Good Morning, Fitness Fanatics!

It's Tuesday and I have an allergy headache....UGH!  I love the Spring, but hate the pollen, but love the flowers.....guess I'll suffer.

Here's a thought..........

To climb steep hills requires slow pace at first."

Walk 10 Minutes a Day and Increase Your Fitness Level Old thinking was to work out in a sweat-filled gym for hours a day. No pain, no gain. New studies show that even short bouts of activity can increase your fitness level, especially if you're new at working out. 

So...make sure that you move.  Even if it's for short period of time - it all counts!  and with summer right around the corner, we REALLY need it to count!!!

So...what are YOU doing to move today???

Me?  let me see....the calendar says a 3.5 mile run/walk today.  HA!  Who am I kidding....it will end up being a 3.5 mile run today.  Hip feels good - back needs to be stretched, but I've got all day for that.  After my run, I plan to do some ab work (dvd).

Good Morning Jill, Now that I am back from vacationing at Cape Hatteras, I will start off with my 4 mile walk, then clean out the camper and get some serious dusting done in the house. Have a great day.

Good morning!!  Well, with the day I'm having so far, I NEED & WANT the distraction of exercise!! So the plan is 1 full hour of WiiFit, followed by about 15 minutes of my own, homegrown brand of stair stepping.  In other words, I'm gonna use my REAL stairs...lol!!

I like what you said about moving several times a day even if only for a few minutes each time.  Makes complete sense.

As always, thanks Jilly-dilly!!!

Hugs!
Ann

Ok....sounds like you "might" need a pe talk to get you going.

YOU CAN DO THIS!!!  I know you may not WANT to do it, but you must.  It's for your general health and well being.  The body was made to move and you need to move it.

Sunday, I had to get in a run and totally did not want to do it.  i did 5 minutes, stepped off of the treadmill and told hubby it was going to be a tough run.

i got back on, pumped up the music, turned on a good movie and next thing I knew, my easy 2 mile run was 3 miles.  THEN, I did my ab work.

So...it's mind over matter.........

Ummm...I'm confused...lol.  Did you mean to direct that at ME?  I said I WANTED & NEEDED the distraction of exercise.  I didn't say I wasn't going to do it.  Did I miss something?? 

Hugs!
