what do you all do for exercise daily?

by the way - i do go on a daily dog walk for about 1 mile every morning. but i never count that as exercise....it's not a fast pace or anything...just dog walk/sniffing pace :happy:

heheh.....I know the feeling!!

I have a few Jillian Micheals' DVDs. She kicks your butt, so start out slow and if it has weight lifting do the first workout or two without weight until you know how your body will move. I messed up on that one and strained my knee

I also have Carmen Electra's Cardio Strip Tease. It sounds raunchy, but it's all in good fun and lets you stretch those Jillian Micheals' killed muscles! I just getting into a routine. Just joined a gym. But those two videos are awesome. That, and now that it's warm, I swim every chance I get.

I don't do any one thing daily. Sometimes I go rollerblading for an hour, sometimes tennis, sometimes a walk with the stroller and sometimes nothing..lol On the nothing days I try to uh.."bounce" around the house cleaning and stuff lol Meaning I literally jump about like a freak and dance..lol Taylor loves it!

Woof-woof-woof woof, woof WOOF!!! Woof woof wowoowooowoof woof...woof woofwoowoowoof. WOOF WOOF WOOF!

WOOOOOOOF!!! :happy:

((Translation, tell your master to take you to a local park to play ball more often! And you are doing a great job, YOU GO PUPPY!!!))

I saunter around the block with 3 dogs - now I have started taking them indivicually - they love the one on one attention and I get 3 walks in...
The benefit - I'm noticing is my fanny and waist...they are coming out of hiding !!!!!:smooched:

I'd like to get back into a routine of daily exercising before i go to work in the morning.
i typically have anywhere from 45 minutes to 1 hour and 15 minutes. i'd like to lift 3 days a week.

any suggestions on what else to do the other 4 days of the week?

i ordered the Jillian micheals Shred it vidoe - it should be ehre soon. anyone use it? anyone follow her nutrition guidelines?

any ideas would be great!!! i have about 15 pounds to lose (so far have only lost 5 - but i know it is my lack of consistency in exercise)

I don't have the Shred dvd, but I've read several posts about it... people seem to like it. They say it is a great workout. I have the Biggest Loser Cardio Max and Power Sculpt dvds. I like both of these alot. I do them a few times a week. Please let me know what you think of the Shred when you get it... I'm thinking about getting it.

I walk alot... sometimes twice a day. I sometimes bike and do pilates.

I do some sort of walking every day, and at least three times a week I go to the YMCA for a 30 minute swim and 45 minutes on the treadmill.

On the days I don't make it to the Y, I either pop in an exercise DVD (I have some older ones - need to check out some new ones!) or put on some music and dance, or go for a brisk walk around our hilly neighborhood.

I bike ride--you could burn up easy 300-500 calories in an hour bike riding.

My husband & I walk 3 miles every day. This past week I have also been riding my exercise bike. I just ordered Sweatin' to the Oldies (finally on DVD) so I'm going to add that at least 3 times a week.

Best of luck to you!

I do elliptical at varying lengths of time to keep from falling into a pattern, 35 min, 45 min and 60 min repeat.
On days when its not rainy, I do that outside on the track.
I also have a weight lifting/strength training routine that varies by muscle group daily.
IF/WHEN you sign up for a gym, most have trainers that can outline a weekly exercise routine for you in a couple of visits.
Otherwise, its not too hard to do basic squats, crunches, push ups. You could pick up a couple free weights and try doing some strength training (curls, lifts)
Another good way to lose weight is jumping rope. People swear by it! And its easy to do, you just have to stick to it and not get bored. Maybe switch up your soundtrack every couple weeks.
I read in a health magazine that the Tampa Bay Bucc's train with sandbags.
Better than weights because its constantly changing shape so you can't fall into a stiff routine, your muscles always have to account for the changing shape.
try crunches with a sand bag in a bear hug position, back straight, walk for 30 sec straight bear hugging a sand bag and for upper body switch between lifting it over each shoulder and down.
They recommend 50 lbs for men, but Im sure you could pour some out to make it easier.

Mostly I mountain bike. I'm lucky enough to have trails close to home. On rainy days or if I don't have much time I have a jogging trampoline and I will jog on it while watching a mindless TV show. I used to watch the news, but I found that it negated the relaxation I gained from the exercise and I would end up just as tense as when I started.

I swim 45 minutes to an hour 4 to 5 times a week. I vary strokes, but focus on freestyle and butterfly.

Also, really cute dog, he looks like he loves to walk.

Sometimes when I get bored with my excerise routine I throw the ball for my dog and try to beat him to it (Although he's a bit old so I'm starting to beat him).

Nothing like bonding with man/woman's best friend...and the vet told me the other day a tired/worn out dog is a happy dog!
