Gym Is Open (Friday)

I went to the gym this morning with a terrible back ache.  I didn't sleep much last night as I had a very hard night with hot flashes.  I ended up walking the track for 35 minutes and came home.  I am now waiting for the dryer repairman to come out.  It is the last thing to repair after my massive power surge last week. What did you do to move your body today? Lori

Sorry to hear about your back my back went out on me once when I was over 400 not fun. Well I hope you feel better and take care of yourself.  Today was my weight training day so only go in 65 min of cardio I did the treadmill for 45 min and elliptical for 20 min, then I hit the weight for 30 mins. I really need to keep working on my arms the are really looking bad. Well feel better talk to ya soon.  Lorraine

Hey Lori, take care of that backache - I know how those feel and how they can cause problems. I did my 4 mile walk this morning in lieu of the bus - it was such a beautiful morning and just perfect for walking. I have to walk back pretty soon so I can go pick up my car at 4pm. So, I should get in about 5 miles today (I'm actually picking up the bus a little closer to home on the way back, just don't have time to do the walk and hit the many transfers I need to make it by 4).

Hi Lori, Thought I would join you guys today, I walked at lunch, I think about a mile, and tonite I will do at least 35 minutes on my bike.  Take care of that back, several years ago I had major issues with my back and the pain was unbearable, thank goodness for a physical theapist that I feel saved my life. Have a great weekend, and Happy Mothers Day to all the mothers out there. Lynn

Sorry about the bum back, Lori.  I hope it feels better. 75 minutes of pilates ("Slim, Strong & Lean: Pilates Core" for 25 minutes and "Rapid Results Pilates" for 50 minutes). For anyone who is a pliates fan, Slim, Strong & Lean is a new DVD by Prevention and it incorporates a stretchie band into the pilates workout.  Wow, you really feel the burn, so I highly recommend it if you want to try something new.

Hi Lori, I hope that your back is feeling better by now. I've been on the run most of the day, and didn't get to post earlier.  John and I went to water aerobics class this morning for 1 hour.
