Exercise on Christmas day. Why or why not?
Replies

I'm planning on my usual workout tonight: an hour on the mini-bike. Did 14.5 miles yesterday, plus a 1.65-mile run.0

I practiced my handstands this morning and plan on getting an at-home workout in soon. A holiday isn't a reason to not workout especially when this is the time of year for bad eating.0

if u have time you have time.. why not? I'm exercising. It's called freeze tag with my nephews! lol0

Just going to do body weight stuff like crunches, sit ups, squats, etc.
I exercise everyday because I love dancing around to music on my ipod. I don't log the calories or the time, I just have fun.0 -
i think its a great idea then afterwards you can put yourself into a holiday food coma0

I will be working out today. I have the day off and not celebrating xmas till saturday so its basically a normal day off. Since the gym is closed probably will go in the basement crank the music and work with my kettlebell. Probably do some intravals for 30mins. In my view just because its a holiday you shouldn't stop working towards your goal. Workout and consider it working off those calories you will have later. Maybe make you feel a little less guilty!!0

I ran 6 miles this morning.0

Business as usual here...0

Today is a regularly scheduled workout day...so yes I will be doing my lifts.
Probably later today but still gonna get it in.0 -
Yes I went on my moms new elliptical today. I did an hour (was going to try another 40 minutes but my dad kicked me out of their room). Not going to log cals but the more I work out the more I can eat.
Maybe I won't gain too much weight?0 -
My big meal is dinner, and I will be over calories, not too many I don't think, but way over on fat, but I currently have had a muffin (gf and vegan 130 calories) a piece of toast and some fruit for a healthy breakfast, not really going to have lunch, maybe a nonfat greek yogurt, and I'm going to run today, I'm going to burn minimum 300 calories, but hoping for maybe as much as 600 so I can eat everything and still be fine, going to run to the gym (around 2 miles) and then hang out on the ellipitical for a while and maybe walk back from the gym.0

Feeling more positive today - so started with jogging 5k's, now to the kitchen to bake pies and start prepping for dinner.0

I'm active just about everyday (nothing strenuous). I briskly walked for 5 miles and did a 20 min. upper body lifting session. I'm not going to stop just because it's a holiday. If anything it allows me to eat a little more.0

I took my kids for a walk. Well, they went on their scooters. The gym's not open today or tomorrow or I'd have sneaked off for a bit of peace and quiet!
No chance of a workout at home as I've been entertaining the kids, and the lounge is covered in their toys anyway, plus I don't think our neighbours downstairs would appreciate me jumping about above them on Xmas day!
I'll be back to gymming on Friday. Lots of classes I'd usually do are cancelled over the Xmas holidays though, which is annoying.0 -
I'm going to go for a jog. I feel like this will set the tone for my new year and new weight loss journey. Plus, I just feel like doing so. I'm not battling with myself to go. I just want to do and that shows me how dedicated I am.0

no lifting today, i did that yesterday. I want to do some cardio today.
I plan on using my stepper & this glider thingy that i bought a few weeks back & they have been sitting in the corner collecting dust. (i've been busy the past couple weeks with finals at school, getting over an illness and then i started a new job last week)
but first, more cookies... :happy:0 -
I would love to exercise. Im full of a virus and made it 200 yards on my new bike before having to pack it in :-) If you have no commitments I would do whatever you want. Interesting perspective though - for me a bike ride would be a treat lol0
-
Just finished a 40 minute body weight workout on fitnessblender.com. Bring on to the Christmas goodies!!0
-
No plans on traveling or hosting any parties today so I'm going to get ready to do my insanity workout:)0
-
I ran 4 miles today. Was on my schedule to run so why not.0
