Well, since I call bike riding fun... guess I haven't yet exercised. LOL

Rode Sunday and today, and pushed a mower around yesterday, and rode one all over at Mel's today.

Today I walked the Lazy River at the aquatic center. Twice against the current and once with the current. Then I got a board and in the big pool I did laps lying on my back and kicking my legs. Good for the abs. Came home and took a nap. 20 min. of water walking equals 1 hr. of land walking.

I am really only doing shoulder and neck exercises. I have degenerative disc disorder between my c5 & c6 and a torn muscle in front of my shoulder on the right side. So I'm doing some stretches for that. And decided to do a plank a day. I'm on day 3 now. Not really timing them, just doing them as long as I can. I thought it would hurt my shoulder and neck while doing them, but it doesn't at all. I need to firm up my core. And my arms. And my legs. And back...... My body seems to have fallen and I need to get it back up again. ;)

Walked the dog and did leg workout. I have been avoiding workouts since I got a gym membership - last year. It totally uninspired me and had been working out routinely before joining? I am still confused by this. There is a lot of renovations being done here so I was also using that as an excuse also. Yesterday was my first real workout in awhile. I didn't go crazy because I don't want to feel it too much.

I'm glad to see that I can come here to get some motivation on the days that I am slacking! Walked 7 miles today -- cold, wind chill was the big issue, but the sun was out for most of the day -- the first day that I can remember in weeks! I had put on too much weight so far this year, and had really allowed myself to get deconditioned after a series of injuries (including broken toes followed by plantar fasciitis). I miss the feel-good of running but just couldn't seem to get myself up and out -- I guess fear of the foot pain returning had something to do with that. So I took vacation days this past week, set last Monday as the day, cut out grains, sugars, milk and legumes, and dusted off my "The Firm" exercise videos (plus a few others). So far so good -- I've alternated videos with walking, even jogged a few minutes, every day. It is back to work on Wednesday; hopefully I've far enough into the "reset" to keep my momentum after working 12 hour shifts.

I did nothing today! Walked two miles on Sunday and Monday. Hopefully the rain will subside and I can walk outside, otherwise I will head to the gym tomorrow and walk on the treadmill. In a few days I am going to start working out at the gym again! I'm really looking forward to it and hopefully none of this Piriformis/Sciatica pain will return!

Today was my day off but I try to do this every day. I walk .75 miles for a warm up and then time myself for 2.5 miles (combination walk/run, working up to all run). I can do the 2.5 miles in about 30 minutes and it's 50% walking at this point. I walk a 15 minute mile and run about a 10 minute mile. I close it down with .75 mile walk cool down. All told, about 4 miles a day.

I need to get on the bicycle more and put in a good 15 miles every other day.

I wish I had a pool to do the water stuff in. I'm not a fan of public pools and am not friendly enough with any neighbors to use their pool.

I ride my exercise bike 3 X a day, and plan to add some other exercise soon. I've been on a diet, and lost 10 lb. Actually have lost 16 pounds in all...since I lost a few before I "officially" started.

I walk the dogs 3.5 miles a day and then do two more miles on the treadmill at the gym. But I'll have to walk in the evening tomorrow because it will be 98 degrees. Even today when it was 85, they were not happy pooches.

I walk early in the morning. I need to get up to at least 2 miles a day. Right now I'm at 1.5 or so. I am just starting a diet with WW.

Every morning I walk around a nearby pond twice - it takes me roughly 35 minutes at a brisk pace.

I go to a gym three times a week and do Zumba, Group Groove, and spend time on the bike. I also meet with a personal trainer once a week for 30 minutes and spend some time on the weight machines. I've been doing this for six months now and it has made a difference, but I can feel myself getting bored with the routine. I hope I can keep it up.

Off to the gym in a few minutes...I go 3x a week, ride the recumbent bike(to keep my replaced knee limber) for 30 minutes, walk the treadmill at 3.5 mph for 30 minutes and do 45 minutes of weights, working arms, legs and abs. On the days I don't go to the gym, we walk 4 miles in our neighborhood. Most weeks I am doing something 7 days a week.

I started up again in the past three months and it feels great. I do HIIT and weights. I also picked up a book - 100 Pushups in Seven Weeks but I don't think that will happen maybe 30.

I do trail-running 3x a week for 60 minutes with 3 friends and also do power-strength workout 3x a week at a private gym.
I've been running for 35 years (before it was fashionable) and have done a few half-marathons and 10Ks. About 5 years ago I added the gym work to not only support the running but also to strengthen my core and balance so as to avoid falling and breaking a hip when I'm 80. I'm 59 now and given our longevity I'll probably still be around when I'm 90. My poor, poor kids. LOL.

Tonight is a core workout but it's beautiful out (finally) so I'm going for a walk with a friend this afternoon.

Yoga as many times a week as I can fit in. 4x this week. Just joined the Y so I can swim a few times a week too. I'm going to try one of their cycling classes also.

I'm trying to talk my boyfriend into taking a rowing class with me. He rowed in college and I think it looks like a really fun way to get exercise. No impact, full body work out, on the water!! The problem is that it's relatively expensive to join a rowing club to be able to use the boats, but I think we can swing it.
