No ifs ands or buts about it. I just got an Ipod shuffle back in Feb. from my parents and i love it. it stores a great amount and variety of music, and so far the battery life has been really good too. They are also more inexpensive than the other ipods ($100 instead of $250 - $500)Originally Posted by ugaimes
Gail, way to go with the cardio and yardwork! And EXCELLENT willpower and B&N!
When I was running last year (that was short-lived!) I didn't have a good Walkman, so I ran without musicBut music DEFINITELY passes the time better. They're expensive, but I think those ipod minis are specifically designed for things such as working out...
Mind/body classes like Yoga and Pilates can have very different effects on different people. I wouldn't be too worried about it Marge, as long as you're not feeling any kind of new and unexplained pain, it's probably ok. As long as you're at a legit gym, the yoga instructor HAS to have a specific yoga certification and has to renew it every 2 years (meaning they have to do a bunch of continuing education workshops and seminars). It may just be that your reaction is emotional. If you don't mind this reaction, I wouldn't worry about it, if it bothers you or makes you uncomfortable, simply talk to your yoga instructor right before or after class. As instructors we HAVE to make ourselves available to answer questions about the class. While I can't always answer all questions that get posed to me, I always do my best as I want people to keep coming back, so I'm sure your instructor will do the same. Hope that helps a bit.
MP3 players are the way to go, and that doesn't necessarily mean anything to do with IPod. IPods are very expensive and while they are quite nice, you can get a great MP3 player for much less with plenty of storage space and wonderful sound quality. I have a SanDisk player myself and the sound is just incredible. It stores far more music than I could listen to in a few cardio trips (which are usually 40 min at a time for me) so there's plenty of space. If I were you I would just check out all of the various MP3 players and find out which one might be best for you. Circuit City has a large selection and the people there can answer any questions you may have. That's where mine came from (as Brendan is an employee there). Also, the vast majority of MP3 players now come with a workout armband that holds the player on your arm while you workout. It's QUITE handy!!
