How will you execise this week?

I always have to plan out my exercise for the week, otherwise it does not happen!   Let's hear what your plans are.  If you don't have any exercise plans, take a few minutes to decide what and when and make your committment here on the boards!  

Good idea LisaJoy!!  I kinda fell off the wagon this past week-cramps/heat/headache conspired against me.  My usual plan is too walk the mile from the parking into work, and again back at the end of the day.  I skipped that this morning as my back has been hurting.  time for some pain meds....grrr.  I need to build in some stretching time.  Anyone have some good suggestions for some stretches that will help my abs/lower back?
I plan to walk over lunch-even if it rains, I can cruise around the hospital indoors and climb stairs-that is a workout!
have a great week-

I love these types of posts!

This week I will be walking
- I'll park further from the door no matter where I have to go
- I will walk on my breaks at work
- I will walk at least a mile each day on the road

And I too need to work in some stretches... I also want to get back to lifting weights.  My arms are working too well as fans lately...  need to get some toning going!!

Thanks LJ!

*hugs*

Walking for me too!  I won't walk outside in this heat, but my parents gave me an old treadmill pre-surgery.  It's kind of scary but I'm going to give it a try.  If it turns out to be not right for me then I will have my parents return and help DH and me take it to the dump.

I am hoping to start biking this week, (need to buy a bike first) otherwise it will be, mucking stalls, training and riding horses.   I do have to purchase some hay this week so I guess unloading 50 bales of hay could be considered my weight lifting/toning excersise. lol

I wish I had more time to actually exercise...with horses and kids schedule during the summer doesnt leave much time for me... I know poor excuse!!  But I will say, I am not being a couch potato either.  I am on the go, and it always is physical activity...some days even find myself playing softball or kickball with my kids...never was able to do that before..YEA!!!

Happy exercising everyone!!

Walking, walking and more walking!!

I will be biking with my grandson Nic and my granddaughter Amanda
while I am in Iowa this weekend. Amanda is going with me to visit Nic, Grace, my daughter Jamie and SIL Travis. We are leaving on Thursday. I use my daughters bike and Grace rides in her little seat in the back.
That will be great fun!!

Hugs.....connie d

I've been shamefully, horrible about exercising since surgery 2-months ago. But I am finally psyched about starting something that will help speed up weight loss and tone flabby skin.

Before surgery I tried to start the Couch Potatoe to 5k run program http://www.coolrunning.com/engine/2/2_3/181.shtml and about died trying to run for 1-min. in the beginning.  So let's see what I can do 43 pounds less.

Hey Lisa, great post!!!  This is my plan for the week:

Monday- Run in PM after work
Tue- do upper body and abs
Wed- Run before work Bike after
Thurs- upper body shoulders and abs
Friday- Rest day
Sat - Rest day
Sunday - Run and bike.

It seems the more consistant i am the more control over weight I have.

First part of my plan involved DH lugging up the recumbant bike from the basement yesterday . I'm determined to get on that thing for at least 10 minutes Tuesday morning.  That's start I guess.
