Daily Exercise-You Getting Any?

[bergamini]

Oops, yesterday I did a 50-minute Pilates class, 30 minutes of walking and a 75-minute run. I also did 20 minutes of physical therapy which involves 20-30 repetitions of 6 different exercises with a 3# weight focusing on my scapular region to get my shoulder good, strong and with a full range of motion again. I don't enjoy the PT but I shall do it!

Today: 75-minutes on the bike and a 50-minute Pilates class.

Took spinning tonight.

Where is Jill? I miss her in this thread.

Went 90 minutes on the bike outside and did a 60-minute "yin" yoga class, which is a slow, gentle, modality that allows me to work around the shoulder.

I miss Jill (and Anissa) too! Yesterday I did an 8-mile run in 75 minutes. I've got 2 more days to be as active as possible before tummy tuck so I better use these two days.

I didn't exercise on Saturday but it worked out well for me. I did my long run on Sunday. 1.5 hours for 6.75 miles. That is good speed for me especially I haven't run reguarly or any long distance. Half marathon in 20 days. I am just going to ring it. I will do another long run this coming Sunday.

I plan to go spinning tonight.

Walked 3 miles yesterday.

I did a 10 mile run in 90 minutes. It was cold but I had "pigged out" on some pastries earlier in the day so I had plenty of carb based energy. This was yesterday.

John, I am so envious of your running speed, you can get a half marathon done so quickly. Are you planning to run a marathon next year?

Hi all! I'm 3 weeks out fro surgery and cleared to do moderate cardio and still have weightlifting restrictions but hoping that joining you guys here will help me develop good exercise habits. So last week I managed to walk 30 min daily. Yesterday I did the elliptical trainer for 30 min. Today took a strengthening class with 3 lb weights each arm for an hour (no ab work yet allowed) and walked for 45 min. Hoping to start pilates when they left the ab restrictions.

Today: 70-minutes on the bike followed by a very slow and gentle 60-minute yoga class. Can't believe tomorrow's the day. I will post after I'm conscious. The next exercises you see from me will be 15 minute walks I'll be loving my abs (hopefully) but not loving the rest.

Yes, I did decide to register for a full marathon on Hilton Head Island in February. My pace in my first 8K at the end of April was over 11 minutes per mile, and I now average 9 minutes, and I didn't try that hard to increase my pace. Just kind of an instance of the more I do it, the faster my body gets with it. Thanks for the props

I wanna do another 1/2 marathon in June 2014.

Hi guys, thanks for asking about me John and Munchkin, nice to be missed. I have been exercising, but my life has been crazy. After the week at the beach for work, I went directly into Fund Raiser lunch mode, which was Saturday. Lots on long nights last week, but made sure to work out before heading to my friends house to set up.

We had our Breast Cancer fun raiser lunch on Saturday, I think it was a success but as of now, I am not sure how much $$ we raised. We are hoping for $12,000, that would put us at an even $50,000 for 4 years. I feel like now my life can be my own!

I missed the gym on Friday because of getting ready for Saturdays lunch. I always take Saturdays off. sunday I did Zumba. John, last night I tried a new yoga class. I have NO idea the various types of yoga, I just know I LOVED this one. I tried one at the gym and while it was "ok" it was hard for me to concentrate and do the moves. This one was 90% on the floor doing stretches and mat work, the last 10% or so, standing working on balance exercises. I will try to go back. Also did body pump last night, that schedule will seem to work on Mondays, body pump is from 6:15 to 7:15 and then this yoga class (dfiferent location) was at 7:30.

Tonite is Zumba.

side note - today is my 1 year anniversary, I was hoping to hit 100 lbs loss, but alas (due to my own issues) I made 97,. which I am extremely happy and proud of, I know I would have reached it had I been as diligent and worked as hard as I did in the beginning. Well onward and downward. Still have prob 35-40 to lose total, so I have a ways to go.

I want to thank all of you on this thread for your support and encouragement. Sometimes when I dont feel like going to the gym or whatever, I think "ten I will have nothing to post" lol. Guilt trip?

Thinking about a 5K, not sure, thats a big step!!

Wow, Jill, just awesome. You always are so courageous in going out of your comfort zone. I need to do that too. In honor of Jill, I'm going to try a Zumba class when I'm cleared! I have no rhythm, no movement on the dance floor...it will not be pretty but hopefully I will get some fitness out of it
