in Fitness and Exercise
I went hiking through swamp land in at Myakka State Park! I've even got the wet books and wrinkled map as evidence. Grin.

So, where or what did you guys do today? I thought it would be fun to share and see what else everyone is doing for exercise.

    I like yours better than mine:
    - 2.5 hours in the kitchen before sitting down to breakfast and a coffee
    - an hour in the sun working on my tan
    - half-an-hour of weeding
    - got the washing in to be sorted and put away later
    - an hour washing the car
    - another half hour putting mulch on the garden and watering various parts
    - nearly another hour in the kitchen then finally sat down to dinner

    And that's a rest day!

    Forty minutes with my bike on the bike trainer. I used the tougher gears as much as possible to increase my thigh muscles. I was afraid of being late to church if I took the bike outside. :wink:

    I did 50 mins of No More Trouble Zones + 2 sets of 38 squats with bicep curls (3 lb weights) = 59 mins total.
    Then I took my kid to the mall and we wandered (aka I made him walk with me!). I bought my first FitBit, the Ultra model (on sale at Brookstone from $99 to $79!) and then we wandered Walmart while he picked out a toy and I perused the workout DVD section.

    No pics today.. the only one I took was of me showing off the new smaller sized jeans I tried on! LOL

    I'll be hitting the gym with the husband as soon as he wakes up from Sunday afternoon nap.
    I'm thinking I'll run/walk for 3 miles, trying to increase my run time, then do an incline workout for 1/2 hour.

    I wish I could have worked out today. Lol. But usually I do kick boxing on Sunday. Followed by a total body strength routine.

    - an hour in the sun working on my tan

    I can do without the weeding but that sun tanning sounds nice. I'm going to have to make sure I do that next weekend before it starts to get cold down here.

    No pics, but a buddy and I hit up back, biceps, and abs today. Did the following:

    Warmup - run up the stairs (20 steps) and walk back down ten times
    Pull ups - four sets of 10 (wide grip, neutral grip, chin-up, and mixed grip)
    Plated preacher curls - four sets of 12
    Torso rotation machine - four sets of 12
    Front Pulldown machine - four sets of 12
    Cable bicep curls - four sets of 12
    Decline crunches - we did four kinds.. straight, alternating sides, crunches and then tossing an 18lb med ball, and knees-raised crunches on the ground.
    Back extension (machine) - four sets of 12

    Also did something I thought of and coined the 9-point toss. One person stands on a Bosu ball (round side up), the other person passes a medicine ball to the person standing on the Bosu. Should be 9 passes, high/middle/low left/middle/right. Two runs each of that with a 16lb ball.

    Finally we cooled down with 10 more flights of stairs.

    I rode my bicycle for 81 minutes today. I don't know how many more autumn days I'll have for riding my bike before the SNOW comes. So today I thoroughly enjoyed my ride. No pictures....

    i have a question for you... are people in their cars generally rude to you when they come up behind you?
