Monday: How Will You Move Your Body Today?

C'mon, we all need movement in our day. Remember, if you move... you can eat more or perhaps lose more. There is a payoff! If it isn't formal exercise at the gym, a jog around the track, a jog around the neighborhood, a walk near home, the stairs at work, a lap around the office parking lot, parking your car further away, a walk at the mall, cleaning the house - hey, folks - ALL OF IT COUNTS! Kathy

After 2 full weeks of doing nothing, nada, zip, cero... I returned to the gym this morning. Whew. Wasn't easy getting up. But I felt better after. I definitely miss it. Did 3 minutes warm-up on treadmill. Lower body weight machines followed by dips (I think that is what they are called). 60 minute heart rate strength workout on the treadmill. Did a total of 2.9 miles in the hour keeping my heart rate in the desired ranges for the time increments on my plan (incline from varies from 2 (warmup and cooldown only), 6, 7, 8, 9, and 10). Kathy

Kathy, Glad you enjoyed such a great workout today ! I got tired reading all you did. Now I need a nap You are a trooper ! I hope to get to the pool - hope it doesn't thunderstorm, tho rain is in the forecast, cuz they'll close the pool. I do need to go out and mop and hose off the front porch before I go so - maybe that counts as exercise , too ! I did sweep it off and bag up old phone books and magazines and get them off the porch at 8:30 am, so maybe that's movement too, Yay! Hoping the pool will ease the sore muscles from yesterday's gardening marathon Mary

Well if ALL of it counts then here's mine.... Walked from bedroom to bathroom. Bathroom to kitchen, made breakfast (stretching those arm muscle reaching for dishes) Then walked to my desk and ate breakfast. Waved my left arm about 2 dozen times (telling the kids goodbye). Did about 2 dozen right arm stretches (spoon from bowl to mouth). I done hundreds of finger extensions (typing on the keyboard today). Oh and lets not forget the other three trips to the bathroom so far today. I did my weight training too - carried an arm load of books to the car and then into the library. Walked from where I parked across the street to the library and then back to the car again. Walked from where I parked into the middle school and back again when I dropped off my dd's medication. And of course, did neck exercises while backing out of the above mentioned parking spots!!! Hhmmm, oh yes, then I did deep waist bends as I put my lunch in the oven and took it out again. More right arm stretches (eating) Wrist twists, while opening bottles of vitamins; and more wrist twists while opening my bottled water. Now I'm back to finger extentions!!!! WHEW!!!!! I think I'm ready for a nap Laurie

Sarcasm, my dear Laurie.... will get you far with me. Kathy

One mile on the treadmill walk/run 60 min water finess 45 min sculpt class I need a nap!!! I am so glad the kids are back in school so I can hit it hard at the gym!

Started the day with horizontal aerobics instead of my walk... Now I have a crick in my back... I guess that gives me an excuse not to do my weight training tonight. Hot and warm Is all I see in the immediate future... Kate Z ouch ouch

I bet it was worth the crick....

Hi Kathy, I did 45 minutes on the treadmill for cardio, then I did: stability disk bicep curls and pull ups 4 different kinds of ab workouts stability ball flyaway and arm extensions I feel good..... Lori
