What is or was your exercise for the day??

Some boss lady swam the butterfly for longer than I was in there!

BS at golds gym

gardening and pole dancing

I am nearly 100% dependent upon my local YMCA pool for my exercise. As well as general fitness and weight loss, I am bound and determined to walk comfortably on my bad feet and arthritic left knee. There are three elements to my routine, walking, swimming and leg exercises. Over (right now) a 42 minute session, three times a week at the moment, I alternately walk for 75 yards (3 laps in this pool) and swim for 75. In between, I do sets of 20 reps of leg exercises from high knee raises, leg kicks, scissors, circles, etc. Not only does that work the legs, it gives me a chance to get some air. I count on the buoyancy to keep impact down and the water's resistance to work it. At some point, I plan to start using webbed swim gloves I have for more resistance but not right now since I only restarted this on April 2nd when I retired. On days when I don't go to the Y I try to exercise to a lesser extent using a resistance band and my treadmill. I just turned 60 and retired. I have time for this now. I have to get this right. I have no more room for excuses anymore.

CrossFit (and it still kills me) and 40 minutes on Precor elliptical

Went for a brisk walk for 45 minutes. Its getting so cold and ugh with the rain (just UGGGHH!), I think I might buy an exercise bike or do some exercise videos for the next few days.
