Fitness Accountability

Rhondayalex, on July 30, 2023 at 12:10 PM Posted in Fitness and Health 0 38
So wedding is about 30 days out. I'm a bit fitness minded but have a hard time self-motivating. I do great with a fitness support group or when I'm obligated to someone to workout with.


Can anyone:1. Recommend a good fitness support forum. Or2. Want to commit to starting a fitness support group
Today: I walked the dog, jogged about a mile, then did chest presses and ab work at the gym.
I'm wanting to do something everyday for the next 30+Would love support to make sure I do. Any recommendations?

    Ali, I see where you're getting married 2 days after me. I can't believe the day is almost here.


    Have you figured out a fitness plan for yourself? How can I help you stick to your plan?
    Today pup and I walked about a mile, I jogged about half a mile then hit the fitness center for ab and arm work. Something everyday. That is my plan.

    I’ll join! I’ve been going for a long walk after work, hiking on the weekends, 30-minute strength and/or cardio workouts in the morning, and eating keto! I’ve actually been pretty disciplined about it, but it’s getting harder with so much last minute wedding stuff. Like last night I had to stay up late crafting a huge email to our venue coordinator since this is our last week to make changes, so I had a headache this morning and had to skip my workout. 😭

    Kimberly, hope you're feeling better today and was able to grab a little fitness time. I'm heading out for a jog now.

    Great job on getting a jog in! Are you in an area not really affected by the heat wave, or are does it just not really bother you to jog in the heat?


    I got a cardio barre workout in this morning, so I’m feeling good for the day!

    In NC. It was mid 80s for my jog. Manageable.


    Glad you got your workout in this morning.

    I'll join too. Mine is in 4 months but have a lot of pounds to loose. Bought my dress a while ago and have not been good with my diet and exercise, even though I love working out.

    Karla, I'd love to have someone to check-in with. I'm 24 days out. I've been doing "something" nearly everyday, though life so often has a way of getting in the way.


    Example: yesterday (Sunday) was a bust. I work night shift. So I came home, slept a couple hours then needed to go out shopping with my son. Came home, fixed dinner. Exercise did not happen. Ugh. Today is a better day.
    Tell me. What type of exercise do you like? What motivates you to do it? How can I help?

    We can certainly do that. I am working days for these next two weeks and then switching to night for a week. I love dancing, aerobics, zumba and tabata. I usually work out right after I wake up in the morning or afternoon depending on my shift. I need for someone to check in on me as well.

    Great! Were you able to get out this morning?


    I ran with the pup for about 1.5 miles this morning. Tonight I'm meeting my weekly workout trainee for full body fitness and kickboxing.

    I'm doing good. Hit the gym with my kickboxing trainee last night. It's always good to punch something. Our weight/core training was spot on too. Keep up the strong work 💪
