Re: Exercise!
Curves is still rocking it for me. I love that they have an individualized program that increases the workout intensity each time. Keep up the great work everybody!

Re: Exercise!
Went to the gym today. Nineteen minutes of walking, sixteen minutes of running, ten minute cooldown on the exercise bike. (I also vacuumed the upstairs this morning, which Weight Watchers counts as exercise, if done long enough!)
Now I'm really hungry, but feeling good.

Re: Exercise!
The last couple of days I've come in a smidge below my exercise target for the day, but I've done lots of walking.
I think it's time to buy some sort of exercise equipment that will allow me to exercise while watching TV. Thought about a treadmill, but I keep going back to the Gazelle glider. It's cheap (around $100), folds up for easy storage, it's a good workout, and it's quiet. Anything else I could get for the same price would be junky. Too bad I sold my old one when I moved.

Re: Exercise!
Last night I went to the hotel pool. Swam some, did water exercises, etc., for 45 minutes, then 15 on a stationary bike.
This morning I am planning to do 30 on the elliptical, provided I can get back in my room and change.

Re: Exercise!
I'm in PA now. The sisters were going to go out for a walk and before we could leave, the oldest brother showed up from TX. No walk - although I walked down to the mailbox and back up the hill.CameronBornAndBred wrote:I lifted a finger today.

Re: Exercise!
I think I'm doing this right....I went to the grocery store with my dad today and sad to say, it was about as much as I could handle physically right now. The tailgate this weekend did help because it was warm and I walked a fair amount. My goal right now is to just do something that requires some walking movement grocery or mall or up the street, whatever every day. Thinking bout getting a pedometer to keep up.

They tell me you can buy pedometers at the dollar store; the best luck I've had (and I've lost several, broken several, etc.,) is with a $5 one from Walmart.

Re: Exercise!
Forty-five minutes of My Fitness Coach, upper body. I used 10 lb. weights. Hope I can lift my arms tomorrow!

Re: Exercise!
Aside from the normal walking, my exercise consisted of toting the infamous etagere back to my car (darn thing weighs about 40 lbs) and then into Goodwill to get a refund. Also toted my lovely new Kitchen Aid mixer through Kohls to the cash register, outside to my car, and then from my car and into my kitchen. Oh, and I also did some running in place.

Re: Exercise!
It's doesn't sound like much but I walked the dog twice today, helped my mom go thru some newly acquired junque in the garage (now, where did I put that match?) and did some rearranging in my bedroom. I'm actually starting to feel human again! Would LOVE to join a gym or get a personal trainer, but the bucks just ain't there. Perhaps sometime in the near future

I had to steer a 75ft long vehicle through the construction zone on I40 east, for the 10+ miles east of Warsaw this afternoon.

Re: Exercise!
3.5 miles on the treadmill yesterday. Sister Anne and I rearranged Sister Sue's kitchen cabinets and dining room china cabinet today. Not sure it really counts but I'm not as stiff tonight as I was last night and this am.
