Working Out?
I don't have anybody to walk with often these days because my limp is so bad I can't go far, but I am trying to get back to doing what little I can in exercise, here at home. I have a feeling from some of our chats that I am not alone in trying to get more active again. I thought we could put our trials and tribs in this thread and even how much we are doing to work out, just to keep each other going. :smile2:
What do you think? |
I managed to do one set of reps at a count of 5 of 10 different exercises for my arms with 1 pound weights and a handful of strengthening exercises and some stretching for some other muscles. Doesn't sound like much but for me, it's great.
|
I used my thumb on the remote a lot this week!
|
Gotta have strong thumbs!

We could all have stronger butt muscles if we would do the butt exercises while on the computer. I just find it hard to read going up and down all the time.

I did my little workout again today - because I wanted to be able to say I did it. So thanks for the community. Who's joining me?
|
My devotion to exercise lacks extreme dicipline!! But good luck to ya!!
|
Today I am under so much writing pressure I will get no workout done!
|
I went to a new chiropractor this morning and my leg did shift a little bit so I just walked about an extra 400 steps or so. Not much to most, I know, but I'll take anything I can get!
|
I've been sticking with it most days since I decided to post it - funny I picked beauty and fashion to put this under instead of health or diet - tired week! Anyone want to start walking?
|
I walked to my pc today, does that count?
I hope you continue the walking Katepoet - it's really good for you. :thumbup: |

I wake up, come downstairs and push the power button before I even start making breakfast! Computers have become so essential. I need to back up my latest work today - are you all backed up?
Today I am finally going to go out with a student's mother - about an hour drive to the student's college, lunch, tutoring and riding back here. I will have to eat food that I don't normally eat and am praying that the migraine I will have doesn't destroy the weekend. One of the things I am going to do to counter it is walk as much as I can. Walking helps all the core muscles function plus it oxygenates the blood stream and hence everything. I don't know what else to do to keep this pain to a minimum but I'm going to try. |
I'm going to my magic chiropractor in about 20 minutes. She'll exercise me - and I have to walk from the car to the office!.
How's that hangover, Sheryl? Ugh.. |
I'm pushing 53, that's enough of a workout for me! ;)
I do go out and take care of my dogs and puppies a couple times a day. When you consider that means having ten 12-16 lb puppies hanging on my ankles as I walk, I'm probably building some great leg muscles. |

Oh Tink, we must be on the same team!!! I'm pushing 53 too and I'm hoping I can push it really far!:) |
Heading for 52, myself. Wish that was the number of pounds I can heft when I do my workout... Oh well...
I added a second set today and sometimes did 2 pounds instead of 1 pound. Did a few minutes of yard work, too, and I am wasted! I can't believe I am this weak. |
I still continue to do laps back to my pc....Whew exhausted!! :rolleyes:
|
Sometimes, I have typed so much, my fingers stop working at the keyboard! Just how many calories is that??
