Exercise

Just curious... What do you all do for exercise? Do you do any aerobics classes and if so which ones? I'm a member of the YMCA and am trying to find new things to do there.   -Alyssa

I do 33 minutes on the elliptical and 30-35 minutes on the treadmill...I try to go at least 3 times a week, more if I'm up to it. I was going 5 times but was really dragging all the time.

Alyssa, Good Morning!  My dad is a member of the Hermitage Y and there is plenty to do there alone.  he works out 5 days a week to maintain his petite (LOL) frame (135 lbs).  He wants me to join there too because of the offerings they have.  There is a lady who teaches there who used to weigh close to 300 and now weighs considerably less and she teaches cardio to the kids.  Good luck.

Beth, doyou think you could help me fix my profile and get that ticker thing...... as you can see I have no clue of  howto do any of this pc stuff but its so pretty. Annrenee

You should join, Beth! That's where I typically work out and have been doing the treadmill and bike for 30 minutes.  I've recently added weights and water aerobics.  I'd love to try the zumba class. 

im a member of the y, and zumbia is fun!!!!!! i am the worst dancer in the whole world, i look like a fool, but man am i having a good time. they have a basic zumbia class at the y I go to, and thats all I can handle!!!!

Alyssa, I started with water aerobics and loved it. Now I mostly use the ellipical,tread mill, walk, do weight machines. I want to try pilates next.

Hi Alyssa, I go to curves 3 times a week and walk 3 times a week and then on Sunday , I rest.  LOL Darlene

I walk/run 2 miles each weekday morning with my doggies (if I dont have interviews and dr appts to interfere).  If I get off work early enuff I sometimes walk/run them at nite too.  On weekends, we still will do the same or go do something else like hike or power shop!!!!  I like the shop part best!  And ask Mary from Knoxville, you burn calories when you shop with me!!!! I also have exercise bands that I try to use at home to tone.  I am not as faithful as I should be.  But I am getting better.  I am finally starting to tell a difference in how I feel.  If I dont exercise, I start to feel bad.  Finally my body is working with me!!!

I have a "pool" of workouts that I choose from each day depending on my mood.  They are: walking inside to a Leslie Sansone video walking outside for thirty minutes to an hour working out to a Leslie Sansone walking/cardio/strength dvd for an hour working out to a tivoed Denise Austin "My Daily Workout" show (Lifetime, 6am M-F) working out to a tivoed "My Workout" show (same as above but 6:30am) I do one of these five to six days a week.  In addition, every day I do a strength training workout on either my upper or lower body.  You have to give yourself a days rest between strength training so I alternate muscle groups and do every day, well, five to six days a week. If I am in a particularly active mood, I do two of the cardio or aerobic workouts...but this is rare! LOL!
