Let's Post our Daily Exercise

I went to POUND for the first time since my surgery. Fun!!!!

badger

Happy anniversary, Mary! Give Mark a hug from your "Sculpted Sisters."

70 mins @gym tonight - all treadmill ==> 470 cal burned. TY Miami Sound Machine!

Really feeling last night's stability ball elbow circles in my abs tonight, in a good way. (Kneel in front of a stability ball with your forearms and elbows on the ball, hands clasped. Roll the ball forward until your legs are extended and your body is in plank position, toes tucked. Brace your abs and make small circles to the right with your forearms, as if stirring a pot.)

Supper with mom 2moro so that's my rest day for the week. Keep up the good work, everyone!

2FUN

I smartly took a break today. Was really tired from yoga last night and put on 10K steps at school. Was 90 degrees in our classroom. I'm wiped ouy. Will try again tomorrow.

Badger, I can't picture the exercise. But it sounds like a killer! Great job!

Wonderland

Everyone is doing so well! Love reading all the posts.

Walked/ran this afternoon. Hot Hot Hot. Waiting for cooler weather.

Ran to the post office to send out a couple things. Now on to my laundry

ruthbru

Subbed in my favorite grade and subject (7th grade American History), stayed around to watch the Homecoming parade, zoomed over and walked the puppies & am now off to a football game. The joys of small town life!

Falconer

I woke early this morning and did 30 minutes of yoga, then came home this afternoon and napped. 2Fun, I'm with you. The classroom heat is a knockout!

Wonderland- good for you to get out for a run in this weather.

Brutersmom- congrats on the shrinking waistline!

Mommyof2- glad you got a run to the PO.

Badger- you always amaze me. I haven't been to a gym in twenty+ years. I'd be laughed out of the locker room as I would be looking for the stair stepper.

Ruth, do you find that you sub often on Fridays?

Yoga class for me in the morning. Happy weekend everyone

M0mmyof3

Between going to the post office and my laundry I did over 3000 steps today,

badger

LOL Falconer, they can laugh all they want. I'm at a point in my life where I care not!

I did the exercise on my knees as I'm not strong enough (YET!) to do it while in plank.

ruthbru

Yes, Falconer, for some reason Fridays and Mondays are peak sub days .

I am trying to convince myself into doing a pilates DVD while watching the 10pm news......

Peregrinelady

In Oregon, dropping older DD off at college. Walked on beach for an hour. Felt like a good workout on a beautiful, sunny day. Also walked around campus quite a bit. I think the exercise ball would be nice to do at home. When I did it at physical therapy, I felt muscles that I have never used in my entire 55 years.
Ruth, I had to have a sub for the last 3 days. A good sub is a treasure. Fortunately, my sub was a former paraprofessional who knows the kids well.

ruthbru

That is a fun reason to need a sub, Peregrine!

I did the pilates DVD I was contemplating, so can now virtuously watch the monologue of Stephen Colbert from the recliner.

Wonderland

I walked around our county's agricultural fair tonight with dh, dd, and her friend. I'm scared of heights but talked myself to get on the ferris wheel with them at the same time the fireworks were going off. Thank goodness I had the bear to cling to. The fireworks were so close and beautiful!

I stepped out of my comfort zone and entered a flower design in the Small Standard Flower Show at the fair. The judges are certified by the State. It's the real deal! This year's theme was "At the Movies." I entered the Fright Night design that required a mass design with dried flowers and it had to be scary. Mind you, I had no idea what a mass design was and had to look it up! I just had fun with it and received an Honorary Mention - there were only 5 entries in Fright Night so essentially I received a Participation Ribbon

Heidihill

So cool, Wonderland. Badger, good core workout. Falconer, they still have the stairs steppers at my gym. Some things are just classics. Brutersmom, waist-shrinking is the holy grail. Congrats

Did over 20,000 steps dancing all night at my 60th birthday bash. 

badger

Wonderland, good for you for stepping outside your comfort zone - twice! Congrats on the ribbon (love the eyeballs) and LOL on the bear. Did you win it at the fair?

RE: gym, everyone has been super nice. To my knowledge, no one has laughed at me. At least not to my face. ;-)

I was self-conscious at first because I huff & puff, sweat like a pig, and get red in the face, but then I saw that happens to the fit people too. I see the younger girls working out and hope I'm providing an example of fitness at any age. If I can do it, so can they.

Happy Birthday HeidiHill!

ruthbru

Happy Birthday, Heidi!!!!!!

Great picture, Wonderland! And congratulations on participating! If you don't participate, you can't get a ribbon (which could be a good metaphor for trying just about anything in life).

Brrrrr.......cold & windy here. I am soon off to the fitness center for a Zumba class followed by Yoga.

Falconer, good on the yoga. Brutersmom, great to see results - good for you. Cheryl, sent you a PM! I've been busy with course work, teaching and perfecting BB#78 for launch. Good to read everyone staying active. Have a terrific weekend everyone!

Happy Birthday Heidi!!! and yay for shrinking waistlines Brutersmom!

I am in LA visiting my grandkids so my exercise yesterday was chasing after them :-)

This song always gets and keeps me going. In my mind, it's "our" theme song:

I think it's true that we've all been through
Some nasty weather
Let's understand that we're here
To handle things together
You gotta keep looking onto tomorrow
There's so much in life
That's meant for you

Get on your feet
Get up and make it happen
Get on your feet
Stand up and take some action
Get on your feet
Don't stop before it's over
Get on your feet...

Falconer

Wonderland, sweet pics- I love the fair.

Heidi hill- Happy happy happy birthday! Glad to hear about the 🕺🏼🕺🏼💃🏽💃🏽-ing!

Ruth, your weather posts help me know what's on the way, and, as you know, the humidity is crushing.

Went to yoga this morning and then up to school to chaperone for homecoming. My shoulder aches- perhaps from yoga class? But the humidity does seem to make everything worse. I should receive results from the bone scan Monday. I see the MO for my monthly Lupron shot. I'm pretty anxious, tbh, and even though I'm trying not to go down the morbid path, well, you know.

Glad to see you're all keeping well with exercise!

2FUN

I went to a ymca farther from home for aqua exercise class. Was very good to be able to move thru a greater range than I can on land. My implant felt like it was floating away from my body, definitely a different density than my original!

Thanks for the ball exercise clip. I do something like that, but just move the ball from front to back. It looks like a good variation.

I'm officially 10 weeks post exchange and I can only maintain weight bearing thru my extended arms for a short amount of time. ..uncomfortable!

Vargadoll

I have been following this thread for months. I creep along with you very active ladies. I just can't seem to get my act together. I run around like crazy and get 25,000+ steps. Prior to surgery I was attending 3 or more zumba classes a week and walking 5 miles everyday. I want to get back there. I just keep reading and following along and think you ladies are amazing! It had just been hard to get back to my routine. I need more sleep and I have my second sinus infection since I finished radiation. Again, not my normal. 2 sinus infections in less than 4 months. Makes me worry about flu season!!! This to shall pass I just needed to whine to a few people who will understand.

Brutersmom

KB870 Hope you feel better soon. I went with a friend to a fiber arts festival. Then the gym 30+ minutes of work out. 10 minutes on the lateral elliptical. That one gets me every time. The to the grocery store and now to work on some costumes for a community show.

Vargadoll. I developed pneumonia after radiation. The surgery and radiation wear you do and reduce your resistance. It will get better.

badger

hi VargaDoll, we do understand. Did you know that 25,000 steps is nearly ten miles? I'd say that's GREAT!

Sorry about sinus infection, hope you feel better soon. Same to you KB870 ugh D&V. Sometimes rest is best.

2FUN it was months before I could reach items on the top shelf of the grocery store much less bear weight on my arms. Glad you found an aqua exercise class.

IMHO this is the best thread on BCO. We welcome all, regardless of age, stage, or level of fitness. I started out very slooooowly and was in awe of the more active people. It took me quite a while to get to where I am now and I still have a long way to go. Nevertheless, I persist.

ruthbru

Falconer, I am aching all over and I KNOW it's from yoga! And I haven't even gone back to my challenging class yet.....I've just been doing the shorter, gentler ones.....

2FUN, ten weeks isn't very long; time, patience, and work.......

Vargadoll, Welcome!! 25, 000 steps is pretty amazing for anyone! You will get back to your normal, but also give yourself to slow down a little and let your body catch up. Make sure that you get a flu shot this fall (after clearing it with your doctor if this is your first one post-treatment).

KB, hope you are feeling better!

We're babysitting two dogs this evening and just got back from a doggie walk.

ruthbru

This is awesome......

badger

Found this on another thread, it's AMAZING! Old time movie stars dance to Uptown Funk.

What a pick-me-up. Don't believe me, just watch. (With the sound way up!)

ruthbru

That was SO fun, Badger! Man, those people could dance! It makes me want to watch a bunch of old musicals!

badger

Wasn't that great!?! Here's the URL (with 33 million views) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M1F0lBnsnkE

I lugged it at the gym today, just did 30 mins TM. Will have a good long workout 2moro.
