Exercise

What are you doing currently for exercise?  Please share how many months out you are, what you are doing, and how many times a week you are doing the activity.  (also the intensity level) Thanks! 

I am over 2 years out.  I am VERY irregular with my exercise.  I go from 3x a week running 5km to nothing another week.  I did boot camp 3x a week last month, and the last two weeks I've done very little except for work and housework.

I wish I was more disciplined...

I started running at 3 months from surgery and have been running ever since. I am 9.5 months out and I run 5-10k every other day and bike 16k every day. I should say I am on a mission right now. I am volunteering to work in Nicaragua for 3 months next year and running/biking/walking the distance is a fundraiser for me, so I am moving like crazy to get the miles in. I think if I didn't have the motivation I could get pretty lazy. I've got about 850k done of my 3553k journey.

Keeping on the move has become a joy for me and since I started in the dead of winter I found I don't have to be afraid of running in the cold.

 i am pre-op... but i count everything that gets my butt moving and sweating....

i cut the grass.. now for some that may not seem like a lot but i have 1+ acres and i have a push mower thats 2+ hours

i will do a 3k hike with the dogs

swim for 40 minutes

i try for 3 days a week min... 

 I try to get out and walk my dog as often as i can every day 30 min's, dancing 1 or 2  times a week at the clubs for about 3 hours, reg house work and if i am able the wii fit.

i would like to get the dance for the wii i heard its a lot of fun.

Joy

I had surgery in 2009 but  I have had some problems. Going for surgery tomorrow to get things fixed. Even with my problems I am training everyday except for one day off. I do running, biking swimming strength training, kick boxing. I am training for a tri a tri triathlon. I am also going to do a 21k run in Nov and training for that will start at the end of July along with training for triathlon. As soon as I came home from my operation I was out there the next day walking  3times a day.  As I got stronger I went further. The intesity level is pretty high with run training. At this point all my activities are high. I have a great coach who believes in me and helps me to keep it high.

Barb, wishing you the VERY best tomrrow!  I'll be thinking of you. XOXOXO
