Re: Exercise!
It's going well. The muscles around my hip are getting stronger. I am doing my normal things without pain. I'm not far from walking a mile in the pool. The aerobics in the pool is great.lawgrad91 wrote:How is that going?Very Duke Blue wrote:I'm still going to Center for Living, doing pool aerobics and exercises for my back 3 times a week.

We rode the bikes a few miles today in the freezing cold, bundled up like Nanook of the North.

Re: Exercise!
Time to resuscitate this nascent thread.
On Saturday at the Greek Fest, I saw a guy with a Greek Fest 5K shirt. One of the things on my bucket list is run a 5K. I have never been a runner, but for some reason, I have a desire to run a 5K. I haven't looked for a 5K to run in 9 weeks, but I'm sure there will be one somewhere nearby.
So today I bought the app "Couch to 5K," which is supposed to allow a person to run a 5K in 9 weeks, and I did the first workout tonight, on the Arc Trainer (the one with the moving arms) at the gym.
I hope I can get out of bed tomorrow.

Re: Exercise!
There's a clothing optional 5K run and 5K walk in Ocean Isle Beach on August 27. At least they don't have a "fun run."lawgrad91 wrote:Time to resuscitate this nascent thread.

There's a clothing-optional bar in Key West that we went to every night when I went there in '06. I had a nude nightcap each time.

Re: Exercise!
AFAIK, my law school classmate Erich Schuttauf is still the Executive Director of the American Association for Nude Recreation. I wonder if he and his family (wife and kids) will run. He wasn't a runner in law school; he was built like the Stay-Puft Marshmallow Man from Ghostbusters. Every once in a while he's on TV, talking about the benefits of clothing-optional recreation.
Personally, I wouldn't do anything clothing-optional, unless it involved a group of profoundly blind people and I was paid enough money to retire.

Re: Exercise!
I mapped out a 5.5 mile loop around my neighborhood on my bike the other night. I'm planning on riding it often. My legs hurt the other night, that was pretty sad for only 5 miles.

I can think of a few clothing-optional activities that I would enjoy. ;)lawgrad91 wrote:AFAIK, my law school classmate Erich Schuttauf is still the Executive Director of the American Association for Nude Recreation.

Of course, I wouldn't do any of them in front of a group of profoundly blind or profoundly sighted people. Some things are just better done in private.

Re: Exercise!
Last night I slogged through Day 2, Week 1 of Couch to 5K. Still closer to couch than 5K, but at least it's a start.

Re: Exercise!
Are you doing the version w/ music or just instructions? I did the program in late 09 and was able to download podcasts w/ music and instructions interspresed. The music wasn't awesome, but it wasn't offensive either.lawgrad91 wrote:Last night I slogged through Day 2, Week 1 of Couch to 5K. Still closer to couch than 5K, but at least it's a start.
I'm going to start the program up hopefully next week assuming the OB clears me at my 6 wk post partum visit.
Good luck! The big hump is around wk 6, but it's a really doable program.

Re: Exercise!
This one has music and instructions, but if you start the music on your iTouch first, it lets you use your own music. So far that's what I've done.bluebutton wrote:Are you doing the version w/ music or just instructions?

Re: Exercise!
Day 3 of Couch to 5K. Pant-pant-pant-pant.
I should've done Day 3 over the weekend but chose to walk all over Blowing Rock on Saturday and mow the front yard yesterday.

Re: Exercise!
Did week 1 day 1 of couch to 5K yesterday!!! Felt great to get out of the house on my own and move. Felt a little creaky, but not bad. I have 25 lbs to go to get to my pre-pregnancy weight.
i have family in town the next week, so hopefully I can get 30 min somewhere where someone can watch the kids (a 2 y.o. and a 5 wk old). But after that, we'll have to get creative.
In theory, I could get a double jogging stroller and take the kids with me, but it's HOT here during the day. Plus, I like having a few minutes to myself. Mornings aren't great because there's a lot of general hubbub getting kids up, fed, and Mr. BB out the door. Dinner-time is the same in reverse. i'm thinking maybe after dinner and dishes. I don't love running in the dark, but for most of summer that shouldn't be a problem. Might also make Saturday one of the running days so I get one day of the week when Mr. BB can help watch the kids during the day.

Re: Exercise!
Way to go, Bluebutton! It's a pity we don't live closer together and we could run a 5K together. Maybe virtually we could....bluebutton wrote:Did week 1 day 1 of couch to 5K yesterday!!!

Re: Exercise!
Back to the gym tonight for 30 minute express workout.
The Rev. Lawgrad is truly a . I didn't realize why he has been putting off trips to the gym so that we get there after 8 until tonight. He wants to watch Bill O'Reilly while he's on the treadmill.

Two miles of the four mile Biggest Loser Walking DVD. I found out that eight pound dumbbells don't work for old people doing aerobic activity.
