Let's Post our Daily Exercise

Welcome Eileen. Nihahi chinooking sounds the same as our Santa Ana's which come in off the desert and blow hot and headaches abound because of the barometric pressure. IBD you are too funny. Wonderland put a sign on the piles 'Free Firewood'

Tonight did Body Jam class. I shared this on FB - it was a fabulous class and my Vietnamese friend came to dance, so it was extra special, came out of the room hot and sweaty and pumped up with joy and happiness, then I came home and brought in the mail and I had a solicitation from a mortuary .... Like I said, I wonder if they know something I don't know

Today was going to be day off, but at last minute decided to do a half workout.  I exercised for 40 minutes and got in 5 miles!

Was extremely sleepy all day yesterday - on way to work, while at car dealership waiting for servicing (new tires), at work during the day.  Not sure why.  Went home and changed my clothes.  I was beat but had to go back out to gas up the car so, since I was out anyway, stopped in at the gym and worked out (stat bike, elliptical, weights) for an hour then went back home and was in bed by 8:30pm.  Maybe I need to only put enough gas in car for the day so I have to fill it every evening and that will get me to the gym!

HAHA inspired - that was a funny video!

Bluetail, I love my fitbit - it is small enough to stuff in your pocket, or you can clip it on to your clothing.  It monitors steps, flights of stairs, etc pretty accurately, or at least my old one did until it went on the fritz and the company replaced it.  I've only been using this new one for a day.  Before I was trying to get 10k steps a day with it, it definitely keeps me off my butt more at work, I'll make several trips daily to the main building from my office now just to get in additional steps.  And it's amazing how many flights of stairs I climb on laundry day!

Welcome Eileen!!  Patoo - good for you for taking the opportunity to get a workout in! 

Bluetail - I have the NikeFuelband - Nike's version of the Fitbit.  Mine is a bracelet that tracks steps and calories and something called "Nike Fuel".  You can sync it with your smartphone.  I bought the Nike product because I already use the Nike + Running app to track my running, so this integrates seamlessly with that.  I have a co-worker with a Fitbit bracelet, and he loves it, so I think either one would work.  As Pat says, it's an incentive to try to hit your goal every day.  

Walked Mikey last night - it's nice that it's getting warmer and he'll actually agree to walk - most of this winter he's dashed out to do his business and dashed back in as quickly as possible!  Also a 2 mile round trip walk to our favorite restaurant, but the good of those walks is always undone by consumption of chips and margaritas.   Yoga this morning. 

Hello Ladies,

I'm reporting in after a week away. I've been continuing to run a mile every other day, walk the dogs everyday, and go to the gym to work out upper and lower body on the weight machines 3 times a week. 

Hope everyone is well.

I'm enjoying beautiful weather and a visit from my brother and sister-in-law from Nebraska.

hi all and welcome Eileen.  Found a walking buddy at work and we took two walk breaks today.  Nice change of pace.  There are quite a few walkers here so I'll be in good company come nicer weather.  Namaste! ♥

Hi Everyone - Welcome to the fitness group Eileen!

There was a story on the news about someone who had a severe reaction to her Fitbit - it was due to a nickel allergy.  From everyone I know that has one, they really love them. On a random side note, last time I did the mountain hike a lady ran past me (opposite direction) and she had her cell phone stuck into her sports bra.  I wanted to tell her about some of the people who have done that, and report that as their suspicion for getting breast cancer.  I do believe it - several women on these forums have told me that their tumor showed up in the exact spot of the cell phone.  The news has also reported that keying on an ipad on a pregnant lady's belly had done something to the unborn infant, can't recall what it was, but ever since hearing the story, whenever I type on mine now I place it on a pillow and then put the pillow on my stomach.

Reporting in:  80 minutes - 10 miles

Thanks to all re: input on FitBit & the Nike device (NatsFan); maybe it's time for trip to Dick's to check them out and replace an ancient Polar HRM that's so old it was actually made in Finland (as opposed to the newer ones, made in you-know-where).  (hbcheryl--my niece lives in HB and my sister--her mom, herself a Triple Negative survivor--lives in Mission Viejo.)

Welcome Eileen.

Went to Soldierfit boot camp class tonight. An hour of military style circuit training. 

Ruth I can't tell you how many times I've gone to the gym with my pants on inside out  Dulci glad you're starting to feel a little better. Bluetail I kind of half heard/saw a piece on GMA this morning about a new fitness tracker that's coming, it's priced at $200 but apparently it can even detect everything you eat and convert all the information, yikes!!! 

Body Jam class tonight, seems all I've done this week is dance, oh well it's better than sitting on my butt....

These particular pants have the care instructions printed in BIG letters right on the butt, so anybody behind me was probably having a good laugh!

An hour of spot toning with Denise Austin.

Maybe because birthdays make me reflective, this quote spoke to me.

Is it your birthday Ruthbru?  If so--happy birthday!  

Bike to Nowhere at the gym yesterday; i may have an opportunity to get out on the real bike tomorrow morning, weather permitting.
