The Green Girl Is A Sparkpeople New YOU Bootcamp Drop-Out

Thursday 01.08.09 at 11:58 · Filed under uncategorized ·Tagged , ,

The Green Girl is a Sparkpeople New YOU Bootcamp drop-out after only four days.

My sprained ankle really put a damper on the daily exercises. I substituted exercises when it hurt my ankle but after awhile, I started feeling like I was just working out and not actually following the Sparkpeople New YOU Bootcamp program.

I went to the gym yesterday and managed to do a pretty intense 30 minute hill workout on the elliptical and another 30 minutes on the bike.

My ankle is feeling much better. It’s still sore when I put weight on it but when I am wearing my running shoes the arch support lessens the pain.

I’m hopeful that after 5 days off, I’ll be able to do my long run Saturday morning.

The Green Girl Has A Stability Ball Now

Saturday 01.03.09 at 18:37 · Filed under uncategorized ·Tagged , , , ,

After mentioning I don’t own a stability ball, I discovered Kmart has Weider stability balls on sale right now for $6.00. And we all know how much the Green Girl loves a bargain.

The ball comes in 3 sizes: 55 cm, 65 cm, and 75 cm. Since the Green Girl is only 4′ 10.5″, I purchased the 55 cm ball.

I’m really glad I was able to get such a good deal on the stability ball because I must admit I had no idea how I was going to improvise the exercises that required the ball. I was thinking I could probably prop myself up with my couch for some of them but I wasn’t sure.

SparkPeople New YOU Bootcamp

Thank you, Tricotine, for letting me know about the SparkPeople New YOU Bootcamp Challenge.

It’s a 4-week fitness program that involves less then 10 minutes of daily exercise. I love that SparkPeople will provide daily workout videos for this challenge.

The only equipment that is required for this challenge is pair of dumbbells and a stability ball. We’ll pretend the Green Girl owns these things.

The Green Girl Home Gym consists of:

For those of you who have invested in home equipment, what do you own? I also have kickboxing gloves, helmet, mouth guard and shin pads.

I’m really looking forward to this. I love learning new exercises and I think this is going to be a lot of run. And it doesn’t hurt that the grand prize for this challenge is $500.
