Dog walking, my doggies love my weightloss journey. Before they might have gotten 2 walks a week, we do have a fenced in yard for them to run in. Now they usually get 2 walks a day.

Yoga and Stretch exercises on the floor. I have now lost 80 lbs, and still have quite a ways to go. And to be honest it has only been in the last month, that I can easily get up and down from the floor.
Before I was terrified if I went down, I would not be able to get back up by myself.
Was doing Yoga from Chair and some standing poses, but I really feel I have made progress being able to use the Yoga mat and be on the floor.

I think I am going to borrow tinkerbellang83 idea of a charity walk this year, I like that.

I have started play squash which I'm enjoying but my knee doesn't! So I don't play as often as I'd like. But I've entered my first tournament in about a month's time so that's going to be interesting.
I walk most days and really enjoy it now. Didn't at the beginning.
And I'm joining a gym to weight train and do yoga. I do yoga in my lounge to videos, so publicly doing it will be massive for me. I'm hoping to swim as well, but I get terrible eczema from chlorine so I'll give it a go but I'm not holding my breath on that one.

Walking has been my go-to and my saviour. Getting outside regardless of the weather helps my mental state and stress levels too.

Walking, I've added so much walking and my dogs love it. I also have a recumbent exercise bike and some days I love it and some days I'd rather take a walk. Last I added dumbells and a kettlebell, but had to give those up during a recent ms flare because I kept dropping things and I didn't want to risk dropping them on myself. Early on I did seated cardio, but that's gone by the wayside because the walking was more important to me and I only had energry for one or the other for a time. I think that I could do the cardio standing now, I should give it a go.

You have come such a long way!...I can’t wait to lose as much as you have....

Where we lived two years ago, I went to water aerobics three times a week...I loved it...when I am in the water, I can compete with almost anyone!...where we live now, there is a pool but I miss the friends I had before...also, we no longer have a pool at our house...my grand daughter and I will use our community pool soon...usually only a handful of people using it....glad you are enjoying your class!

My gym is closed now so I'm off strength training for now. Been pushing myself to keep up my walking/running though. In the past 16 days I've only missed the 10,000 step mark once. I was exhausted/sore from raking for 4-5 hours the day before.

I will be spending more time learning how to use the resistance bands I purchased to assist with physio. I can use them for the PT exercises but I need them to help me keep working the other muscle groups.

I made the choice to start trying to collect used gym equipment before the virus but I have not gotten any yet. I am not sure how many garage sales will be happening at the moment.

I just got the part I need to fix my treadmill which the dog uses for exercise more than we do but that will change. I need it working for him during that bad weather too though. I am very glad I invested in an elliptical. I knew that I wanted to do cardio daily but did not want to rely so heavily on a gym. It isn't a crazy distance away but even 6 miles seems like a lot at 5am in the morning. I was getting up and going 3 to 4 times a week but that is not 7 days a week.

I've been good at getting at least 30 minutes in for walks in the last few weeks, and this weekend, I pushed those walks to 60 minutes or more. I wasn't able to get outside today, though - it was cold and rainy all day. But I did finally get myself to look up some exercise videos on Youtube that were low impact and set for beginners, and I found a beginner body weight routine from fitnessnerds that I gave a try. I did 1 circuit of it, and they recommend doing it every other day and building up to 3 reps total. I also got in an elliptical session.

tomorrow, I plan to get another elliptical session in, maybe taking a break from working at home to get it since it supposed to be raining and that could be a good way to break up the monotony at home and distract me from wanting to eat! Then I may do another one of those workout videos and instead of the weight training, see if I can get through the jiu-jitsu solo videos I found. I"m not sure I have enough room, though, in my living room for that

The hardest part of these fitness videos, though, is that I have to be really careful with anything that has me lifting my arms. My grandfather built the addition onto the place where I'm living, and when he did it, he put in only 7 ft ceilings - I can stand flat-footed and brush my fingers against the ceiling, and I'm 5'8" tall. The room is long and narrow with 2 light fixtures and a ceiling fan in the middle, and while they are up high enough I don't have to worry about walking into them, they are very low and if I stick my arms up in the wrong place, I'll hit the light or get my hand in the fan!

half of my place used to be a trailer, so he matched the ceilings to the trailer's ceilings. The only room that has a full 8 ft ceiling is the kitchen, but I'm not sure I can get enough room to work out in there.
