I need inspiration and encouragement and maybe some accountability! SO . . .Today I am going to take the dog of a long hike, them tomorrow Body Pump and Monday yoga!

Going out with the dog is my main (or only?) excersice. But I try to press the best out of it (poor dog!) I take at least a couple of 1.5 miles a day and I walk as fast as I can. I live at the countryside so no worries about looking silly
"Power walking" I understand it is called. I am sure I am burning some calories with it.
I have an old crosstrainer at home, without display and programs, I intend to use it too.
I am not losing weight very fast but a couple of pounds are gone and all this walking makes me feel lighter and better. It is a good feeling! Keep on moving and thinking about it and you will feel the improvement before your scale does!
Good luck, sexykima!0 -
I avoid the gym.. but here is a typical week for me:
Walking 2 giant dogs 1x/day - anywhere from 25min-1 hour depending on time available
Martial arts practice 4 days, 1 hour (this typically burns 600-1000cal/hour according to HRM)
Bodyweight exercises 2days - Pushups, situps, pullups.
My diet is anything that fits in my calorie goals... Lot of portion control going on with some foods!0 -
I go to the gym and do the elliptical machine. I am also just trying to be more active at home. Doing light housework etc... (but I never count those calories). I have no problem exercising, but I never get full so watching the food intake is tough.0

I run a couple miles to warm up and then pop in a DVD...either the p90x or insanity workout. It is great because it is always something different which helps work all muscle groups and doesn't cause boredom! Good luck everyone!0

I usually ride my stationary bike but have been in hospital for a few days, had to have surgery which will limit me to walking only for a couple of weeks. Anyway am still committed to my health journey and joining in this challenge.0

p90x and running0

Weight training 3 times a week for 1 hr. at the gym. 2 or 3 days cardio (treadmill, bike, or eliptical) for an hr, in addition if time permits.0

Trying to get a good schedule going, doing swimming on a Monday night, swimming Tuesday nights, I have 2 horses, one I have to do 7 days and 1 2 days a week, I have a Saturday job with horses now, 9 hrs of hard work! Plus I need to schedule in a couple of gym sessions a week. Sundays will be Yoga to work on my flexibility and core, and maybe a swim if I feel like it0

Lee lambdas 12 week challenge. He lays out the entire 12 weeks. I wake up and work out.0

Usually I use my recumbent bike and Wii fit. I do a lot of swimming in the summer. This weekend I put a new floor in my living room all by myself (including moving everything out and back in and ripping out the old floor)so I counted that as my workout lol. I did get help with the piano though.0

I've been using the Daily Burn App. Just finished the 8 week True Beginner program and started the Move!. And got my vivofit yesterday. Hoping the move bar will help me combat sitting at a desk 8 hours a day. :P0

@Silverdracos Let me know how well that works. Desk job kills me here too... Sometimes I look at the clock and realize I haven't moved more than my fingers for 3 hours at a stretch.0

My schedule is still all over the place right now. For the mist part my exercise consists of mostly walking. Will try to add some upper body exercise this week.0

A friend signed me up for an online training program. It was originally designed for military, law enforcement and mountaineers, but they recently came out with a program for the over 45 crowd. So I've started that. Its kinda a crossfit workout without high impact work. So lots of lunges/pushups/situps etc then next day is hour-long cardio. So far, its kicking my butt, which is great 0

I am trying to jog/run at least 30 mins every day and my university has some free fitness classes such as yoga and kickboxing that I just signed up with. I'm also trying to make some small lifestyle adjustments to be more active overall. A lot of my classes are three or four flights up and I've been taking the stairs instead of the elevator so hopefully that will help as well.0

Sounds like fun, simbersea!0

I just make sure I get my 10,000 steps in and I do the bikini mama workout. Its only 12-20 min. Short enough that I know I van stick with it.0

Well bwmalone, I will tell you that an hour passes faster than you realize LOL. I've found that a trip to the mailbox or around my apartment building is enough to get rid of it. At work it's a little harder to be inconspicuous. (Would you go away so I can run around the warehouse in private? This bar isn't getting any shorter) It IS pointing out that I'm in better shape than I was three months ago. There was NO running to the mailbox and back without gasping like a fish on the bottom of the boat before I got started.0

Hiking, biking, trying to walk to work more often, Pilates, yoga and various gym work outs. Going to the gym is not a favorite, but weights are a must for strengthening and weight loss.0
