I'm a bit under the weather these last few days so am steering clear of my fitness center. But I did forty five minutes of yoga this morning and will do more this afternoon. That will be the extent of my exercise, but will do a great deal to make me feel better.

I was prepared for my Body Works Plus Abs class at the gym. (We use free weights.) I got to the exercise room only to see a sign that said it was cancelled. I spoke to a manager on my way out and he said it was last minute and no they do not and will not have an email list alerting members of class cancellations.

But, what got me was that I didn't see anyone else. I know some people come upstairs from Spin class and are always late, but there are a few regulars that come early. So, I am wondering if the instructor has an email list of regulars and notified them. I will find out next time.

That left me with only walking the dog for my exercise. for today. I have a foot injury so it makes things difficult. But, I slapped on some pain ointment and off we went. My dog really wanted a longer walk and I was able to handle it. Win/win.

Moni, 7 flights? Do you run up them or walk?

Rhizo, you are a trooper for exercising when you don't feel well.

As soon as I finish my lunch, I'm going to complete my 12,000 steps for the day. I do this every day and just now when the weather is colder than cold, I walk in the basement. I listen to audiobooks to entertain myself while getting my steps.

Going to the gym in a bit. Always equipped with an audiobook.

Getting ready to walk the dog three miles. Afterwards I go to the gym and run one mile on the treadmill at 6.5 mph and then another mile at 5 mph. I get between 10,000-15,000 on my Fitbit every day.

I've been up and down our stairs about 20 times today - does that count?

That depends, Dawn. How many stairs are we talking about x 20? ;-)

I fast-walk for an hour early morning & again late evening. This is all done inside my house from the front to back-door. Often I add on 20 minutes before lunch. I'm accompanied usually by Big Band music on the cd player or turntable (old-fashioned girl here!). Rod Stewart's "Great American Songbook" cds are another favorite. Even when I'm not officially exercising, I rarely sit---always seem to be moving. I think that takes care of any needed exercise for me.

You guys inspire me. I so need to hit the treadmill.. I also have a gym membership that I need to use. It may be a long winter.

I have my core class tonight and just doing housework today. Not many steps but that's ok given what I do the other days.

Just got back from my daily walk on the golf course, which is pretty hilly. About 3 miles and darn cold! The cold helps you burn more calories, right? Plus, I went to Walmart today. I'm sure I picked up another mile in there. :)

Skipped my walk yesterday because I had yoga class. Plus it was REALLY cold outside, and I hate to walk inside.

Walked on my treadmill for the usual 8.5 miles but it sure felt hard today. Maybe because I am trying to increase my speed.

I did the 30 minute work out and then one hour on the treadmill.

It' s surprising how far you walk in the large super stores. It's usually a half mile or more. I laugh at the stair machines at the gym because I'm up and down my long staircase many times a day.

I'm a walker...put in 3.2 yesterday, will head to the mall to walk today as it's too chilly outside.

Running and doing Pilates once a week. I'm slacking a bit on my running lately but will get back to it once this week is over and our choral program is done. I'm training for a 10k trail run in Feb and another half-marathon in April.

gyr_falcon, there are 14 steps. 14 x 20 = 280 steps if I have my math correct. Oh, and after I posted I had to go up and down a couple of more times. Maybe we should call it an even 300!

I'm so envious of those who can run and walk for exercise. Feels so good, doesn't it? I have a muscular disorder that prevents me from that...other than in the pool!

My yoga and pilates have been invaluable to me.

rhizo, I am grateful every day for my mobility as I realize that many struggle with those issues. Yoga is something I want to take up; I feel like it would help me regain some of the range of motion I'm losing in my arms, shoulders, knees, legs, spine, etc. I'm glad it's been of such help to you.

I do enjoy running, but every time I do some yoga I just love it. In my older years, I'm leaning more and more toward things like Pilates and yoga to keep me and my joints and muscles moving. I had a great yoga instructor several years ago. She spoiled me. I just need to find another and I know they are out there I just need to seek it. My Pilates studio & instructor - Wow! She's the best and could probably lead me to the yoga instructor.

Shoveled the sidewalks and driveway/parking lot. Then went to clean the Legion. This was all before 8 a.m. I deliver the flyers every week as well

I did used to do Pilates until I found out it was not great for those with bone density issues. Now, I do therapeutic Yoga twice a week. I will be walking the beach an hour each day when we go down to the Turks and Caicos. It's too cold to walk here.

Went to pulmonary rehab this am. Did 25 minutes on the NuStep at a good clip and decent resistance...and then ate a ton of Xmas goodies that we all brought in for our Christmas party!

I walked to the mailbox and back for the past three days!

I remember Phyllis Diller...her idea of exercise was a good brisk sit!
