Thursday exercise

Music is definately definately definately a good idea and helps with exercise.

Have you gotten professionally fitted for a sports bra?  It also makes a world of difference!!!

Pam

Well, I've never been fitted for a sports bra per se.   Never been able to find one in a sports store that held me as well as the cast iron bras I wear now.  Any specific recommendation?  They barely move in what I have now but its enough movement that the straps dig in and pinch off the nerves in my neck/shoulders causing my arms to go numb.   I just put up with it. 

"Cast iron bras I wear now"  To funny!

Well - I haven't been fitted since last year's 5k and need to be fitted again (I didn't get new ones cause I stopped running and went to spinning/eliptical which didn't require so much "restraint" on the girls) if I'm gonna do this roller blading thing.  Anyway - I got fitted at Victoria Secret.  Yes, they have sports bras, too.  There was movement in them, but the straps didn't dig in and such....

Good luck!

Good job Melanie! I just started running too and I'm liking it. I can run 3miles on the treadmill and it feels great. I'm trying to take the run outside and it's a lot harder. Trying not to let the outside runs discourage me. Any tips?

My exercise goal is to compete in a dualathelon in late summer and I'm training for a 64 mile bike ride in October.

Good job everyone!!

Good Christmas Trees!!!    I'm exhausted just hearing about your exercise!   How DO you do it???

I didn't do any exercise yesterday because of our outing and my daughter's arts fest.. well I did walk around the mini golf course and we determined it was like hiking because of the steps and hills and such.. LOL! 

As far as the walking to music.. definitely helps to keep pace and make the time go by faster without boredom.  I also like to listen to audio books.  I am currently listening to the FIRST Harry Potter book.  Yes, I am WAAAYYY behind the times and never read or saw any of them.  I had no interest, but now that I am giving it a try on audio, it's pretty good so far.
