My overall plan includes 45 minutes of fasted cardio in the 65%-75% MHR range.

My biggest problem is not getting myself to do it. I do it when work and stuff like that don't interfere.

My real problem is getting out the door in the AM. I have a completely unstructured work life. And procrastination is easy for me. And I am really slow at waking up in the AM-- I am not one of those bounce out of bed people.

So for example today I have been ready to go to the gym since 9:00 Am and it is now 11:00 AM. This totally messes up the rest of my day.

So I thought if anyone wanted to join me and report in the AM when you succeed that would be great to have company. I will report not only if I went but if I went early without procrastinating. :cool: :cool:

So now I will really go to the gym...

And procrastination is easy for me. And I am really slow at waking up in the AM-- I am not one of those bounce out of bed people.

Justitia, this is exactly my problem. I would be interested in this challenge, although I only do cardio mon, tues, thurs & fri...would that be ok?

-jess

Yes, Goddezz, that is fine! Welcome--I appreciate the company.

It is 9:20 AM SUnday May 29th. I have been up 1 hour 20 minutes and i have not gone yet. My gym only opened at 8:00 for Sunday.

So here I go! (I hope... :o )

Edit: Well I didn't leave for another hour but I did go. I am really tired. I had almost no energy to do the workout. I wonder what is up. It has been 5 days since I returned form Europe and I should be over the jetlag now.

Justitia,
I know exactly what you mean about not being a early morning riser. I've set my alarm to get up early for two weeks now to work out in the morning. I've turned off the alarm, clicked on the tv and then got up my regular time to get ready for my day. How sad! I started a challenge about working out in my target heart range, but I would like to join your challenge. I sense that this would be good motivation.

I would like to join as well.
During the week I manage somehow to get out of bed and do it, but on weekends I am a total mess and end up lounging around and procrasinating.

I am so glad I am not alone with these issues.

Welcome everyone who wants to join, at any point.

My purpose is to report here every day, whther I make it or not. If I don't, just state so. Tomorrow is another day!

My intentions are to sign on, get dressed to go, take my morning supps, state I am going---then hopefully go right then and not "find something else to do first" (which is my pattern).

Then come back afterwards, eat my breakfast, shower and then sign on saying I did this --without procrastination at any step. If I did procrastinate at some point --to state so.

So there is my commitment for my challenge. :cool:

But to start this off right, I am not going today, Monday, b/c it is Memorial day and my gym is closed. :D Of course I could go to my building's treadmill :rolleyes: -- but it is pretty pathetic and I've decided to take one day off a week , which normally would be Sunday.

But I went yesterday -- 4 days in a row! :tu: so I will take off today.

Welcome everyone who wants to join at any point...

Hey, I'm part of the P&P challenge, BUT I am adding a new component of cardio to my plan - so I could join this one too - would that be ok with you? I'm starting today, actually - 6-7 days a week of it.

3 days 40-50 min LISS
3 Days 20-40 min LISS (weight training days)
1 day 2 mile walk outside with my dog or LISS

It would be helpful to have a reason individually to get it done aside from P&P. :nod:

I'm off to do mine for today now, actually.

Absolutely, it is great to have you join. I wanted to join your P&P when I got back from Europe a couple of days ago--but I realized you guys were already half way through and I am needing a few days to get my routine back in order.

But it would be great to have you join!

Look forward to "hearing" your post when you get back from today's workout :tu:

LOL ok! I did it, 40 minutes of LISS (3.5 MPH @ 10% incline) I was going to go to 50 minutes, but I accidentally unplugged my dvd player, and it was going to take too long to re-set up again. :rolleyes: But either way, that was good! I love how I don't feel "fried" after LISS. And once the movie got really good, I felt like I had only been at it for 15 minutes! yay! hehe

WTG :jumping: Congrats :claplow:

I love 45 minutes of Liss too, though I miss 45 minutes of High Intensity (not HIIT) . I feel a great high after that. But I am sticking to LISS for now. :tu:

Ok, I did my 55 minute run this morning. Walk up at 7:30 and was out of door by 8:15. The goal was to get out by 8:00 am, so I went over by 15 minutes, but it's ok, I have day off from work today, and I was still way ahead of where I usually am on a non-work day. Came back and cooked my lunch for the week (chicken leek soup, yum!) and am doing two loads of laundry. Feel pretty productive.
I was kind of lethargic through the run, hams were pretty sore after yesterday's leg day, but that's to be expected. Am considering another cardio session later today. I want to drop under 20% sometime before my vacation in August (I estimate I am somewhere around 23% right now).

Ok, I did my cardio today but it wasn't am and it wasn't fasted. sawwwyyy! It's my day off today and I slept in :D

I too have the day off and I did laundry. I'm on the third floor, laundry is in the basement and it's a walk-up (no elevator). I got the laundry done, but no straight thru exercise. Tomorrow the madness will begin. :tu:

Great going everyone! It's progress to perfection and progress is what counts. It feels great to come clean, for me.

So I am up too late. 3rd night in a row. I have to pick up my car early in the Am so I have time to get down to DC for a meeting. I have no idea if I will get up even earlier so I can get my cardio in before, but my alarm is set :D

I am totally in. Neewbie is ready to rock!!! See ya'll tomorrow!!!! :gl:

Well, I am up...I set my alarm for 4:30 and I kept hitting the snooze button ugh. I was awake past midnight :mad: Couldn't sleep!

It is almost 20 to 6:00 and I leave the house at 6:30 for work. I'm going to do a short HIIT in 5 minutes. I'll report when I get home from work.

Later y'all! Have a great day!

Well, I made it up this morning at 5am and did my 25 min of LISS, gotten the kids breakfast (and a snack) and now I'm off to my weights!

Come on! Everyone check in! (I was up past midnight myself last night...I SOOOOOOOO need a nap right now)

Well, at least the sun is up. I got up at 5:30 and it's now 6:07. I'm about to workout, stationary bike today for 35 min. I'll have to work on getting a move on before 6am. :)

Edit: DONE! 9.30 miles :tu:

Monday, May 31, 2005
On again too little sleep, I got up and made it to the gym by 7:30 AM. (my goal is to get to the gym by 7:00 AM. I just did 30 minutes of LISS (instead of 45 minutes) b/c I have to leave early to pick up my car and I was moving a little slow this morning. But I felt much stronger this morning, back to my old strength. Jet lag may be over. I feel pretty great. :)

Had a late night as well last night, so getting out of bed this morning was a challenge. Managed to get out of door for my 50 mins of LISS cardio by 7:05, which is somewhere around 20 mins behind schedule. Ended up being 30 mins late this morning to work. Will try to get to bed by 10:30, 11 at the latest tonight. Really need my sleep. And I need to get to the point where I just jump out of bed the first time alarm goes off.
Hams are still sore from saturday's work out, so I felt 'slow' and tired running.

I'll join this so i can keep track of how often i do my cardio for the month of june.
I'm setting a goal to do a fasted morning 4-5 mile jog EVERYDAY in june. there's 30 days in june, meaning 30 cardio sessions.

More than welcome, WhOareume. I wanted join your challenge with the guys but you have alll been doing it so long, I felt like I would be ontruding. But reading your thread motivated me to start my own.

Welcome aboard! :tucool:

(And I am jealous you are running...I used to be a runner til I herniated adisc...so now it is elliptical trainers an inclined high-speed walking on tread mills for me from now on...)

Reporting in...

Did 20 mins HIIT, a quick shower and I was sweating again in seconds grrr. I really need to get my arse outta bed when the alarm goes off!

Just a reminder...Tomorrow I don't do cardio. See ya Thursday bright and early! (I hope) :D

I'm running late, but I'm here. Had a tough one, getting my daughter off to school - I almost ended up getting her to the bus while wearing a towel... :o

Anyway, I did *50* minutes of LISS this morning.. i'm so dang proud... :D Burned 547 calories :spaz: Who knew that walking up hill would be such a big deal?

Oh, and Who : nice to know someone else has a freakishly low heart rate. :) Have you gone to the Dr's yet for a check up, just to scare the nurses? It's great entertainment! :cool:

havnt gone for a checkup in like a year - i'm waiting for my resting heartrate to get down to 30 before i do :)

did my 50-55 mins of jogging this morning (total time came to 55 mins, but I have to subtract some minutes for having to stop at the stoplights). Woke up on time, but still ended up late to work. Arghh!

Woke up late - 8:30 AM...

Procrastination was un full force...did not get to the gym til 11:30 AM :o

Did 45 minutes LISS. Weigh day -- dropped 3 lbs -- 152lbs now, about my lowest since I started this past January. Big Question--will I stick to everything so I can break 150? (Oh, I long for my svelte trim days of 123...) :cool:

Eberyone is doing so great here! It's very motivsating to read everyone's post... Congrats to you all... and watch out for that towel wadrobe, Savyart :d_smile: and make sure WhO that no one catches asleep and thinks you're dead with such a low heartbeat :d_wink: (That is really cool though!)

And jpo, you may have been late to work but I bet you're ten times more productive.

And PhillyGirl, you got us all beat today :nod:

It's 5:00 am and I am up and ready for my cardio in 5 minutes (go me! :D )

I will report in later after work.

Tomorrow is measurements day...cross your fingers and toes!

EDIT: Only did 15 mins HIIT. I just couldn't get it going but I guess a little is better than none. (Is that an excuse?)

Ok, got up at 4:45 AM and did 30 min of LISS before my weight training. :tucool:

Brisk pace today. i pretty much sprinted the entire 6 miles.

42 was the lowest i could get my HR to go this morning. it must be due to a lack of sleep these past few days - i've only gotten 6 hrs a night. most likely due to the ECA stack. it's so hard for me to get to sleep every night.

good job to everyone who woke up this morning :nod:

Ran for 55 mins this morning.
Was even later to work this morning. I really need to work on this.
I can't wait to get my Ipod already.
I ran again in the afternoon yesterday. Only about 2 miles. I think I might make try out the 2Xday cardio for a while, just to speed up the fat-loss. For some reason , despite the fact that I was much more fatigued and tired in the afternoon, once I started running, my pace was much faster than what I manage first thing in the morning. I guess my energy peaks later in the day.

Here I am the laggard again. It is 11:40 and I am just going to the gym fo rmy fasted cardio now. (I was up late last night again... Until 2:00AM...got to work on that.)

Finally got out of bed, no work today.

Got to work right on time today. :d_biggrin

LOL, whO!
I wasn't really sleep, kinda lounged in bed. Was gonna blow off exercise, but I got up and did it. My weekend workout will be around the afternoon too since I don't work on the weekend and there's absolutely nooooo reason in the world for me to wake up at 6am on sat/sun.

Had a coffee with a tablespoon of non-dairy creamer (20 cals, 1g fat) right before. Does that qualify for 'fasted'?

yes, morning races count as fasted even if you have a breakfast before it. (which you definatly should!)

45 minutes of Fasted LISS at 10 am today after a break yesterday. (Spent the day in bed--must have been fatigued--lots of energy today.) :cool:

Notes:
I need to try to hit 38 bpm for a resting heart rate.
does anyone know how to lower this?
do i just strive to get into better shape maybe?
maybe i should do more cardio past my lactade threshold

Did my 58 minutes of running this morning. Got lucky and didn't really have to wait at any of the stop lights, so that's truly 58 minutes of continuous running.

wh0: if you really want to lower your resting heart rate further I would think you'd just need to strive for even higher state of fitness. Although there has to be a limit to this, I'd think. But whatever keeps you going...
Now it makes me want to know what my resting heart rate is. Wish I had one of those monitors.

Sunday: did my 45 minutes fasted LISS at 11:00 AM. (Up real late Saturday Night. :cool: ) Starting to be a piece a cake, again.... :d_smile: That makes 9 days out of 11 (started a week ago on Thursday) so hopefully I will stay on target towards doing cardio 6 days a week.

Couldnt get my HR below 42 today. i cant figure out why. my biking/cardio hasnt been that intense the past few days, so i dont think im overtraining.
although during yesterday's bikeride i felt a bit like i didnt want to do it, which is another sign of overtraining. (the raised resting HR is another sign).

lots of sweat today. good sweat. good beads.

Got my 50 min of LISS in at 4:45AM today :tu:

as long as you got out there and tried, thats all that counts.

man.. i should start posting everytime i bike on my lunch hour too.
i probably burn a small child's worth of calories everyday with my cardio + metabolism.

I still don't understand how you can do that much activity on 1700 cals a day :p
and how you can do no carbs for three days in a row and have a bulk of your exercise be intense cardio based.
I am baffled.

jpo - with enough caffiene and will power, you can do anything. :tu:

well, strapped on my heartrate monitor to test my restingheart rate... it wont go below 53. bad bad bad bad bad sign.
i'm canceling my morning run because of it.
i'm also not going to go biking today. i'm going to lift instead.
i also feel a little under the weather today, like im getting a cold.

if overtraining is possible, i'm definatly the #1 candidate.

7/9 - caught the flu or a cold or maybe just overworked.
not going to run/bike again until i feel 100%.

ran for 54 mins this morning. back to feeling normal. :D

still sick, but i'm feeling much much better.
holding off on the cardio until sunday probably.
i miss running :(

7/10 of 30

Was too tired to do am cardio :( . Will definitely do cardio after work.

Ok, cardio done! 50 mins treadmill

Where's everybody?

whO-I hope you feel better soon

Justitia-Where are you?

jpo-I wanna be like you with the running. One can dream

Savy-4:30am OMG! I know, you gotta do whatever works.

This is week 1 of Marathon Training Program, so I will be taking two days off from am running every week to avoid overtraining. Days off will probably be Friday and Tuesday.
Today I lifted weights.
Tomorrow 10 mile run, should I do it fasted? I did the last two times, it seemed to be fine (I had a bowl of oatmeal last thing before bed the night before), although the second time I was really feeling wretched the last 3-4 miles.

PhillyGirl: I am not nearly as inspiring as wh0. He is a cardio machine on this forum.

Justita: this thread is your brainchild, we miss you!

jpo - what marathon are you training for?
i'm going to do the chicago one October 9th.

jpo - what marathon are you training for?
i'm going to do the chicago one October 9th.
I am training for the Marine Corp Marathon in DC, Oct 30, 2005.
It's going to be my first. I've been running for years almost everyday, and the most I've ever done has been a 5k. It's about time I push myself. I know I've been ready for a long time.

I dunno if I forgot to check in yesterday, but anyway I'm right on track for all my cardio. did my LISS both days :tu:

Ran ten miles this morning. Had a breakfast beforehand and energy was noticibly better. However, I feel soreness in lower body from yesterday's weights workout. I am going to have to figure out how and when to work the weight training into my running schedule so that I get some recovery time on the legs.

jpo - i say dont work your legs while weight training. but maybe you're supposed to, so who knows.

instead of running today, i drove myself to the ER.
ear infection woke me up at 5am.
worst pain of my entire life.
now i have these nice painpills that knock me out. :tu:

7/11 of 30

3 miles this morning.

still sick as a motha

:d_frown: Sorry you are sick Wh0!

Did my LISS yesterday morning, nothing today because it's my day off... and I'm living in a sauna anyway - I'd probably end up with heat stroke in 2 minutes. :spaz:

no cardio yesterday, did strength workout
Today 50 mins treadmill :tu:

Starting the week off with a new treadmill program
More hills, more speed

50 mins treadmill :tu:

I want to do this, with the summer I have been slacking in the cardio AM. I want to burn 1000 calories each cardio session.

Wow, 1000 calories a workout! Welcome to the challenge kritic :gl:

Still sick today...

I'll be doing all my marathon training sessions fasted (except for the saturday ones - that'd be insane)
So based on the schedule you see in the link, that's when i'm going to be doing fasted cardio.
I'll be biking 20 miles on lunchhours i dont lift, but that doesnt count.

6 miles this morning.

Was too tired to do am cardio :( . Will definitely do cardio after work.

Justitia-Where are you?



Out of town for a few days--I know it's no excuse. But it was a little tough to get to.

Got home last night. Up this Am and got to gym at 9:00 am--45 minute LISS (my cardio goal)

Thanks everyone for posting!!!!

It is so motivating ....

And thanks Phillygirl, it was nice to be missed.... :o

did 3 miles today.

8/14 of 30

Justitia-Glad to see you back
whO-Glad your feeling better

Did step aerobics this am-45 mins. I'd forgotten how intense it can get. It was good though :tu:

well... i tried to run and all my leg muscles decided to lock up and fail right away. i DID get 1 minute in though.

Any advice? i also made a thread about this. i need to fix it, but i dont know what the hell is going on. it's very scary.

No cardio today, off day.

Just got back from 30 minutes of LISS. Usually I do 45, procrastinated and I have an appointment.

Did my weight workout last night for the first time in over 2 months b.c of leg pain. It seems to be OK

arm movements in aerobics felt good to my doms infected upper body, so I did it again

45 mins aerobics :tu:

i think i'm going to duck out of this thread.
i have no problem with the motivation side of getting outside and doing cardio in the morning; quite the opposite actually (i go crazy if i can't run - like right now)

too many injuries, too many rest days - too unpredictable.

hm, I think trying to get 1000 calories burned was a bit of a fantasy than reality, ran until the treadmill said 450, and started cramping up, so I brisk walked until 500 burned on the machine, and then hopped over to the elliptical and it said about 200, so that was around 700 burned today. On lifting days I will continue MISS (moderate, heh) and on off days do the high intensity, almost an hour trainingl about 45-50 minutes. Each time I will try to burn 10 more calories, so next time the machines combined will be 710(not counting cool down calorie burning period) and then I aim to condition myself to be able to run until I burn 1000 calories in 45min to an hour

4 miles this morn'

HA! i always do that...
i quit, and then the next day i want to unquit.
i might be bipolar.

ok, i'm going to try to run again.... WISH ME LUCK!!! im so scurrred.

whO-glad your giving it another chance. You probably just need to either rest or not do your usual workout for a few days.

Me-No am cardio today, this will be my rest day. The weather here is nice today, so I'm going to go for a nice long walk mid-day.

See ya tomorrow :d_tongue:

ok, i did 3 miles.
tuesday when i tried to run, my legs DIED after 200 ft. of running.
today - they were completely fine for the first 1.5 MILES!! :D but then they tightened up, cramped, etc.
never died though, so i was happy with that.

i think rest is what i DONT need. rest is what got me here.
i need to stretch, and slowly get back into the swing of things (plus drink TONS of water)

3 miles over here.

Yesterday, Wednesday, was a travlel day-- I am on a trip to Houston--so no workout yesterday.

But today I was up in the AM but did not hit the gym until 9:30. But I did my 45 minutes of LISS :tu:

50 mins treadmill :tu:

3 miles outside - no cramping :D

off day today. did my weights workout instead.

12 miles today. Nice day, not too much sun.

beautiful day!
i did get a sunburn face though...

60 miles of biking, + 2 hrs of tennis = 2560 calories burned through cardio today.

meant to post earlier aerobics today-45 mins. :tu:

ran 7 miles fasted.

did 3 miles this morning. I think I slept the whole day yesterday. I don't know what's it about long runs for me, but they just leave me drained. It could have been also that I got 5 hrs of sleep the two nights before. I have to work on getting to bed on time.

got a late start, and was hungry, but i did HIIT fasted, did a good sweat

No cardio today either. 3 days in a row. Did not feel well when I woke up.

But I did do my weigth workout today, though that is on another thread :D

6 miles this morning. or I hope that was 6 miles. I have no way of knowing really. It took me around 2 hrs to do what I knew was a 12 mile course this weekend, so I went for 1 hr this morn, figuring that was about 6 miles.

Did Am fasted cardio today -- a little late in the morning--but it still was AM :cool:

12 mile run this morning. Felt really good. Having oatmeal the night before always gives me a boost for my long runs. I love the stuff.

Went for a jog outside for the first time today, it's been striclty gym locations for the past 5 or 6 months, and it felt great! I even wore a (gasp) sleaveless shirt outside. Also learned a few things -

Pro's:
Feels damn good
Much less boring
Getting a tan

Con:
Forgot to bring headband... got blind 15 minutes in from sweat in my face
I'm not sure what it is, but it's nearly impossible for my to stay at 75% HMR, I was constantly going over into 80% and over. Could this be because of the heat? Who knows
Nowhere to put my water bottle or iPod.

My headphones also started falling out of my ears since I was sweating so profusely. I'll make sure to wrap the headband around my head and ears to prevent sweat and fall-outage.

All in all it was very fun, and I will continue to do it that way.

Cardio will be done today, just not am fasted. Trying to do laundry before the rest of my complex wakes up and I have to go food shopping before 90 degrees hits. I hate hot weather. :cool:

Till tomorrow

today I weight trained and then did 3 miles on the treadmill. Non-fasted.

I haven't worked out in a few days and I see that nobody else has logged into the challenge. Is it over? :d_frown:

ran 4 miles this morn. Been on track with my marathon training. Yesterday was cardio-free day.

Hi Jpo, glad to see your still here. I'm trying to get out of my rut <sigh> I'm gonna get back on track tomorrow.

Yeah, just get out there. Sometimes exercise helps me get out of the rut.

i'm still pretty much on track with my marathon training too.
altho - i didnt do it today because my heartrate was elevated when i woke up
and i didnt do it tuesday because my calf hurt.

i figure the running that really counts is the long runs saturday.
havnt missed one of those yet.

ALL running counts. But you gotta take a break when things go wrong.

Finally back in action. Cyber hugs to my fellow philadelphian for inquiring about my well being.

Treadmill 52 mins. :tu:

It's Sunday and not am, but I worked out 45 mins aerobics :tu:

treadmill 52 mins. :tu:

I had to pass on AM cardio yesterday and today :( . Elevated HR and insomnia are my signs o' overtraining so I am having to take a rest (and hating every minute of it!)..

I am hoping to be back to it tomorrow but all depends if the insomnia is improving. Starting a new job soon and I need my sleep! :)

43 mins. aerobics :tu:

stationary bike today :tu:

no cardio today-off day :d_smile:

Well, after being AWOL for a couple of weeks, I made it to AM fasted cardio today: 45 minutes. Really energyless. SHows how lack of exercise can take its toll rather quickly..particualry when one is older. :lol:

treadmill 50 mins. :tu:
Justitia, glad to see your back.

I haven't been posting on this thread for a while. In part b/c I stopped consistently doing cardio for a couple of weeks during our heat wave. But I am back doing it now for almost 2 weeks. I've been posting on my fitness journal thread. But I'll start posting here as well again. If anyone cares to rejoin the action...that would be great! :D

AM fasted cardio today. Slept too little last night,too hot and humid here. Rather energyless cardio. But now I have done 6 days this week, though Sunday was to make up for a missed day last week. So my goal us 5 days a week of cardio so I have met my goal for 2 weeks. :tu:

Did fasted cardio today, Saturday, even though my plan does nto call for cardio on the weekend. Wanted to burn off some food I was sort of trapped into becaus eof a social occaision whose plans changed at the last minute. (Originally we were supposed to each bring our own food for an evening picnic in a park to watch an old silent Buster Keaton movie and then it thunderstormed. SO we went to a restaurant instead.
