Challenge Number Six

I can do this one !
I stretch daily-if I don't I will cramp up doing everyday chores.

Ummm all the polls let me know just how out of shape I am! I'm going to start stretching when before I go to bed to help me wind down from my day.

Bookmarked the link for later. Thanks =)

I can do this. My hubby is always getting on me about strectching before and after working out.

I stretched before and after my workout with the snow!!! They are calling for more, so I guess I will get another snow workout [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.] Yesterday, I did a cardio workout on the cable channel as well as a quick ab. I stetched after.

Its sad....I never stretch. When I get to the gym, I just hop on the treadmill or elliptical machine. When I'm done, I do the 5 minute cool down...lift weights and go home.

I stretched a lot yesterday because I actually made it to Zumba! It was a workout but it was fun. I realized just how much rhythm I have lost over the years. Hopefully I will get in shape and gain my rhythm back.

Tia, great! I have to see if one of the fitness centers I am a part has the class. I have heard great things. I was trying to see if I could find a link to an intro class on YT or another site. No luck yet.

I did great today. I stretched before and after the two cardio videos I did on exercisetv.tv. One of them was a Bootcamp Cardio Burn. I was impressed with my ability to keep up. That first step still had me throughout the video but I did not let it stop my momentum. Total calories burned 804 [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.] .

UPDATE: I have lost 5.35 inches. I lost in all important areas with exception of thighs (+0.5). I did get bigger calves (+0.4) [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.] . I have very small calves and ankles and big thunder thighs.

After the Zumba workout I have no choice but to stretch. My muscles were so tight. I think I am going to try to incorporate pilates into my schedule

Hope you are striving to be/remain healthy and fit in 2010 & beyond. I will catch up with you ladies next Sunday, February 21. All is well, taking a vacation with hubby for the next few days.

Have fun on your vaycay!

I honestly should be able to say that I stretch daily because I dance almost every day but I'm not counting the stretching I already have to do for classes. I gotta start stretching on my own to increase my flexibility and also incorporate muscle toning stretches, like different yoga moves I'm gonna step my fitness game up in 2010!! It's always been a passion of mine but I never actually worked out as often as I would like to because I love exercise!! I just got get my butt in the gym more often and stay on this thread to keep me motivated
I love these challenges! I wish I had joined CN.com sooner so I could have participated with you guys but I plan on doing all the challenges on my own as well!
