There are two things of which I am certain regarding fitness: (1) I like a variety of workouts - walking, kickboxing, strength training, etc. and (2) Unless I am accountable, it is relatively easy for me to lose motivation and slide off of the proverbial wagon. Can you relate?
This is what I propose - a thread where members can check in daily and report on their day's fitness activities, regardless of how much or how little you workout on a given day. Walking, running, weight lifting, yoga, dancing, gardening and so much more - it's all good and it all counts. Anything that gets you moving and increases strength, flexibility or cardiovascular endurance is well worth reporting.
Permit me to get the ball rolling . . . I walked approximately 11, 500 steps today (as measured by my pedometer.) What did you do? :drinker: :flowerforyou:

I did 35 minutes of strength training using resistance bands and body weight exercises! Yay me cause I hate doing strength training, I like cardio, but it was getting too dark to go for a walk and I missed my lunch walk :bigsmile:0

Welcome sreese4! BTW, all you guys rock - despite feeling tired, rushed, etc., you still found the time to do some activity! I'm really enjoying reading about the diverse activities fellow members are into. (It's so damn cool I don't even mind dangling a prepostion!)

It was a rest day for me too...:happy:0

I'd love to join you all. :-)
Today, I kept up with two 2-year-olds, including running around the house for about 10 minutes at a time & "rough housing". :-) Total ACTIVITY was probably a few hours. I'm getting over a cold & still hack up a lung if I try to do any type of workout where I get even a BIT out of breath, so technically it was a rest day.
(I have a 2 year old AND I babysit another 2 year old)0 -

I didn't check in yesterday because I was busy deep-cleaning my house and organizing it all day! But that was my version of a workout yesterday. LOL
Today is weigh-in day and I'm down to 212.4! That means I've lost 15.4 lbs since started MFP on July 29th... a total loss of 28.8 overall. I have also gone from 41.3% body fat when I started MFP to 40.5%. That's pretty darn good in a month! :-)
Hope everyone's doing well today.0 -

I did another 45 minutes on the elliptical today. It felt awesome. Usually, I'm ready to just give up after thirty minutes (that's my usual time), but I kicked a lot of butt today. Fifth day in a row!0
