Lets Post our Daily Exercise

Ok, wanted a rest day but had a big lunch so had to postpone it (yes, there was chips and salsa involved). Took it easy though. Brisk 3-mile walk, few minutes upper body weights, and few minutes Pilates.

Ruth, do you have the Fitbit Charge or the Charge HR? I'm putting one on my Mother's Day list 😀

Heidihill, you inspire me. My current daily step goal is 10k which I see you regularly beating. Way to go!

Cheryl, hope your eye feels better soon.

Wonderland, you had a full day! Hoping to put my garden in this coming weekend.

My exercise today was bootcamp tonight.

I didn't quite make my 10,000 steps; but I did pretty well. I took 2 walks, not brisk.

A short walk and just a little over 5k steps today. I came home and slept after work I was pooped. I need those voices saying go Angie go! Getting us to the work days again.

Cheryl, I was lost when I missed placed my Fitbit...... My goal is still 10k steps want to get were I hit the goal more constantly through the week.

Dunesleeper, I have not set up any challenges. I would be game to participate. Would be another source of inspiration to move. I would definitly be at the low end of the challenge..lol

Here we are, walking in the rain at the golf course. I'm subbing 8th grade again this afternoon. Wish me luck!

I have to report the death of my poor Fitbit. I found it in the driveway of my office right in the path of cars and trucks coming and going and of course it had been run over - more than once by the looks of it so guess I'm Fitbit shopping too Meljo

Did Sh'bam this morning, dancing always makes me happy and sweaty......

Sorry about your Fitbit, Cheryl.

Glad your subbing was peaceful, Ruth. Pretty picture and glad it rained for you.

Go Angie Go!

Hi All. I push mowed for 2 hours and then later fast walked/ran at the park.

Short walk today but no formal exercise. The walk gave me energy to push through the day and get dinner on when I got home. I am exhausted and hope that equates to a better nights sleep as last night - insomnia. Glad exercise gives us energy!

Thanks for the inspiration ladies helped me push through a walk today.

Thanks for the laugh Cheryl about the death of your fitbit. I've been spending hours in any free studio at my gym to practice for this weekend and pretty much got the cues and timing down, it's perfecting technique plus, the kiwi chat- scripted lines for each move that feels somewhat forced..I mean, I don't normally say "now we are going to train our backs, butts and bits". What are bits? Regardless, I'm saying it as we roll up to bridge pose on an inhale.

So that is me, focused on not trying to make a fool of myself this weekend, perfecting two tracks, one 8:03 and other 6:36 minutes long and gearing up to get through two days of 8 hours constant Les Mills energized motivation; akin to the Disneylandish' positive attitude. I'm also trying to figure out what to take to eat for lunch and snacks to take and have bars and gel packs at the ready. Then this negative head chatter goes on in the background, " you will be the oldest one there, these women can run rings around you, blah, blah, blah..." So I looked up oldest Les Mill instructor and found this:http://www.dailymail.co.uk/femail/article-2308108/If-white-haired-lady-76-year-old-fitness-instructor-proves-age-just-number.html

So there you go, 76 and going strong-gives this 59 year old hope!

LB, I love the 76 year old instructor with 'brilliant knees'! Get the negative chatter out of your head. You will be the most awesome person there, really you will be. It's easy to try something new when you are 28....it's when you are our age and still climbing out on the limb, taking a chance.....now that is cool!

*a song we do it my cardio sculpt class that always 'gets' to me starts out first with a clock ticking, and then the lyrics ask, "What are you waiting for?" And really, we shouldn't be waiting for anything.....what we want to do/try/experience, we should do NOW!

Now, I will get going & head to that class, zumba tonight. Tomorrow will probably be an off day because I am subbing all day & going to a baseball game. Natsfan, if you are reading this; after a slow start, the Twins are doing great, winning 6 of their last 7 games. Last night, their new rookie from Puerto Rico hit a homeroom on the first pitch of his first at bat in the majors. His whole family was there and they were going crazy with happiness. I thought they were going to leap from the stands and on to the field! So fun!!!!!!

good Morning, everyone!! Walked a total of 5 miles yesterday, and worked out at the gym this morning!! You all keep me so motivated!! Ruth, you are subbing a lot, that is great!!! Have a great weekend, everyone!!!

Kindergarten, it's the end of the year so people are trying to use their personal days, AND the weather gives us such a short spring they have to squeeze all the spring sports into a really small time frame....so lots of coaches need subs as well. One of the middle school teachers is in my Zumba class & I was pretty excited tonight when she told me tomorrow is the 'Student Council Teacher Appreciation Lunch'.....famous for the wide variety and great amounts of food.....I definitely picked the right day to sub....of course, I might fall asleep while teaching in the afternoon!

Bummer about the Fitbit, Cheryl. Sort of makes you feel like you 'lost' the day's exercise, doesn't it?

Bragging rights, here - worked out yesterday before heading to the hospital for surgery, ended the day with 11K + steps.

Did 65 minutes (walking) on the treadmill this afternoon.

Still cranky and depressed but at least my pedometer is happy.

5/7- 80 min yoga class tonight at the gym. Tomorrow is my final day of personal training (boo hoo!)

No formal exercise today. Not a good week for exercise. I did walk around the office today to ensure I "moved" and to get 6K steps I walked around the house.

M0mmy, next time I will dance around the house instead of walk much more fun.

Hopeful, you go! Hope your surgery went well.

Heidi, awesome!
