Let's Post our Daily Exercise

Just when I feel like I'm doing such a good job I see Mary and Lilac doing 7mi and 10K runs and Claire doing 25 mile bike rides.  There's some tough competition here!  As for me, I mowed the lawn and we also cleaned out the garage today.  Yeah! because it really needed it but it may have been a mistake to do that much the day after I walked over an hour.  My feet are killing me and I just want to go to bed.    

Lyzzysmom that's making me nervous when you say your jaw feels tight.  I think you should check it out.  Better to find out now if something is wrong! 

Ladies,thanks for your concern.  I see the trainer who is also the head fitness guy and a physical therapist tomorrow so will show him what happens on the treadmill. If there is no mechanical explanation I will definitely ask the doctor. When I have done a stress test before (as I get palpitations sometimes) they never run the machine fast enough for me to work up a sweat, no more that 4 mph so I can walk not jog. Then they tell me everything is ok! 

Anyway I did the cross trainer machine today for a full hour and burnt 600 calories. I could not find the remote for the TV so I managed that even thought there was a political program going on in front of me and I prefer sports or something mindless to stare at when I am exercising!

It was a glorious afternoon so I did a 3 mile walk to the local lake and took my camera that I had bought a new lens for. I took pics so it was very leisurely but between that and the cross trainer I did 6 miles today .. and yes I did have a KitKat!

10/12- spent some time reorganizing the closets today which resulted in a lot of moving around and lifting, but still got a nice 25 min walk in today.

Tomorrow I am going in to meet my personal trainer at 7 a.m. for a work out before I got to work! A new routine I am doing on Mondays to get my full training sessions in each week. 

Mary, excellent long run in less than stellar conditions. Odie, good for you on reaching your weight goal and singing up for 5k now - also really good.  Cheryl, no, I'll not be at the June SS meet-up, yet know all of you who are, will have a terrific time!

Thanks for the kudos on the 10k yesterday and taking a day off today.  I feel great, yet raining and windy all day so I''m catching up on chores and chilling at home , meaning, not going to step tonight.

ZUMBA!

One hour of LiveStrong classes and lots of stretching.

10/13- hour of resistance training with my personal trainer before work today!

walking and hills today, and had a swim tonight!!!

I think the climbing is at least as impressive as the number of steps. Just glorious scenery. I need to get back out and do something, but anything notable will wait until the weekend.

I got in my 2 mile walk yesterday just seconds before the heavens opening. Long day again today, so will just do a walk plus weights and crunches. Back to work and a very early start to get everything done. - Claire

Great pictures Heldhill, where is that?

Walked the dog last night, ran with him this morning. Hoping to get some core work in tonight.

Gorgeous pictures, ladies.

Went to my class this morning. We have been having subs due to the fact that our teacher is off for some medical stuff....happy medical stuff actually....she has been trying to get pregnant through invitro; and it has worked, now she has to lie low for a couple weeks to make sure everything stays planted (my term). Anyway, the sub today was very good (college student from Cheryl's Australia, so of course she would be good!). We did cardio the whole time, so I am contemplating trying a class tonight called 'Muscle Max'. I will report back if I do.

Stretching, light weights and balancing at my livestrong class today at the YMCA. Always feel refreshed after it. On Friday this week I'll be traveling to Mexico to visit my parents so I will miss my class for two entire weeks. Be back on Nov. 4tth. I also won't have access to the internet so I will miss you guys. But I'll try to "hear" the voices from afar.

10/14- just did a short walk around my client site today for 20 minutes but the first time I have done this and going to do it every day while I can during the next few months I am there. Tomorrow I am doing a double work out as I am not on site for the client and also have personal training. More on that tomorrow.

Teacher64- my personal trainer is big time into the kettle balls. I am learning to like them too, they are one heck of a work out!

It was so nice out that I had to go for a walk this afternoon. I TRIED to go to the 'Muscle Max' class at the YMCA this evening,  but they had changed the time without updating the website (or their paper schedules, or the master schedule posted on the wall).....I arrived as they were doing the cool down. Came home & did a toning DVD. I would have been pretty mad if I lived on the other side of town, or out of town, & had driven in for that class. Things would be done a little differently if I were The Boss of the World!
