Let's Post our Daily Exercise

Hi there.

I have done my 10,000 sterps today and that is  roughl;y 5 kilometers, not to mention lots of cals!  (about 500).

Lovely sunny day here in London

20 minutes on some new machine at the gym (bastard son of a treadmill and a stepper and an elypitical), 5 minutes on the erg (recovering from injury), 20 minutes of physical therapy/strengthening for the right shoulder/lat/neck/rotator cuff (from an injury) and the left pec/rotator cuff (left over from surgery/implant 3+ years ago - never ends). Trying to save my knees so that I can actually do Tae Kwon Do tomorrow night rather than poop out early like last night because I'd run earlier in the day.

Tough getting old - especially on tamoxifen!

Lorrie,

Climbing is actually the only thing that helps my chest feel less tight.   I do wear  a compression shirt and sleeves when I climb, but so far it has not caused my mild le to flare up.  When I started climbing again after my mast, I built up slowly, so as not to overwhelm my lymph system.  So far so good!  

I also had a total hip replacement a month before my inital bc diagnosis.  I think climbing has helped my recovery from that surgery too.  Now it is my non-surgical hip that bothers me.  Ah well . . .

I went to pilates this morning and am just about to go for my lunch hour walk. 

Cheers!

Oh boy, this is a great thread. Especially since I'm JUST NOW getting serious about regular exercise. My oncologist has been telling me that women who exercise are less likely to have recurrence than women who do NOT exercise. Sooooo.....I got a new bike this weekend. Actually, Faithandfifty has inspired me to start riding. I'll NEVER match her distance, but I've gotta start somewhere. I've been riding 30 minutes everyday, so I have no idea how far that is. I can't get the crazy odometer thingamajig to work. I'm hoping to work up to more each week.

Good luck to all!!

Thanks Snookums---come join me:) We'll get a bicycle built for two

I'll let you drive though....LOL

Tae Kwon Do class tonight. Good sweat and hot flash sweat.

Now, if I don't go to sleep soon I won't be able to go to the gym in the morning and will have to go after work and I don't like that as much. But I L O V E my new running shoes so it's more of an incentive to go.

Sleep is what I'm missing. (DH is away and I just don't go to bed when he's gone.) So I'm way too susceptible to food - eating way too much. Not enough exercise in the world for what I ate today.... Oh well.

Hey Lorrie--yeah, I know what you mean about the hot flashes sweating over the sweat flashes....uggghhhhh

Do you mind my asking what brand shoe you prefer? I have Nike, New Balance, and Reebok, but none of those REALLY feel just right.

Thanks Lorrie...I may check our Academy Sporting Goods here in town. I'd like to try them.

Ok Ladies......got out and rode my bicycle 7 miles this morning. Even got DH to ride with me. We stopped by the local Sonic and got a big Diet Coke......yummmm. The temp is a wonderful 75 degrees, so that sure makes it easier:)

(((hugs to all)))

Sorry to report I have not exercised today! Raining cats and dogs, that's my story and I'm sticking to it.....LOL.

Hope some of you others have maybe done a little extra on my behalf today:)

Can I join??? I have always been active, fell off the wagon after lumpectomy  and chemo-got back on during radiation, fell off again-- am now taking swimming lessons (helps with the joint pain) and walking and lifting weights---

Had my swim lesson this morning-maybe about 13 laps... will try to take a walk at lunch today depending on meetings....

good health to all--- exercise is the best medicine!!!
