So, yesterday, I got my butt kicked from one end of the strip to another -placed dead last in my tournament but that's ok - I learned. I also did a floating yoga class - on paddleboards in the pool at my health club - that was totally cool. This week - here we go
Monday - fencing 2 hours
Tuesday - gym for a workout and 1/2 hour fencing lesson
Wednesday - fencing 1.5 hours (I have a board meeting)
Thursday - choir rehearsal 2.5 hours (I count that as yoga for fitness purposes)
Friday - Pilates and gym
Saturday - March for Our Lives in DC - lots of walking, followed by more walking.
Have a great week! My crazy hubby is doing a 5 miler back to back with a half marathon on Saturday and Sunday this weekend.

I agree with Gwen - you need to find something you like to do and get out and do it. In Maine, there are so many things you could be doing - snowshoeing, cross country skiing, hiking, but the key is finding what speaks to you.
I started fencing (as in en garde) last year. I love it - I fence 4-5 hours a week plus work out in the gym to support my fencing. I do yoga and pilates and work with a personal trainer.
That's another suggestion - spend a little for one or two sessions with a personal trainer who can develop a plan for you to follow - that makes the gym so much less intimidating when someone lines up a hour worth of stuff for you to do.

This will be a light workout for me this week. Big race is on sunday
Monday lots of walking busy work day

Wed master swim
Thursday 45 minute light easy run
Friday rest
Saturday 20 minute run
Sunday 30k race
My best recommendation is to find activity you love and do it. For me, that's running, yoga, pilates, and tai chi - plus other random fitness classes that I have access to. I also like weight lifting and need to get back to that once I finish up with physical therapy, so have the time to do it again.
Then there are the normal recommendations - take the steps, park farther away, etc.

I assist with a WLS Support Group here in Maine, and the question asked again and again is: "How to I keep my level of activity up, inside and outside." Everyone knows that our gym is available, but what other alternatives have you found that keep you up and moving.
Thanks so sharing!!

Great video! I'm a bike commuter, year round. With the right gear (helmet, rain/snow poncho, gloves, waterproof shoes, lights) I'm able to ride through the winter wearing street clothes, so nothing too fancy, expensive, or bike "gearey."
I so hate the changing of the clocks - wish we would scrap the whole thing. back from vacation and glad to be back into the routine.
Monday - Lesson and fencing 2.5 hours
Tuesday - gym - legs and core (did arms and chest Sunday)
Wednesday - fencing 2 hours
Thursday - rest
Friday - Pilates
Saturday - full body gym and fencing lesson
Sunday - Fencing Tournament
Hoping everyone has a great week.
Keep on losing!
