    I will go another round!!
    A little change up this month.
    I am committing to 3 hours of purposeful
    movement throughout the day. Prefer 1 hr morning, 1 hr midday, 1 hr evening.
    Bike, walking, elliptical (havent done that one in a while) rower, total gym.
    Walking will still be the main movement, but I want a little flexibility.
    I am a lazy mover and it takes me 1 hour to do 6000 steps on the treadmill, longer if I am walking the house. Bike is 12 mph an hour.
    I sit a lot so my commitment is to moving more, sitting less.

    So far today
    1 hr walking
    1 hr bike
    Aiming for 1 more hr tonight of walking.

    Halizabeth I dont know how my next week will go. Weather calling for teens F at night & upper 20’s daytime. We live way up in the mountains.

    However husband can take Livy (dog) & me to cemetery & we can walk sev rounds. Then we can jump in car & come home when we’re too cold!

    Good luck EVERYONE!

    I did not get in the 3rd hour on the 1st. But that is how it goes.
    Yesterday was good.
    30 mins bike
    1 hr treadmill
    2.5 hr walking at a local garden.
    I feel good about spending time with family and seeing holiday lights, trees, plants and more.

    Jeannie stay safe walking in those frigid temperatures.
    I'm inside bouncing on trampoline and doing CD's
    Missing the great outdoors

    @halizabeth Great idea to keep moving and tracking during your downtime. Feel better soon.

    Karen you must have missed my post. I cant walk in those temps! I have a 30 year old treadmill. IF I walk 15 min at a time it will not over heat. So far I’m doing 30 min a day… not much but its better than nothing!

    4 inches SNOW & freezing temps…
    NO outside walk for next week most likely!

    OLD Treadmill gives me a bit of walking & its consistent. Not like outside. I have found that 15-18 minutes x2 during the day is best I can do since I am still having sciatica pain. THIS too shall pass!
    I AM READY FOR SPRING!
