The Y is working out well, but Sig is a little out of joint.  He thinks gyms are a ripoff and just going for a walk is enough, why pay for more. Well, there goes his invite to the heated pool, steam room, and jacuzzi  ;)

Walked for 30 minutes, then took the bus home.

Walked for 30 minutes, then took the bus home.
...and again through the streets of later on in the day.

whew!  I'm whupped  :P    I'll tell you what, if you feel out of shape, it takes a lot to get back in shape, but once you get a routine going, you begin to look forward to it, isn't that right Erin? 
tonight I broke out my push-up bars for doing deeper pushups than with your hands on the floor. here's what they look like & I knew it was gonna be hard. geez!!  I did 10 and that was a struggle. I ended up doing 5 sets of 10, and then used the resistance bands for arms and shoulders, & then I did lots of stretching and about 50 toe/heel raises to strengthen my previously injured achilles tendon. softball season is coming up in late Feb or early March. I'll be on 3 teams to start the year,  playing on Monday & Wed nites and 1 weekend tournament a month, so getting this 51 year old body in shape is crucial.

A pleasant walk to a friend's house and back home again.

no I haven't tried them, nort seen them before. they look cool and probably a good workout, but I probably wont get them since I have some old ones that work for me.  :)

A walk for about 30 minutes in a misty London, it was nippy out there

I walked a block to the theater and a block back to my car.  that had to have burned 1/4 of a dew.

Off for a walk now, back later.

worked out with weights & resistance bands last night. I'll probably do some more in a few minutes.

I walked for at least 30 minutes, with a couple of rests on the way yesterday, but coming back home my back was very nasty.

just a short late night workout with resistance bands

A brisk walk for about 15 minutes, and do a few exercises in the afternoon.

vigorous cart collecting. :P

I ran up 5 flights of stairs! I'm still not quite sure what came over me.

I always used the stairs at my old work for precious minutes of your break were wasted waiting for the lift.

Tried to keep up with a 2 year old.  ;D

Good exercise for the both of you.

I walked yesterday to pick my car up from the mechanic's garage.  Third time in as many months.  At least it's good for exercise (and exercises the money from my wallet as well).  (Not that my wallet had a weight problem to begin with, unless you count the thousands of receipts, business cards and membership discount cards I carry to fatten my wallet up.)

Pretty soon I am going to go for a walk outside, since the weather is mild today.

All the real exercise I did was yesterday and it was just walking.

I don't think I'll be doing much excersize in the parking lot cause there is a chance of rain.

yes you could call it that.

took the girl out for a 15 minute walk last night...to be honest it was more of a 5 minute walk for she just wanted to sniff the ground more than she wanted to walk...  ;D

we'll try again tonight I think.

I love those...I wish I could afford one.


I am getting ready to do some aerobic tape...but I am getting very frustrated. As much as I am exercising/watching what I am eating/etc....I am not losing any weight. I don't think I am meant to be thin. :-\\

I love those...I wish I could afford one.

probably something that you have to get used to for awhile..before it feels comfortable.

i love that machine too! i really need to get my fat ass back to the gym

Positioned my niece-- nearly 2 years old on my back, proceeded downstairs to be "the pony" .....trip trapped thru the living room 3 times or so til toddler screamed for no good reason and we sat down on the sofa together.    If that isn't exercise I don't know WHAT is.

what a fun Aunt you are. come summertime, you can take her to the pool and swim with her on your back hanging on to your neck. I used to do that with Julie when she was little. I was sort of like a giant sea turtle that she could ride around on in the pool. gosh I sure do miss that, and now she's grown up and living in a college dorm.    why do I tell these stories when they make me sad  :\'(


anyways, that was a strenuous form of exercise Michelle, you and your niece,  but probably will never make it as an infomercial

The is a music event happening close by (a recording for the BBC), I will be taking a walk there to investigate.

I got an elliptical at sportsmart for $135.  The most exercise I got was putting the damn thing together. I think I got my wires crossed because it says I burn about 100 calories even tho I can only stay on it for about 5 minutes....  ;D

I walked the girl 1/4 way around the block last night... we have to work up to doing the whole block

I went to Curves gym this morning

I just did my new Biggest Loser workout DVD. It kicked my butt! ;D

How long have you been doing it and are you getting results?  Would you recommend it?  I would love to get it, then again I just want Jillian to be my personal trainer.  She would definitely kick me into shape. :D

I just recently purchased this one. It is cool because it incorporates Bob, Jillian, and Kim...in 3 different levels, plus includes some past contestants on the show. It's called, "Biggest Loser: Cardio Max"..and if you do all 3 workouts it runs about 50 minutes. Let me tell you..it KICKS YOUR ASS. I was sweating like crazy! I just started doing it, but I would imagine that if I keep up with it..that this one is definitely a keeper...it makes ya sweat. I also have the Biggest Loser: season 1 workout DVD...it's a good one too. I'd like to get all of them, so I can mix it up.

Oh, and as for wanting Jillian to kick you into shape...I wish the same thing...she's an awesome trainer! :)

BTW, I found the most recent Biggest Loser DVD on Amazon.com for only about $11. :)

A few floor exercises nothing to taxing.

Biggest Loser workout (1 hour)

Well I intended to do some yesterday.  Set out for Curves gym yesterday afternoon but they were shut when I got there!

Hey, me too! :D

I just did the 20 minutes on the treadmill, and tried to use the elliptical. Sadly, I just can't. My feet start going numb and then my ankle starts hurting.

So I guess I'll just stick with the treadmill. I burn more calories that way anyways. :)

Did about 20 minutes on the treadmill this morning.

Nice one. Yes the treadmill is just such an easy way to exercise (especially when watching the television). Setting it up is most of the battle for me, lol.

I burned about 120 calories (hopefully eliminating the bottle of Coca Cola I drunk, ha ha).

All the best with it. I am about to do some more while watching 'Married with children'.  8)

Jessica Rabbit?  What happened to AlbaBiel?

I did my 1 hour Biggest Loser workout again. I am stoked because we are getting a membership to the YMCA pretty soon. YAY for changing it up!! w00t! :D

Yeah, it is definitely a lot easier on my ankle and I like it because I can set it to the pace that I want. I listen to my iPod and watch the people through the window. It's remarkable what you can see while exercising.

No worries on my end about setting it up. Our building has a gym. :D


Jessica Rabbit?  What happened to AlbaBiel?


You got me.I mentioned last night that I hated Alba and Biel, and Erin suggested Jessica Rabbit, and this morning it was changed. ;D

How is that workout? I've been thinking about getting it.

How is that workout? I've been thinking about getting it.


There are a few different ones. I have the first season workout, it's nice because you can custom your workout (by adding warm-up, low intensity, high intensity, boot camp, muscle strength training, cool-down).

I also have the Biggest Loser Cardio workout...it has 3 different levels that you can add (with Bob, Jillian, and Kim each taking a level). Let me tell you...it gives you a great workout...the Biggest Loser workouts make me SWEAT! I feel that they are already starting to work, as I have noticed a change in certain parts of my body (firmer, stronger). I say....go for it Jess, it's definitely worth the money.

BTW, if you go on Amazon.com and look up "Biggest Loser" under DVDs....they will all come up....and most of them are pretty cheap (around $10-$15 each). :)

Sweet! I'm going to have to invest in them once I get some extra money. I am impressed at how good they are on the show when I watch it. I almost want to try out for it, but I'd hate to be plastered all over the television.

I did the Richard Simmons toning earlier. I forgot how effective he is, at working out my legs AND keeping the kid quiet and in his room. Jason HATES Richard Simmons. I don't know why. :D

I wished we lived closer...we could have tried out for "Biggest Loser: couples"....because you can be like: a couple, two relatives, two friends, even two strangers. I would love to be on there too...what a great experience that would be!!

Yeah, it's a tiny gym. ;D

It has a treadmill, an elliptical, a stationary bicycle, freeweights, a bench, and one of those nifty toning machines. Eventually they're supposed to put in a flat screen television, but I'm more apt to watch the people go by outside. :)

Do you pay rent for the gym facilities, Jessica?

Do you pay rent for the gym facilities, Jessica?


Kinda. See, the building is full of condominiums for sale. So you buy a place, and you pay assessment fees each month ($200, or about 100 Pounds), which pay for maintenance, water, the doorman, and the gym. It is in our building, so nobody can walk in off the street and use it unless you're a guest of one of the tenants.

Do you currently own your rent your accommodation?

A few floor exercises, nothing to taxing.

It is very gorgeous. I love that they kept the outer part of the building old fashioned (circa 1928), while modernizing the inside.

Rice's brother owns it and we pay the assessment fees and taxes. There is no way we could afford to own our place right now. ;D The assessments and taxes balance out to about how much rent we paid when we lived in Indiana, except now we live in a much more convenient place. :)

Today will have to be just general movement around my home.

Just got back from a six mile walk with a friend.  My legs ache

Another half hour on the treadmill

A long, leisurely walk around the neighborhood.

On Friday I walked home from Lord's (Cricket Ground) it took me 42 minutes.

Mowing the lawn, which I did yesterday.

A slow steady walk through central London yesterday.

A short walk this morning, but I am due for a longer walk this afternoon. I better take an umbrella with me.

Walking close to 3 miles...with my mom on Thursday night.

A twenty minute walk on Friday, I hope for a longer stroll tomorrow.

Well, I did a lot of walking around on Friday, and yesterday I walked my dog and mowed the lawn.

Getting back into the swing of things....I did my Leslie Sansone walk/jog DVD today.

Wed night I walked a 30 minute mile.  Last night I did a 1/2 mile in about 14 minutes

A brief walk around Hammersmith

I walked from the bus for about 1.5 miles .....to the pub where I consumed a big steak and drank several beers...and then walked the 1.5 miles back to the bus (much slower). Walking can be tough!

Yes...I am lacking that discipline required for success. Even when I went to the gym (some months ago now)...I grabbed a small meal deal at McDonald's on the way home.... ;D  (just before I ate my real dinner/meal)

lol I had a happy meal at McDonald's last month. A small burger, small fry and a milk... and one of their McApple turnovers. Then I made the mistake of going online to read the calorie info and was appalled to find out that I had consumed 50% of my caloric intake for the day and I was still starving!

those mc apple turnovers are lovely if im in work at 6.30am i call in to get one and some tea

:D

walked around the park

Bowling... yesterday. O0

ran 17 miles
swam 100 lengths of the pool

and then you woke up and said exercise schmexercise.....WHERE'S THE CAKE.....no wait....that was me!  ;D

walk/jogged 1/2 hour on the treadmill.

The Chief of Police decided to buy our department two memberships at a gym so we can go work out for free (two at time)  I went today and learned how to stretch properly.

Got on my treadmill....or should I say threadmill...there's something wrong with it the thing that you walk on...I'm so technical  ::)  is rubbing against something and shredding on one side. Its so annoying. I did about .25 miles but couldn't handle the sound so I went out and walked and almost got run over by some guy doing 40 up the hill....


I managed to walk about 2.5 miles...that my total for today but 1.75 of it was tonight the other .75 was earlier today.

I did two forms of exercise today:

1) Bowling
2) Walking the dog

is it actually possible to burn 500 calories on an elliptical in 15 minutes?  I was doing about 13 mph.... and covered 2.3 miles.... maybe my calorie reader is broken

is it actually possible to burn 500 calories on an elliptical in 15 minutes?  I was doing about 13 mph.... and covered 2.3 miles.... maybe my calorie reader is broken


I just looked online and it says that on average you burn about 13 calories per minute...so I only burned 195 (that's really disappointing)

I did about an hour's worth of mowing the lawn. Now THAT was a good sweaty workout! :D

I haven't done much exercise since having my op about four weeks ago except a bit of gentle swimming.  Technically I'm not supposed to do anything until I've had a check up with the doc but that's not for another week.

A walk across the Thames and back.

Dancing...last night.

is it actually possible to burn 500 calories on an elliptical in 15 minutes?  I was doing about 13 mph.... and covered 2.3 miles.... maybe my calorie reader is broken


I barely saw this, but it depends on how much you weigh.  I weigh ALOT, so if I were to hit the elliptical for 15 minutes,  I'd burn almost 360 calories.

Here, this website helps me calculate what I burn:

As for me, I haven't exercised in two days because I fell and injured my leg really badly.  My whole weight landed on it, which is substantial, so I'm out for another day or so before I can pick up my exercises again. *sigh* :-\\

thanks for the link I will check it out.

as for me I did 10 minutes on the elliptical yesterday, I have been walking about 2 miles a day Mon-Thur because my stupid classes are on opposite sides of campus and I keep having to go back and forth and then back again.  >:(

GREAT SITE! That's exactly what I needed !!!!! Karma for you and your sore leg!

Does working the remote control count as exercise?  :-\\ :P

Does working the remote control count as exercise?   :-\\ :P


I had to put new batteries in to our remote control yesterday, does that count as exercise?

hey the fingers get fat too so yeah it counts...if you didn't exercise your fingers then your rings wouldn't fit..... hey look at me.. I'm typing. That's like finger aerobics... Man I must have dropped a ring size posting on this board alone... Actually  i do much typing I think my fingers might be anorexic.  ;D




I had to put new batteries in to our remote control yesterday, does that count as exercise?


that would be an exercise of the mind...first you have to remember where the extra batteries are (or you have to remember to pick them up at the store)
Then you have to remember what size to use.
Then you have to figure out how to open the compartment
then you have to figure out which way they go in.

yeah that counts O0

I returned to school August 4 (to defer students loans). I take two classes M,T, W, & T then I work 10hrs ea  F, S, S, and 5hrs M before class.

As a result I have little time to lie around and watch TV or hang here.

On the days I take classes I manage to get 2.5 miles in....that has something to do with the distance of the classes and the way I spend my time in between.


Anyway, on Aug 4 I had squeeze into the desk...it was really uncomfortable and it was obvious. 
Today I sat in the same desk I always do and realized I kind just slid in ....
My belly still touches the table but there is was no restrictive aspect to it... yay me.


Plus I pulled out my Tae Bo tape and did that for 25 minutes tonight.

As soon as I am out of classes in sept I'm going to set up my wii and wii fit... I would do it now but I fear my school work would suffer if I did  ;D



 

I stretched for about 15 minutes before my softball game last night, and then I did a couple short runs to the outfield and back, and then I played a 7 inning game

A brief walk this morning.

this morning, as with most mornings, I went for a 2 mile bike ride.

Just some light stretching after waking up.

Walking my dog, yesterday afternoon.

Nu Step cardio rehab day

I danced around my kitchen this morning to Rick James and DeBarge--if that counts.  :(

It'll be an hour of dance when the Best of Soul Train comes on tonight.  ::)

A walk to the kitchen to make a hot drink.

Toiling in the garden yesterday.

I just bought myself Callanetics on Ebay. I had the original tape in the 80's and remember it being the only exercise tape I enjoyed and that had results. It has suddenly become hugely popular in the U.K again so I thought I'd give it a go and see if it is as good as I remember!

I have that tape still... I should pull it out.

Half an hour in the gym yesterday, and half an hour this evening

I just did about 30 minutes on the Wii...

I unlocked the "Free Step"  10 solid minutes of stepping to the beat. The goal is 800 steps I did 957 on my first try.

Plus I did 6 minutes of the beginners step and 12 minutes of advanced step ...and 3 minutes of Jogging.

I took a walk in an area where no cyclists should be.

We have a problem over here with biketrails.  They have these biketrails that have a lane for bikes and a lane for walkers but there have been some avid cyclists who think they will be the next Lance Armstrong weaving in and out and causing all kinds of mayhem.

I did walk for ½ hour today, nice and slow, and always looking around just in case.

Half an hour at Curves gym plus stretching.

Shared/side-by-side pedestrian cyclist lanes annoy me.  As a cyclist I hate pedestrians walking in my lane and as a pedestrian I hate the cyclists on my side. >:(

Yesterday I upped my Wii step routine to 20 minutes... I did 2004 steps in that 20 minutes plus 15 minutes of yoga & strength training.

I walked for a good forty minutes, but took The Tube back home.

Treadmill for 1/2 hour = 2.5 kms

My local station is closed so there looks to be a walk for me today.

Treadmill - 2 miles at a quick pace

Took a long walk early this morning.

I looked at my Wii this morning and thought.... oh yeah! I forgot all about  you. Its been busy here. (okay not really)

Just took a long walk around the new huge Shopping Mall

A walk yesterday and another walk will be taken today.

Does it mean to say that no one has done any exercise since November 14th 2008?

Well I'm not sure if it counts, but I lost my dad in Wlamart 2 days ago and spent 3 HOURS walking around looking for him.

I found him!  ;D

I was working out with a 5lb dumbbell while i was playing poker on the computer 2 nights ago

So you are getting your exercise elsewhere now?

I supppose so... lately tho only my fingers have been getting a work out  ;D

I just did a 30 min workout with weights, nothing to heavy or hard since I'm a bit out of shape from sitting at my desk all day and then coming home and laying on the sofa.  my arms feel tired but I did get a good pump from just doing a lite workout. I also did a few sets with resistance band

2 miles on the stationary bicycle, 2 miles on the elliptical

Walked for miles on Saturday and Sunday. 

Did some swimming this morning.

lifted some weights last night

I do Pilates 3 times a week, last time was yesterday morning.

If this counts for anything, I walk the equivelent (sp?) of about 3 blocks every morning to get from my parking spot in the deck at work to my chair at my desk, and then back at the end of the day to leave.

I lifted weights (Chest & Back) and then did some Aerobic Exercise in the Pool

walked/jogged for 45 minutes today around the track.

I went for a 2 mile walk

Did Shoulder Shrugs with 360 lbs.

:D

A 30 minute walk.

I just found out that the track I've been walk/jogging around....is 3 miles for 8 laps..and I've been going 6 so far. I decided that starting next week..I will go 8. :)

I walked to Shepherds Bush, but had to take the bus back home.

Did my Abs of Steel workout this morning. Somehow I really hate hearing that Barbie doll tell me that if I continue with the workout, I will have abs of steel-implying that my abs will look like hers. What she doesn't say is HOW LONG before that happens-I have been going at this for a while (but took a break when we went to Philly).



Cat

I walked for the bus today.

Played tennis yesterday late afternoon
