Let's Post our Daily Exercise

Took a walk after supper last night, it had cooled down nicely.  Got in 3.74 km = 2.32 mi before it started to rain.  I don't mind a gentle rain, especially with that wonderful scent it brings, but when it starts to rumble thunder, I head home.  Looks like rain most of the day, line of storms coming up from KC, and that's OK as we are still very dry here.  So it's indoors exercise for me today.  Will do some yoga later this morning then maybe a bout of Shred & Sculpt, lots of documents in the to-be-shredded basket.  Have a great day ladies!

DS has made it home from Florida right ahead of Isaac and the Republicans (wouldn't that be a great name for a punk rock band?! )

if you walk for 15 minutes without stopping it counts

Hi everyone, my name is Jenny and I am joining your group cause I need Help!  I was diagnosed in Feb. with BC and I weighed 159, now, after chemo I am stuck at 180 and have lost all of my former strength.  Wednesday Thursday Friday and Saturday I walked on treadmill.  I am going to do that again today.  I would like to walk outside but we are dealing with West Nile Virus here in the DFW metroplex so I am staying inside for now.  Add to My Favorite Topics   I was training for my first 5k till I got diagnosed but that is okay, I am going to get back in shape again.  Thanks for listening to me.  

Does anyone know of a good yoga video for beginners? Did anyone here find yoga helpful for chemo fatigue?

Feeling under the weather today so will just take it easy and do the strip mall walk with the girls come sundown.



Ruthbru, i would probably be motivated daily if a dairy queen's nearby ☺

hi ladies and welcome Jenny & survive2thrive.

Got in a walk after supper last night, once the rain cleared out.  Just 2.75 km = 1.1 mi but felt good to get outdoors after being cooped up inside all day.  Also did an hour of yoga when DH went to run an errand.  Got up too late to walk this morning but did get outside with my cup of coffee and see Orion the Hunter low in the eastern sky.  That means fall is coming here, spring for you Hils!

A good yoga video for beginners is Rodney Yee's AM/PM Yoga for Beginners. I just love it when he says, "Surrender to the Earth" during the warm-up relaxation!

Nothing like a little retail therapy!!

Misswim, hope you are feeling better. If you feel hurt after an unusually hard workout, it almost certainly exercise related, not something else. I always give it the Two Week Rule. I don't worry about any ache or pain unless it has lasted two weeks without getting better. (Several years ago my town was in a flood warning & they needed volunteers to make sandbags. So, doing my civic duty, I went down and made sandbags for many hours (which is actually fun, the whole working together thing). The next day my 'bad' side hurt so much that I couldn't even breathe. I promised that if I could just get better without going to a doctor, that I would never make sandbags again. It did, and the next time they needed sandbaggers I went down and made sandwiches with the old ladies at the Salvation Army. Boo Hoo. I don't like restrictions, but I don't like pain either.)

Super gorgeous day today - hope this lasts.  

Did an hour of a pilates foam roller class.  

misswim  Hope that you're feeling better and don't need to go through scans.  

ruth  I like the Two Week Rule about aches and pains.     

I did a one hour body step class and afterwards, an hour class of pilates. 

Last week a woman came up to me in body balance and asked if I had a left lymph node biopsy.  Why yes I said, with mastectomy and immediate reconstruction, on June 13th.  She then told me she too had a left mx and no reconstruction in March and raised her left arm high to show me that in time, I too could get back to where I was.  I liked it that she approached me and as a result,  less self conscious at the gym.

A quick 5km bike ride and some core and glute excercises before I head off to work. Tomorrow I promise to do more (note to self)

Youch!!!! Behave yourself, misswim!!!

Walked for an hour & did 30 minutes of toning.

40 minutes slow walk around the neighborhood.  I started out in the pit of depression and it cheered me up quite a bit.  There was a 9-ish kid whizzing past on a scooter with flashing lights in the wheels.  I finally just gave up the sidewalk to him.  Nice twilight otherwise and lots of friendly dogs.

Misswim no cancer woohoooo, now you just have to learn to chill. Heidi hope your eye is healing and don't know if I believe it about Lance Armstrong I saw a body exhibition a couple of years ago and they had a mock up of his heart and it was twice as large as a normal heart and I don't know if you've been through so much to get healthy why you'd jeopardize it, people were gunning for him so did he just give up and say "don't want to deal with it any more" I don't know but his foundation has done so much good so and that is what I choose to focus on.

Found my way back to the gym tonight and did a spin class yeahhh, it felt so good. Then did the parking lot to CCU walk, my friend had open heart surgery last thursday tonight they took out the breathing tube and they finally brought her out of sedation and she woke up, we have been so scared for her but she has been surrounded such caring health care professionals.  All of you in the path of Isaac - batten down the hatches, hope you all stay safe.

My sentiments exactly! How did you get the " internal trauma from ooph"? Did they say what it is?
