    So I walked up and down 11 flights of stairs the other day and my legs still feel like jello. My coworker suggests that I do the stairs again today to help my legs feel better. I am considering it because right now I feel like a penguin lol. Any suggestions for toning my arms or any cardio while I give my legs a rest on in between days?

    I really like the treadmill to do interval trading. I work on the fifth floor and try to walk the stairs 2 to 3 times a day...also try to use the stairs instead of the elevator.

    I like burning calories through walking. I have a very sedentary job so I have to force myself to get all of my steps in!
  • I like any exercise where I'm alone in my own headspace. I am attempting Yoga daily. I enjoy cardio. As a mum of three it is a challenge to find alone time. Exercise is my space. Just don't prioritise it enough.

    Hi Jazmine, light cardio helps with DOMS, and stretching, lots and lots of it!

    I tend to workout in the mornings, mostly to fitness videos (Dvds or Online), at least 30 min a day. I like walking, low impact HIIT or fusion type workouts like Barre.

    I don't have to go the gym, so I have like zero excuses! But that doesn't prevent me from being lazy from time to time.

    Is there a thread where we can check in for our workouts?

    ETA: Oops, just saw the thread!

    I haven't been exercising this year except for gardening. Sometimes this is strenuous, but mostly a lot of walking around, pulling hoses, digging, raking and the like. When I was losing weight, I was more dedicated to going to the gym. I would walk an hour, ride the stationary bike 30 minutes and then do circuit weights for 30 minutes or do floor exercises for 30 minutes.

    That's quite an exercise regimen!

    I think that after a year of that I got burnt out and that's why I fell off the wagon. Its difficult to get back to doing it once you quit.
