1. My regimen

6 days a week: 45 minutes cardio (stepmill, elliptical, or bike)
Alternate weights 1 day back/bi, next chest/tri
last day just cardio


I also walk everywhere and I'm just naturally jittery. That's why I can eat 3-4000 calories a day.

3. A big calorie burner for me is...

playing with my dog, Kato. He is 8 months old, weighs 85 pounds and is a high energy dog that needs to burn it off or he goes nuts.

2. As of now, i only do 45 minutes a day on the treadmill, or walking

outside. I'll be bringing my old weight bench home from my mother's house soon. I'm making room in my basement.

6. I am thinking of starting the same weight program

I was doing in prison. Put a huge amount of muscle on. Stopped lifting once I got paroled.

4. I used to be an avid weightlifter

Not a body-builder, I only got up to 150 pounds, but grad school has made it tough to get to the gym, although I've been considering going on the weekends.

I do have my priorities though, I still manage to find time for:

Tuesday: Ultimate Frisbee Game
Wednesday: Racquetball
Thursday: Soccer (but I really suck, so I don't get to play much)
Saturday: Racquetball
Sunday: Racquetall

God bless university intramurals. The seasons on ultimate frisbee and soccer are almost over, but I play racquetball year-round.

One of my racquetball partners now wants (and wants me) to take up squash.

5. 50 min pilates 4 days a week and 45 min walks 4 days a week.

I end up walking and doing the floor work one day a week.

They're both meditative. That's what's kept me doing them for a year and a half.

7. I'd like to try pilates and yoga.

One day i might take a class.

10. If you're shy, classes can be rough.

That's why I stopped going to classes. (see post below.)

8. Pilates!

Hi Pcat,

I just started doing a Pilates video yesterday. Was curious to know if you took a class, or if you use a video (which one?), or if you just do the exercises on your own (or some combination of those)?

I'm in Bangkok and have a really hard time getting exercise, though I do try to swim four or five times a week for 30 minutes. I can't really walk much as I choke on the smog and wilt in the heat. But swimming is pretty meditative as well, and I think Pilates will suit me well.

9. I went to a couple of classes and was embarrassed.... so DVD now.

I'm a "real woman" - i.e. size 12 and okay on the body fat meter and such, but not a twig. (Bone structure from hell... a rib cage designed for playing wind instruments at 7000 feet....) But I'm also a little... shy. Self conscious. It doesn't help that my county has the lowest rate of obesity and the highest rate of female underweight in the nation....

But I digress...

So I'm using two different DVDs, and neither are what I started with.
I stared with Jennifer Pohlman's Simply Pilates, which is good but the the last exercise... (Rollovers... these are hard if you're not flat chested....) My review is at Amazon.

I'm now using The Pilates Body book and the Pilates Body Kit (which are audio cds since I really didn't need the visuals once I got past the basics.) Both are by Brooke Siler. Those are used 2 days a week. The other two days, I'm using Colleen Craig's Pilates On The Ball, but I've modified that one - I have a very delicate wrist so I have to be careful on several maneuvers.

I recommend all three highly. It's so good for posture and core strength and it doesn't make me sweaty and stinky... two things I don't deal well with.

13. UPS :)

I push/pull/lift a couple thousand packages (anywhere from letters to 70lbs) a night, 4-5 hour shifts, with a little heavy lifting (up to 150lbs) thrown in at the end for the irregular packages that can't come down the belt.

It was better when I was loading, because I would get a cardio from moving around in the truck, but now just my arms are nice and toned, but I'm a little flabby around the tummy.

I need to get into the weight room at my apartment complex and start working everything out.

14. Try to keep it fun...

Monday - 30 minutes walk/jog
Tuesday - 1 1/2 hours in gym, core work, 45 minutes cardio (treadmill or elliptical), stretching
Wednesday - 30 minutes walk/jog
Thursday - 1 1/2 hours in gym, core work, 45 minutes cardio, upper body resistance work, free weights and machines, stretching
Friday - in gym, 1 hour swimming
Saturday - 30 minutes walk/jog
Sunday - 2 hours in gym, core work, 45 minutes cardio, boxing (heavy bag), upper body resistance work, stretching

I will sometimes mix this up, but it's varied enough to keep me in the game.
