Gym Is Open (Tuesday)

I'm back from my 4 days of Music fun in the mountains. I really had a great time. According to my pedometer, I average 7 miles a day in walking! That is 30 minutes on the treadmill every day, plus all my walking around being the "access control manager" for the festival. Today, I was back to my regular routine. I did 30 minutes on the treadmill, then focused on legs and abdomen. What did you do to move your body today? Lori 384/237/199

Lori, I feel so bad! Im guilty of falling off the exercise program! I havent been to the gym in awhile now... I know I know! BAD!! But I am going to get back on track tomorrow!! Since I have failed to make it to the gym I have been good about using the pool at home more! I spent a whole hour jogging around the pool today.. Doesnt sound like much for exercise, but have you ever jogged in water?? Not easy to do!! Thanks for reminding me I do need to get back to the gym! Amber

Amber, Jogging in water is great exercise! I think the key is that even if you don't make it to the gym, you still make sure you get some movement in each day. Sounds like you are doing that! Good for you! Lori

Hi Lori, I walked three miles around my neighborhood. I just love it when I sweat...makes me feel like I'm doing some good. I'm glad to hear you had a great time. Diana

Yes Diana, sweating is a good thing! One of the ladies in my in person support group says, she asks herself each day, "did I sweat today?" If so, then she feels she did her part to her health! Lori

Hey Lori I went to the gym yesterday but didn't post. I did arms and 18 mins on the treadmill. Tonight I went and did: 40 min hill program...LOVE the hills..make my legs feel awesome! I lifted legs tonight: Leg Press: 3x15 Glutes: 2x15 Leg Extension: 2x15 Leg Curl: 2x15 Laying Down Leg Curl (?): 3x15 Abs: 3x10 Back Machine: 3x10 Adductor: 3x15 Abductor:3x15 My arms are still hurting from last night. After the gym I came home and did some yoga. It's hard to do here because you are supposed to do it with no distractions...this house is distraction central..lol.. Have a great workout everyone, Jamie

Jamie, Sounds great! I usually do the random program on the treadmill, so my elevation changes all the time. I will try the "hill program". Keep up the great work! Lori

Hi Sweetie, Seven miles is great. You are becoming a exercise nut. Doesnt the exercise feel great. I am sorry I havent been posting here much. Life has just been so busy. wedding, honeymoon, garden, kids, and the list goes on and on. But I have been walking as much as possible. And trying to get pilates in three times a week. Do you think the honeymoon exercise counts as pilates.

Marie, I think honeymoon exercise might count as pilates depending on how athletic your love making is! Keep up the great work! Lori
