How's exercise going? Hard with winter blues...

I am changing, I know this.  This is the second winter that I find it harder to get out of bed for my early walks! So, I decided to listen to my body and not go. Well, not at that time of day. I also desired to get more yoga in. So, beginning in November or so, I started doing yoga practice in the morning, along with crunches on the ball, push up sets, leg lunges. My walks now happen in the afternoons after wor****asionally before, but pretty much in the PM's now, and on weekends if I miss a day due to busy day, then too dark thing. Pretty soon, I need to get to work earlier, then home to ride my bike earlier! I plan to do another 65 miler this April.  Also pretty much decided to do aqua aerobics starting in March.  That will be 2x weekly, and I can get in a short walk those days right before class.  How about you guys????

I exercise with desire now.  That's the most important thing of all to me.  I walk a mile a day because I have to but my preferred exercise had been Karate for a month or so now.  I'm loving it because it doesn't feel like exercise and I don't feel pressured to do anything.  So that's 1 mile a day and 1 hour of Karate twice a week.  The wife and I walk the mall on occasion but it's not on any particular schedule. When we walk the mall it's 2 miles. (2 laps)

I am trying to get back into exercising after my sickness. Last night I had planned on going to the gym But I like to spend an hour there. Well after work I had to do hair at 6 which took about an hour and a half so I went tanning and after that it was already 8:15 and the gym closes at 9:30 i wouldn't have made it out there until about 8:45pm. So I went home watched all my tv shows and did some TurboJam before bed...which made me cough a little bit but it was good. So tonight I will make it to the gym...as for Thursday TurboJam. Friday depends on if i do something after the basketball game.

I ride my recumbent bike, but lately I have been adding the treadmill to it.  IMO the treadmill gives you a heck of a workout.  I am really not in good shape, but I'm trying.  I'm hoping as I lose more weight I will get in a lot better shape.  I would like to buy me a bike this summer and ride on the trails with my hubby and son.  I think that is one exercise I would enjoy.   I actually prefer to walk at the park during lunch, but it has been cold as hell here so that's not happening.

My exercise - Nada... I suck...

Me too :( We don't suck, we just need some motivation :) how bout we will both promise to go and report back? (**** now I have to go...)

Exercise is going well.  I had a few days off last week as I was really sick, but started back on Sunday, was up to Boot Camp on Monday and training yesterday.  Today was my day off (I give myself 1 day rest each week...or try to).  Keeping exercise in isn't hard for me--I love it.  I make it the first thing i do in the day so I have no excuses.  By having it at a gym it's an "appointment" for me, so I don't blow it off. I know some here talked about loathing exercise, but I really think that's only the early stages.  I think once you start to really exercise and push yourself, your body starts to thank you  and desires more of it.  I think for most people it's their head that gets in the way of the commitment. BTW, I start a challenge at my gym in February.  I signed up for a special program that will be training, nutrition, pilates, and other stuff and the winner or winning team gets some nice free prizes, including more training.  Weight loss stalled while I was sick and not eating enough, so it will be a good kick in the pants.  Hardest part of the journey for me is eating enough to fuel loss.  That's a hump I feel I struggle to get over.

"How about you guys????" Ugh! This guy... isn't doing a darned thing
It feels like I'm barely getting time to do anything I really WANT... so I just do what I want when I can... and it hasn't been exercise   My bad.

I am VERY anxious to get my elliptical machine. That I think, will be a HUGE change for me. I have the time etched out already- in my head/day, that I WILL work out on that machine. I'm excited to start and excited to feel the changes! I am READY. So I guess it's fair to say- the only exercise I am getting is in my HEAD.. while I'm THINKING about working out on the elliptical! ................ yeah.... I suck

exercise for me has been very hard lately. i haven't done any in awile :( i had planned to get back into a couple weeks ago but had a sprained ankle. gave myself a week to recover from that and now i just can't seem to make myself exercise again! i know it will help me get out of my slump (my scale is stuck i swear!) but it's so hard to get motivated to do it right now. i'm so bored out of my mind with videos. and, i finally did get that elliptical from my sister but it is hard!!! i got on it for like 1 min the day after i set it up and was like OMG! i'm gonna have to work myself up on that thing. it will require me pushing myself further and further each time which can be hard when you practically have no motivation to exercise atm.

The cold gets to me too.  I've been avoiding the wood pile for 4 or 5 days now and that's disappointing me... that's a nice sweat. Other than that.. I didn't hit the gym today.  I took my daughter to the doctor, then out for lunch, then to the mall for a present for being a good girl at the doctor's!  LOL  I know.. she's 21 .. but she still wants presents for being good at the doctor. HAHhaha I've been training 3 x a week and sticking to it.  For the last week or so, on off days I've been going to the gym anyway because I'm starting to do the treadmill instead of just the bike.  I'm not breaking any records, but I'm walking.  About a mile into it which takes me about 25 minutes with the incline on 1 and speed at 2.8, I have to stop and get on the bike. but I have to say it feels so good to walk.  My left knee and left side of hip starts to give in now at about 15 minutes and I hold the side and push as far as I can.  I suspect that soon I'll be a walkin' fool!
