    What exercises have you all been trying? Everything brings me out of my comfort zone lol. I have been working on real push ups while I am home alone and have been thinking of signing up for a 5k.

    oh, I am no spring chick. But twice a week I do 14 bicep curls using 15 pound weights along with seventeen tricep pushes using 10 pound weights (I need to get 12 pound weights). Twice a week I do thirty pushups, supporting my hands on steps and my feet on the ground. Twice a week I do four sets of fifteen glute exercises using bands. Six days a week I do cardio while I watch tv. I have a cd playing simultaneously with a tick tock sound of 126 beats per minute, and I go up and down a step while I watch tv.

    Simple. I was a PE teacher for 20 years.

    Oh wow. That's cool that you were a gym teacher!!


    I can't do push ups... it sucks haha. As for the new exercise, definitely taking the Zumba course was out of my comfort zone. But I'm so happy I did it!

    I just looked at my fitbit dashboard and it said 70,490. But that's huge to the fact that I did my Zumba Training.
