Exercise DVD's in bad weather, walking in good weather. Jules

I will admit exercise is not my favorite thing. I had an appt with my nut yesterday and she insists I get busy!!!!! I walk about 4.5 to 5 miles 3 days per week, and will be trying to add all different kinds of stuff till I find something I like. Vivienne

I like to run mostly on a treadmill, but I have been trying it outside. Not as easy as in.

right now its bike riding and yard work...In the winter I find it hard to get motivated! I try to do floor exercises though at least once daily.

I also wanted to add that I have been walking early ~ like 5am ~ on weekends because I've been awake and it's been so nice out. It's been so peaceful. I love to listen to the Roosters crow at each other across the lake ~ it's quite comical to listen to. My DH brought home bikes so I'm going to try bike riding too. I think I'll try it on Sunday morning to go get the paper. The store is a mile, one way so I shouldn't have a problem getting there and back.

In the Winter, I go to the gym much more often. This time of year, I'm much more likely to go for a walk, hike, or swim if it's warm enough.

I am going to be very honest here.....I HATE EXERCISE!!!!!!!! I do some but have a hard time being faithful with it. I can always find some excuse not to exercise. I know I am BAD! sorry.

I'd have to say walking - but like others here, I get really cold very easily - so this summer weather is a Godsend! I walk every morning on break at work, just to thaw out!!

This time of year what exercise I get is through yardwork and gardening and some walking. Exercise is just not a good subject for me. No matter how hard I try I just can't develope any pleasure or joy in it so I tend to not do it. I know it is wrong but it is the truth. Sally
