Do you exercise?

Everyday, I walk around the block with Elvis.

When he gets older I'm going to take him jogging with me in the morning.

I just joined Curves 3 weeks ago, and I really like it. It makes me feel better just going. I can definatley tell a difference when I don't go.
I have the Taebo tapes, haven't done them in forever, but also have the Leslie Sansone tapes to and I really like those!!! But I have trouble doing stuff on my own like tapes. What I really need to work on now is the dreaded D word. icckkky

I used to exercise alot, when I was 10-11-12, and then I broke my foot 3 years ago (when I was 13) and it still bothers me all the time, if I walk alot, like if I go to the mall I have to wear a bandage on it for 2-3 days.

I would love to jog and Jasper would love it too, but I don't think I can But I do swim alot when it's warm enough.

My cousin also goes to curves and she LOVES it and my aunt wanted me to start going with her, but Im not sure...

In addition, I've started doing some 'walk in place' tapes/DVDs at home that I really enjoy. They are by Leslie Sansone and they're called "Walk Away The Pounds". They come in 1-, 2-, 3-, and 4- mile series: some are walking only, some add weights, and some add an abdominal belt thingie. (I've just got my first in that series and haven't figured it out yet, *blush*. ) I also have her 1- and 2- mile series done to Christian music for when I feel like a change of pace.

I LOVE WATP (Walk Away the Pounds)!!!!! I alternate the 4 mile Super Challenge and the 3-Mile Fat-Burner, but I only use the weighted balls, I haven't tried the belt thingie either! The 4-Mile doesn't use weights at all, and I feel so energized after it.

I have also started running a couple of miles on a treadmill a few times a week, just for some variation! But I feel that I need to do more - my fitness level is improving but I am not really dropping any weight (I actually have an appointment with the Doctor tomorrow for my Thyroid etc, as I am having problems with it), so I am hoping that is the reason that I am not losing weight.

I did nothing until I was 38 - which is quite some time back in the past, then I started with jazz dance. I used to got twice a week but now I only go one time but then for 2,5 hrs.

I walk all the stairs that come in my life (which was 3 floors * 6 times yesterday in the office )

Without exercising I would loose my shape, I'm quite sure.

Since January, I've been going to Curves three times a week. My main reason for starting was a loss of strength since I retired five years ago. I know I'm more limber and it will take a while for other changes to show up. However, I'm not quiting!

I had never even heard of Curves until two months ago when my neighbor invited me, now it seems like they are all over the world and every time I mention it, people know about it! DUH! Where have *I* been? I really am enjoying it too! The support of the others is helpful and I like the changing stations every 30 seconds so no boredom - plus resistance toning alternating with aerobics! Also - all age groups seem to come - young and uh...yes even granny types, trim and slim plus pudgies. The harder you push the hydraulics, the harder you work (no weights to mess with), so it can work for everyone. It's about as fun and the E word can get - now for the D word Don't mean to sound like a commercial! I have just been to assorted gyms and do not like them. i also like to walk in the neighborhood.

I try to work out 3 times a week, sometimes it's more and sometimes it's less. Last year I went to curves, I liked it at first, then I got tired of going in a circle, now I go in ride the bikes or walk on a treadmill, or do a skiing maching for 30 minutes then lift weights and work on different areas that I want to lose in. My total work out takes right around 2 hours.

i only exersize when i on a sports team. i'm not motivated enough to go out and do it myself. but right now i'm on the track team so i run at least a mile a day during the week at practice

When I was younger I played a lot of sports, so that was my exercise. I wasn't really into regular exercising/cardio workouts until I went to college and had a slight brush with the dreaded "Freshman Fifteen." Granted, I didn't gain 15 lbs, I did put on a little more weight than what I would have liked. After that, I started working out around 4 times a week for about 2 hours each time. I've also recently started cutting carbs out of what I eat, and I've already lost around 10 lbs in just a month or so.

Plus, now when I don't work out as much as I'm used to, I feel gross.

I have gone from couch potatoe to exercise junkie, and back and forth on and off, I used to walk my daughter to school every day, but she catches a bus now at her new school, I need to and must exercise more for my health and well-being, I am waiting for the new gym to open just two houses down from my house, and hopefully I might get motivated to join., until then I need to do some walking.

[cloverfdx]

Not as often as i should But i do walk and jog with the dogs EVERY day for at least and hour.

This time last year i was going to Belly dancing classes once a week and also 2 KickBoxing classes a week i was very fit and looked quite buff aswell.

There is a class that combines KickBoxing and Belly dancing that a friend and i have been wanting to go to but have been too lazy and i cannot see us getting into it now that Winter is coming.

Yup - I exercise regularly - have been since childhood when I would exercise with my mom to Jack Lalanne's show (showing my age, I know ). I also was a (semi-professional) jazz dancer for many years and got used to working out all the time; I feel weird if I don't work out. Now I do an hour at least three times a week - a combo of calisthenics, ab crunches and upper body strengthening with dumbbells. I also try to squeeze in 90 minutes of Bikram yoga at least once a week too. Go out dancing whenever the opportunity arises and walking up and down San Francisco's hills is the best - S.F. women have the best legs because of walking our hills. I also do LOTS of stairs - I work in a three story office with only one elevator and LOTS of stairs so I'm up & down all day long and then I have stairs at home too.
