What Are YOU Doing To Move Today???

Good Morning Kiddies...... Rise and shine - it's a BEAUTIFUL day in front of us. Grab your shoes and head outdoors fr some much needed vitamin D!!! The temps are going to be int he 70's - How about THAT for a break in the winter??? So....what are YOU doing to move today??? Well, yesterday, I ran 2.5 miles (outside in the GREAT weather) just as I said I was going to, so today, I will be running 3 miles (outdoors), doing some ab work and LOTS of stretching. Enjoy the weather and take today's opportunity to shake off some of those winter cob webs....

Going to a Strength Training class offered by Fair Oaks Hospital in Fairfax called "On Track." Each Tuesday at 6:30 PM the Hospital offers an exercise class held by an exercise physchologist and personal trainer. It is so much fun and cheep! $75.00 for twelve sessions. 2 are free so you can check it out! We do a combo of things ranging from working with inflatable balls, boce balls , medicine balls of different sizes, doing different things, bands, exercising on mats, walking and running for those of us further out, going up and down stairs. The class is usually divided up between the two trainers so that everyone at different levels get what they need, without over doing it! It's nice incorperating this with my swimming and walking. This way, my metabolism is confused into burning efficiently. I'm adding weights and machines working with a personal trainer at my aquatic center starting tomorrow. I wanted to work with a professional the first time  with machines and weights so I won't get hurt using anything improperly. I can't wait to have yet another way to vary my workouts!!! Anyone interested in this" On track" class, that has has had Gastric Bypass surgery or the Lap Band can just show up or can call Fair Oaks Hospital for details. This class has really helped me to get out of the stall I am in or the plateau I'm stuck on! I like the ladies that run the class,Shelly and Leah,they have really helped me! McLean

OMG!!! That sounds like alot of fun!  And at SUCH a great price, too.  It's great when you enjoy the place you are going too....makes it more motivating! Have fun!

Came home during lunch today to go for a run outdoors. Such a wonderful day. Mapped out a mile loop in my neighborhood with my car and ran it three times. Ran the whole way. Man I have missed hitting the streets. It's good to be back.

I hear ya....I hit the road as soon as I walked int he door - 3 miles later and I was pouting that I had to go in to cook dinner (haha). BUT...I have to watch over training, so I came in (kicking and screaming), and did my stretching like I am suppose to.....

I can't wait to start jogging.  Probably several months from now.  I did an hour of exercising at physical therapy.

Thats' GREAT!  Don;t worry - it will be soon. How is your knee?  Hubby goes in next week, the day after coming back from his Mom's funeral service, for knee surgery....poor chap!

I am so sorry to hear that.  What did he do to his knee?  You should come Friday to meet with us.  Cleo also had knee surgery post WLS so I am excited to hear her recovery testimony. My knee is bending somewhat better.  It feels like you are stretching a thick rubberband to its limit.  I still walk funny and VERY slow.

Let me check my workout calendar......I may have a dance class that night. Can you PM me with the details???? Hubby has a torn miniscus and some bad cartiliage....too many years on the ship.

Yeah my hubby has bad knees from the carriers too.  He hasn't needed surgery though.  Well...dance on over to us after class
