Do You Have A Regular Exercise Routine

Like everyone, I find it hard to find the time and energy to commit to.

Keep an eye on Freecycle in your area - you never know when an elliptical machine's gonna need a new home!

I don't, but I should get back in the habit - I have a stationary bike that I can use. Elliptical machines and treadmills are awful, scary beasts - they either throw me off, or tangle my feet, but the stationary bike I can stay on long enough to actually benefit from. I have half the sense of balance that a normal person has, so I kind of need to hang on when I work out!

I was going to the gym 6 days a week prior to Dragon*Con to reach my goal weight (which I did :love:).

Now I've scaled back to 3 days a week. :)

Ahhh well now we know why you looks so fantastic:D I wish I could commit to something like that.

Awww thanks Anna. :o

It's hard work but totally worth it. My new goal is to be able to do one unassisted pullup. :D

I walk and jog with the dogs most days, and am building up the jogging part slowly. And i am also going to join the new gym near home when it opens up :D.

I am amazed at the ammount of people that don't do any regular exercise :(.

I plead guilty.:( No reason really, just been lazy. I was hoping to get
some inspiration from PT.:)

I confess to being a bit of a couch potato, at times i get the urge and start exercising, i used to use my treadmill every day and did so for over 18 mths, but then some health issues stopped that,now it is a clothes hanger for sure.

However i have decided to exercise doing something i enjoy,and that is dancing, which i incorporate light aerobics into my session, i try and do at least 30 to 60 mins a day if possible and now i am planning on starting to swim a couple of times a week.

Both of these i enjoy, i really think you have to find something that you do enjoy, otherwise it becomes tedious,and a painstaking chore.

Okay, Liz - we can inspire each other! Maybe we can goad each other into some sort of workout, starting Friday?

Here at Concordia, we have a gym where I can use the machines any time and on days where it isn't raining or snowing, I can walk down to our pond and walk around it for as long as you want or just sit on a bench and read.

:D:D:D:D:D:D:D!

i cancelled by gym membership when I broke my foot. Good excuse, huh? I love the gym, once I get to a routine, went 3-4x a week. Probably after NY's, but no resolution, just a thought. My butt could use it. All my weight goes POW, right there.
