on another note..... i been wondering what everyone else is doing for exercise. so do ya'll wanna share that? i know what some of ya'll are doing but i want more input. like johnny five from that movie in the 80's! lol i've been doing walking, walk in home dvd's, the elliptical (although not as often as i thought i would when i bought it), and some bike riding. mainly walking though. variations of the dvd's and really doing it on a track outside. i'm also about to get wii fitness coach which is a fitness program but not exactly wii fit. it's gotten good reviews though.
and here's a thought on batwings. i don't have any yet (and pray i don't get them but know i prolly will) but has anyone thought of or tried the shake weight? the commerical came on about a zillion times last night and i was wondering if i should give it a try. they even have one out for men now although the men's version is $10 more than the women's.
but anyway ya'll... telll me your thoughts. please!
Ok - you asked - so here goes :-)
ReplyDeleteI go to the gym 2 - 3 times a week. I mainly do cardio (because I want to burn calories and I just don't have the time for the weights - my little one just copes with an hour in the creche).
I do 15 minutes on the bike, 5 minutes on the rower, 5 minutes on the elliptical (machine from HELL) and then 15 on the treadmill.
On the treadmill I walk for 3 minutes and run for 2.
I don't think it matters exactly what you do - as long as you get moving. It sounds like you are incorporating heaps of different forms of exercise into your life - you are doing great :-)
Unfortunately, I am relegated to just walking for a few more weeks (my surgeon requires 6 weeks of just walking post-op). I've been trying to walk every day for a couple miles.
ReplyDeleteEven though I'm not supposed to, I did some light hand weights the other day. I already have bat wings so I was trying to mitigate the problem! I might try the Wii Fit soon, as well.
For me at least, changing up activities helps prevent boredom and plateaus.
I am on a 30 day challenge and its 30 minutes each day...walking, running C25K, trainer once a week, gym and weights. I am finally seeing the results!
ReplyDeleteI walk 30 minutes each morning, seven days a week. I also ride my bike about three times a week. I am trying to add an evening walk too and am getting that in a couple of times a week usually. My only other exercise is grocery shopping, cleaning house, mowing the lawn, etc.
ReplyDeleteI do the elliptical 5-6 nights a week for half an hour. I also do some Pilates DVDs that I have. And chasing my kids, does that count? ;)
