Let's Post our Daily Exercise

Scottie-Cleaning a 13 y/o room is definitely considered a workout, especially if the child is in the room. I have a 10 y/o daughter and we have to clean it out often, she seems to be outgrowing everything.

Ruth-It looks beautiful where you are! You must really be enjoying yourself.

Today I went grocery shopping and to the sporting goods store. I am exhausted so I may take the night off from exercise. Tomorrow is another day

Ruth, wonderful pictures!! Hope everyone is safe out n the east coast! I actually did some shoveling up at Big Bear, Ca, helping friends clear their driveway!! Wow, have not done that for a long time! It was kind of fun!! Ended up having a little snow ball fight!! 😃❄️

1/24- evening warm yoga class for one hour.

Ruth, that place looks awesome for outdoor time!

Thanks so much (((Everyone))) for the congratulations! It was a long, interesting year year and we will see how this year shapes up. There is a movement lead by massive cancer charity here called Macmillan, to get NHS cancer treatment protocol to include cancer exercise specialists working for 12 weeks to get people up and back to life after the physical decimation from active cancer treatment. They presently have that with cardio, for instance if you have a heart bypass, you seamlessly are handed over to a cardio exercise specialist when released from hospital and they come to your home or local council leisure centre to set up a program of returning you to "normal" physical life. The heart is a muscle and it makes perfect sense funding wise. The progress is tracked weekly by the specialist, the recordings also tracked and numbers crunched regularly to make sure that funding via NHS is there for these programs. In the UK, the statistical analysis is that by 2030, 47% (nearly half) of the adult population will have or have had some form of cancer. Macmillan is trying to set in place now what can work best for the general population. The year 2017 is the target year to get NHS funding for cancer exercise specialists and at this moments, pilot cancer exercise specialist programs are being monitored across the country (including Scotland and Wales) funded by Macmillan to achieve this. For now, one can be sent to a GP Exercise Referral, (which I have that qualification as well) and these specialist personal trainers work with medically referred clients in the local council leisure centres and can only work with cancer patients if they have this specialist training. These positions are few and far between particularly now due to deep cuts to funding. On my cancer course, the bulk of the 9 of us, where presently employed GP referrals around Kent, who where funded on the course by Macmillan. So continuing with Pink Ribbon Pilates and a looking for ways and inroads and see what shakes out for this year and 2017.

Off to Pink Ribbon Pilates and looking forward to being with my tribe!

Toured Frank Lloyd Wright's winter home and architectural studio and walked around at Fountain Hills....which has a walking path around a man- made lake with a big fountain that sprays up water every 45 minutes.

Annie....I'm waiting on my girl scout cookies. I've asked someone twice and they keep saying yes, but so far, no cookies. As many kids that are in my neighborhood, no one comes to the door. I'm spoiled as both my girls sold girl scout cookies. My youngest is now a senior in high school so I've not had a cookies seller for several years. We always buy a case (when all 3 kids were home 2 cases) and they would last us all year. My DD just finished the last box earlier this month. I keep them in the extra bedroom on the closest shelf so they last!! It doesn't matter, I find something to eat!!!! especially if I'm enjoying a glass of wine.

I over slept this morning, didn't get up till 6:15 so only got a very short walk (10 minutes) before work, so a little short on steps today. Tomorrow morning its going to be in the teens so it will be a chilly walk....

Hi All, I'm new in the group but am I trying to get in better shape in general, but also specifically before my DIEP flap in 3.5 weeks.

Ruth, six degrees of separation- my advisor in grad school (for historic preservation) was married to the president of Taliesen West.

Yesteray, I did 40 minutes of walking and biking, a leg circuit, abs/back and the upper body exercises prescribed by my physical therapist.

Today I plan to do 30 minutes of walking on the treadmill, or walk in the park depending on the temperature here in Detroit.

Karen- my daughter is in Girl Scouts. Here in Detroit, we don't actually receive the cookies until the end of February.

Jena

I got up early walked and did some toning. We have walked a little from one place to another throughout the day. Tomorrow is our last full day here so I am being outside as much as possible.Welcome Jena! I thought it was especially interesting that Taliesin West is still an operating school of architecture. I will add a picture from Taliesinto this post.

ruthbru, love the pics.

Rode my bike about 7 miles this morning then did 80 minute Bone Builders class this afternoon.

Expecting rain all day t'm and my sister will be off with the car. Will try and get over to mysunshine and spend the day helping her unpack so probably no other 'scheduled' exercise. Thursday-Monday will be in NC so probably not much exercise there either. Eeek.

Night sculpted friends.

Heidi, thanks for the encouragement! I love when the fitbit buzzes!

We're almost dug out here and I did a walking DVD again - have to admit I'm ready to get out of here.

G'night all. Patoo, don't overdo. And Ruth, love the pics!

Last year or maybe the year before was the first time that girl scout cookies were sold door to door instead of orders then delivering a few weeks later. My oldest daughter first started selling girl scout cookies in 1992!!!! In Colorado cookies have always been in January. Way back when it was orders then delivery in February. Now sales are in January and mid February start booth sales. If I have to wait for a booth sale at the store, will do so. I work in the schools but non of my schools have a troop!!!

Good walking day today. Got up and ran this morning at 5:45 before I got my shower. Usually I shower then walk, but I think I like this better. It was 18 this morning but its warming up the rest of the week!

1/26- double work out today with 20 min walk around the client site, plus 50 min resistance training at the gym tonight!

Ruth, I did Taliesian West tour ago and went to see the student structures that were made by the interns. Did you do that tour? So interesting.

Have you been to the Musical Instrument Museum? Did we talk about this when you were there before? Love the place!

Cheryl, I'd too like to go to NZ and be at the BB filming. Ruth, I'm with Annie, Arizona looks terrific (certainly, I don't align with their politics) said on this grey, cold rain pelting the windows afternoon. Heidihill, it is forecasted to be a reality that cancer exercise specialists will be put in the NHS cancer recovery protocol mix, although if it really happens, who knows.

Vi box at the gym this morning and off to get hair colored.

Gorgeous day in Denver. Had a great walk at lunch then went for a walk as soon as I got home a little after 4:30. Its staying warm through Saturday, and then Sunday winter returns. I love the sunny warm winter days in Denver.

Hello all, beautiful snow melting day here. Got out, hit 10k steps and did 30 minutes of a Denise Austin DVD. I wanted to rotate the type of exercise i did today because last night my neck was a bit sore.
