When I woke up this morning I got on to my elliptical for 30 minutes.
Last night I promised myself that I would pull out some of my exercise DVDs and I did. I did the 20 minute Turbo Jam workout, in my dress and all lol. It wasn't as bad as I thought it would be so I can't use that as an excuse anymore.
I also did an additional 20 mins on the elliptical before bed to boost my step count to 10K.
I have several apps on my phone to help keep myself accountable. I use my Fitbit MyFitnessPal, RunKeeper and of course SparkPeople. I decided to play around with my RunKeeper and I created a training program and I set myself up to exercise everyday at 6:05 a.m. RunKeeper is primarily for running/walking and has a built in GPS mode so you can see a map of where you have gone, but you can use the stopwatch mode which is for like indoor or treadmill. I use the stopwatch mode to track my elliptical training and I can add anything else to it. It's linked to my SparkPeople so all of my exercise that I log into RunKeeper also gets tracked there as well. The same goes with my Fitbit. RunKeeper also crosses over to Fitbit so I just have to be careful not to double track everything or it'll give me false data. At this point I don't do much with my data, but I like knowing that it's there lol.
Of course the best part about all of apps are that they are free :-).
One day at a time. One choice at a time.
I can do all things in Christ who gives me strength.
