    I walk the 9 steps up to my apartment 1-2x /day, as physically at this time, that is all I can do. Just started Physical Therapy today...did a VERY slow 5 min on the NuStep. 2- 30sec/sets of 4 different lower body excercises. All of this put me into severe muscle spasms sthe rest of the evening.
    But...tomorrow is a new day....after being completely stuck in a recliner due to health issues since JUne 2012, I feel accomplished.

    I have to focus on what I can do and not compare myself to others who are able to do more. I'm very proud and happy for them. My goal is to be able to post LOTS of activities in the months to come. :)))))

    I am doing 30-45 minutes of cardio (time permitting) 4-6times a week. This inclues running/jogging/wallking/cybex arc trainer/elipitical or some combination of these. Sometimes (1-2 days) I run about 5-8miles in the park. I am currently training for a 5k which is in april, trying to log at least 100miles this month. trying to add in strength training but I hate doing it.

    IMPRESSIVE!
    I do something every day. I walk to and from work Monday - Friday which is a total of 35-40 minutes (fast paced). After work I do a 30-45 minute DVD (was 30 Day Shred - now ChaLEAN Extreme). CLX consists of 3 days of heavy lifting, 2 days of cardio plus abs and/or yoga/stretch. Chalean recommends 2 rest days... but I don't really know what that means. :-) I use an HRM and typically burn 300-400 calories a day every day working out - more if I go skiing. I let my gym membership lapse as I'm loving this routine and have been doing it consistently since the end of December.

    I JUST did week 1, day 1, c25k. Signed up for my first 5k in July. Other than that I have fizzled out on my workouts. I HAVE Nike+ trainer for xbox, Turbo Jam and Turbo Fire. I have lots of workout support but I'm good at sabotaging myself! Looking to get back into a regular routine!

    You got me Laura :) we can do this.

    I run a minimum of 2 miles per day. My goal is everyday this year and I'm on 83 consecutive days. I lift heavy weights M,W,F and sometimes sundays. I have lost 12 pounds this year and 35 over the last 15 months. I started around 205 with a goal of 165. I got down to 170 then back up to 180 and currently at 168. I am concentrating more on body fat and lifting these days.
