is there an exercise you wish you could do?

Clarecbear82

I wish I could run but due to having three children under 6 I just don't have the free time to do it at the moment. I see others running and really wish I could. So for now I have to stick to walking and dvds.

So is there anything you wish you could do and why can't you?

I wish I could do regular style push-ups and do free hanging dips without weight assist. But I'm working on it! I've already gone up (down?) and notch in the dip assits.

Is there someone that can watch your kids while you go running? Maybe you can trade with another mom to watch her kids while she does something?

I would love to run too. It is my goal for this year. I just had a breast reduction earlier this year so am looking forward to working my way up to it!

I miss horseback riding. Too expensive. I miss barn work, too. Although if I tried it right now I'd probably gimp up my back for a month.

Un-assisted pull ups, I am very impressed when I see other people do them. I'm just not strong enough yet.

robinxhope

Several yoga poses. HA!

momtimesone

I wish I could do zumba dance or some other dance cardio workout but with too left feet and no moves that will never happen LOL

CarolynB38

Push-ups, pull-ups and double jump-kick! Perhaps losing weight will help with the last one

crazyellybean

I want to run.. but I give up because I fail a lot LOL

malibulu

yes, I'd love to run. I'd love to be able to actually run... I dont have the technique, and, like you, I have 3 young children on my own at home. No one to watch them and even if there was someone, I'd need to try and get the technique mastered before I could actually run. I would like to have a treadmill to practice on so that I could build up my stamina and strength, but unfortunately its not really possible.

I'd love to be able to do pull ups!

AshDHart

I wish I could climb a rope. Even though I was a very active child and teen I had zilch upper body strength and never could climb a rope or do pull-ups. No way I can do it now with all the extra weight. But that is one of my goals. Increased upper body strength so I can climb a rope or really go rock climbing!

Burpees, sprint starts and the plank

I wish I could do lots of regular push ups... and I also wish I was one of those amazing pretzel-yogis!!!!

MissFit0101

Full pull ups

Skate. I'm just scared I'm going to fall.

Pull-ups.

Tony Horton's 10 min. workout. Im thinking about buying it, but tried the free version on Dr. oz website, but it doesn't play. Has anyone tried it? I have the middle age spread and would really like to tighten that area, like the before/after photos I seen on dr. oz.

Debbe2

Really wish I could do planks and side planks and keep the position for the time my instructor asks for.

sjohnny

Deadlifts. I have a messed up back and deadlifts will make it worse.

JennieAL

Pull-ups and 5 real push-ups. I'm doing sets of girl push-ups and they're kicking my *kitten* when I get to 10 or so. I guess pretty soon I'll be doing man push-ups.

capalm

I don't know why, but I hate them, cuz they are tough. My knees are down and it is still tough

ymhand

Pull Ups. I can't do them YET because I have almost zero arm strength.

aps85

I wish I could move fast enough to Zumba! I've got the DVD set, but there's just NO way! I'm just not that coordinated!

Mom2rh

Pull ups.

Time isn't the issue here.

I have strayed away from running because of my dang belly. Even if I wear my super duper sports bra and strap the girls down, my belly bounces too much and it makes me far too self conscious to run. I rock the eliptical machine though!

As far as physically not being capable - I'd like to be able to do a chin up - that would be so awesome!

steffiejoe

Pull ups

m0_0m

pulls ups, push ups, hand stand, and I really want to be able to do a cartwheel! Just because they look so fun and remind me of being a kid!

BlueEyedMomma88

Pushups! No matter how hard I try I just cant do them, so I have to stick with the girlie version of them. LOL

MaraDiaz

As far as physically not being able to do something, I'm still not in shape for proper tai chi. Sure, I can lumber my way through it, but it's not right. I'd like to get to a point where I can do it for real.

Have you tried running in place its something you can do with the kids around. I know it doesn't sound like much but that's what i've been doing and its been awesome. It take a bit getting used to. I also run outside when I my lungs can handle it so I know it works....



I wish I could do pull ups and a lot of plyo moves that I have yet to be able to do.
