June's 100 Mile Walk


Quote  |  Reply

Anyone up for a 100 mile walk??? or 50 if 100 seems too extreme for you? Join me!

100 miles = 3.2 miles per day

50 miles = 1.6 miles per day

I've been keeping track of my miles through a pedometer but you can also use http://www.mapmyrun.com/ if you don't have one.

Post your mileage whenever you feel, and we'll support and motivate eachother to keep it up! Good luck everyone!

I've decided to add an extra challenge this month for anyone willing to take it!  We need some Core and Arm workouts ladies... if not well have perfact butts with bat wings!  No one wants that!

I’ve found 4 different challenges to increase our upper body and core strength each more difficult then the other.  Take some time this week to try them out and see where you stand.

 The first option is 15 minutes of Elbow Plank in a month:

http://exercise.about.com/od/abs/ss/abexercis es_10.htm  Plank 60 seconds every other day will give you 15 minutes at the end of the month.

The second option is the same but instead of doing the plank on your elbows try it on the palms of your hands which is slightly more difficult.  60 seconds every other day.

If that is too easy the third option is 30 seconds of the side plank on each side. http://yoga.about.com/od/yogasequences/ss/yog aforabs_5.htm

And the forth:

10-20 of these every other day

rain, rain, go away.... I wanted to walk 6.5 miles today!! Boo!

I guess I'll be hitting up the treadmill tonight, which is not nearly as exciting. Ugh. Maybe I'll start up C25K again. I stopped at week 7, so I'll just start from there.

my lovely hubby generously offered me the opportunity to have another walk this evening while he watched our 3 kids plus 2 friends of our oldest son. Added 5K (walk) to the total.

Is jump roping as good an exercise as running?

In terms of calorie burning, moderate jumping is about equal to running a 10-minute mile, although calorie burning is always a function of time... Read more
