Did you Move to Lose Today

Well its that time of day again to say how you moved to lose....

I did my normal routine on my evil treadmill today but pushed it to see how far I could go LOL. Did the normal 5 minute warm up up but did 35 mintues at 2mph at a 6% incline......It kicked my butt but I feel good though. Also did a 30 minute workout with that crazy Pilates Ball and bands. Dont know if its helping but at least im moving.

I want to thank everyone for their responses about 24 Hour Fitness. I have decided to leave LA Fitness after the treatment I recieved and join 24 Hour hopefully at the beginning of the month. If anyone is a member and is close to the Inland Empire, be cool to get a workout routine going at a gym.

Have a great day................Rick

Would be so cool to do.  Always wanted someone to work out with, but that isn't going to happen at least for another year for me.  Just going to hang in there.

Great daily post and you are getting good responses~!  Keep going Rick....pretty soon you will be skinny and buff!!!

Hey Rick...I'm still impressed with the workout on the treadmill...makes me 'think' about getting room for mine in the house...still too hot in the garage to take it on. LOL

I did my walk today...3 laps around the block..keeping my time at 10minutes per lap.  Probably good speed it up if my co worker and I would stop talking and just concentrate on walking LOL  I also tossed in an extra little walk over to the mail box on the side street...not a biggee but it's better than giving the mail to someone else and have them take it, right??!!  Or driving over to the post office in the car and dropping it in the outside box. Now THAT would be l-a-z-y!

Let me know how 24hour works out...we've got one right around the corner from my house..next to Walmart...it's crossed my mind to give it a try...that or Curves...but Curves shut down 3 locations in town last week..and no body knows why..so I'm leary of them now. :-(
Keep up the great job...How is 'school' going? Lots of studying?

Thanks for the kind words Diane and Nancy. I am really suprised to be honest with the responses to this thread for the past few days. It is very encouraging to me to keep this thread alive and hopefully will give some insight to all the new members on what we do for excersise before and after our surgeries and realize that we dont need to be like Jullian Michaels or Bob the trainer on the Biggest Loser LOL

Nancy, I love the treadmill and hopefully it will workout. I am developing a problem with my left knee now but going to the doc on Monday to nip it I hope. They said it would happen because of the weight bearing for so many years.

Again thanks all for the support

Have a great day........Rick

Hey Rick,
Gonna do a walk again at work with my bouncing ball... It is a really good distraction and makes the walk go quicker. Hopefully I can do more of a walk tonight. Work got really busy last night so didn't walk as much as I wanted to. Also gonna do a video at work tonight... Maybe walk away the pounds or the Kaiser chair dancing video.

On a side note I have decided not to get the personal trainer due to a family member losing their job... so I figured that my "extra" money should go to family if they need it.

Well have a good day!!!

Hey Rick and all,

Rick I think this is a great daily topic. Please keep it going.

I am having the challenge this week of finding the time. I have family in town from North Carolina and I don't see them often so instead of going to work out after work, I am rushing home to spend time with them.

Tomorrow I have the day off to take my mom to a medical appointment in the afternoon.  Once she's home, I am talking a walk along the cliffs in Santa Cruz. I usually walk around 2-3 miles.

Take Care,

MsBlues

Hi Rick!
Thanks for this post! I LOVE it!   

Well i called 24 hour fitness and they don't have any deals going on to upgrade my account to the sport club so... I guess I keep the active membership for now and go to those clubs which is a bummer cuz I found classes I wanted to go to at the sport club by me.  But.. since Im still unemployed Im not gonna worry about it for now. there are plenty of things I can do.  though I keep thinking about it, i might just suck it up but we'll see :)

So.. My sister has a gym quality precor elliptical machine here at the house so I got on that today for the first time in years...  Ya.. it kicked my ass at 6 mins on the basic level lol.  So.. then I went out for a walk.. about 2 miles  In about 40 mins.. I'll take it!  I came home took a freezing cold shower and feel so refreshed right now!

tomorrow im gonna go back at that precor for 7 mins lol  and add one each day hopefully!

Have a super day everyone!

Jackie

Sorry to myself but there is no way in hell I can move. My head is going to explode. I'm trying to get up so I can go to Support Group.
