Hey, I'm late and it's from yesterday but I'm posting anyway. My family and I walked 3 miles of trails in the Theler Wetlands! I was so proud of myself. I didn't even have to sit down and rest. We stopped a few times to look at a crane and a couple of herons but still didn't sit! Carol

My hair is coming out in gobs. I am taking the Biotin too but appreciate the tip on the folic acid. Pam I am taking Centrum Chewables they are an Orange Flavor. I started with them right after surgery then liked them and stayed with the chewables.

My hair is not holding up at all! It is horrible. Thin and brittle. I don't think the chlorine could possibly hurt it anymore than it already is! :>) Seriously, I love aquasizing and have been doing it for three years. It is a lot of fun. Thanks for the weight sugestions. I think I will start weights! Maybe it will break my plateau. I have been the same weight plus or minus 2 lbs for five weeks now! Getting sick of it.

Topic: Exercise 1/31/07
Went to the gym this morning. Here is what I did: - 30 min. treadmill - toning (legs and abdominals) - 20 min. stretching I'm starting to feel the muscles that I've been working, but in a good way! My trainer told me today that I should try to up my water intake since the muscles were going to require more water. So... what did you do today? Are you getting your water in? Is exercising becoming easier?

I've thought about trying an aquacise class, but since my hair is still being funky, I didn't want to add the chlorine to it. How is your hair holding up? I know there are some beginner DVDs you can do at home with weights. Otherwise, I would do basic calesthenics and use the weights. Plus arm curls (front, side, overhead, behind the head, forward, etc...) squats, side twists, etc...

Pilates and Yoga both involve stretching and toning, but they follow different principals. Some gyms however will do the same exercises for both Pilates and Yoga. I haven't done Yoga, so I can't tell you exactly what the differences are though.

WHOO HOO!!!! Be proud of yourself! 30 minutes on the treadmill is no small feat, and it definitely beats 30 minutes on the couch, lol

I went to aquasize class. I try to do that 3x a week and then do the tredmill 3x a week and one day I don't exercise. I was thinking of starting some weights. What is the best way to start out? I have some hand weights so I could do it at home but I am not sure what I should be doing. Thanks for any suggestions!
