Well I successfully made it to my 6 am workout class, my alarm went off at 5:10 and i was out the door by 5:30!!!!! That is for sure a first! I think it is going to be good, today was kinda a wasted day as everyone had to be weighed and measured so we were pretty much on our own on the treadmill or eliptical machines....i weighed in at136, 2 pounds less than when I finished Team Weight Loss last April! Kudos to me!!! I am pretty proud to have kept off the weight all summer and through the holidays.
They changed the format of the class it used to be 2x a week strength training one day a week cardio with cardio homework....i guess for this class at least for the first month it is goign to be 2x cardio one day strenght training with strength homework...we will see how that goes. I am really interested to see the strength training circuit on Wednesday because I think this is where I will see the most difference, because this is the stuff I don't do much of now.
I also already have homwork I have to complete by Friday. I have to see how far I can go on the treadmill for 30 minutes. I am not a runner, AT ALL, i have no stamina for it! I have been working out for a year but still can't run more than 5 minutes at 5.0 on the treadmill....I can walk on an incline of 15 on the treadmill but I can't run. So I am sure my 30 minutes will be mostly walking with running a few minutes in between....but it is a starting point...a bench mark. We will do the same thing half way through the class and at the end to see the progress that we made....so lets hope I make progress in being able to run a bit more than I can now. I think they also measure # of push ups, sit ups, chin ups , plank (whatever that is) I think we will learn about all this on Wedneday when we do our first strength class.....
They did say that it will be up to the class if after a month or whatever we wnat to switch to 2x strength one cardio. I don't even really know who is in my class because they had us group with the team weight loss class today so i don't knwo who was in which program. I will know better wednesday but i did meet two of the woman in the class, one has taken it before and one hasn't , they were both friendly enough
So I am excited to see what i am going to learn and see what progress my body makes. I don't need to lose a ton of weight I really just want to increase my endurance and tone up my bottom half especially.
I will keep you posted! In the meantime i am going to try to take a nap while izzy naps because i am exhausted, i could not sleep last night and then when i finally did fall asleep i had crazy dreams that would wake me up then the alarm went off at 5:10!

I'm getting ready to take a nap too! I so wish I could join you for this workout regime! It sounds like it will be totally awesome. And huge bonus points to you for keeping your weight off and then some!
P.S. A Plank is a pilates move. Lay on the floor on your belly. Then raise yourself up where your hand to your elbows are on the ground, and your elbows close to your rib cage. You then need to push up and be on your toes. The goal is to keep this position for as long as possible. When I first tried it, I barely could keep 30 seconds. When I finished a few sessions with a trainer, I could hold it almost 2 minutes. Nowadays, maybe 30 secons would be my max!
