Okay, I'm getting lazy with the workouts here lately so I need y'all to inspire me. What are you doing today to keep moving?

I'm planning on going for a 4 mi walk this evening when the sun goes down, but I should probably do something else before then. Something strength training related.

So, tell me your workout plans for the day!

I am going to the swimming pool. When I was in college I was on the water polo team and was a very strong swimmer. I used to do 100 laps every evening after work. As I got fatter and fatter, I did not swim except on vacations and such because I was so fat that I could not drag my body through the water. When I started losing weight this time, I could only do one trip from the narrow side of the pool. Now after losing weight I can now swim a few laps the long way in the pool. Feels so good to be in the water and feel all my old muscles working together. Maybe I am not so fast but it feels real good and does not hurt my poor knees.

4 miles? girl, that's a workout! lol but I had to post since I made my first 30 minutes today. I'll get there! I have visions of being a runner or atleast fast walker going all over the neighborhood. After reading the above post, I'm thinking I may hit the pool...and give my knees a break this afternoon. If we are there right when it opens maybe it won't be too crowded. I'm like you, I need motivation everyday! Knowing I have to face my 3 month appt with the dr in 2 months...got me up and moving today. have a GREAT day! Sherry

I HAVE a swimming pool and cannot make my sorry self get out and swim. I love to lie on a float in the sun though.

Hearing you say that it is easier now has motivated me to get out there this afternoonand do my first half lap (that's probably all I can do to start with).

yea i have a pool too and LOVE to sit in the sun..i found that if i have music on it helps me to get dancing around the pool and even in the pool....dacning in the pool is so much different than dancing on land tho....i now have a pair of weights for the pool to use..just got them, have not had the chance to use them yet due to tropical storm Debby....now i have to filter the pool and get it ready to use..
good luck

I started going to the gym last week, have been spending about an hour there every day. My surgeon/excersise phys. says at least 30 mins a day so an hour is good in my opinion at 10 weeks out. I have been doing 20-30 min cardio and the rest strength training on the weight machines. I feel much better after starting excersising.

if you need some motivation or inspiration try looking at the daily workout threads on the Exercise and Fitness forum

Today I am still recovering from travel but tomorrow is a 5 mile run.
