Do You Have A Regular Exercise Routine

[Karen]

I used to have a great exercise routine, which is why is used to be in shape and now I'm not! I'm hoping to get back into some kind of a routine (I like doing aerobic exercises, and I would love to have an elliptical machine if they weren't so expensive) soon. 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 ).

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

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

Awww thanks Anna.

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

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 .

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.

My workouts consist of mostly running and lifting.... running my mouth and lifting a fork

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.
