Talk about your exercise experience today

[Ginger]

I didn't ride my bike for a couple nights because it's been so hot and humid.

But it rained today, and cooled down a bit, so I rode for just 45 minutes, around the park loop, then up and down the straight path flanking the park, then I felt a few drops of rain so headed home.

The neon yellow vest I ordered online came in the mail, and I wore it tonight. It was overcast and dusky out, but I felt pretty visible.

I was riding till 7:30, and now it's 7, as the light leaves earlier and earlier.

[Kelt]

This business of still being dark at 6:30 in the morning is cramping my style.

Went for early coffee up the street to wait for light. It rained on me. (just a wee sprinkle really) It's September not supposed to have precip for another 6 weeks or so. Hmm.

It was cloudy out and still I managed to opt for beach over gym. I keep thinking about how soon it will be all messed up with construction. Sort of a 'get it while the getting is good' mentality. Right.

6 miles to assuage my guilt.

Excellent day, all!

Warmed up on ye ole treadmill for 15, did lower body weight training with a smidge of ab work thrown in plus the experience of trying two new machines (sadly, they are not adjustable to my height/body design so I won't be using them on a regular basis) followed by half an hour on the Beast and then some stretching.

All in all, about 372 calories (that I could calculate) and 2.25 miles are in my rearview mirror.

Someone is very excited to find individual servings of Cracker Barrel cheese. Yum! Happy Friday the 13th to me!

= treadmill = 15 minutes at 1.0 miles per hour x 5 inch legs x 11 lbs = _____ Gemme calories?



divided by 645392-0.2 = ____ Kelt calories?


Daddy = no workout

He got his special "workout" one. It's the BIG treat. Otherwise, he is stuck with this little scrubby one that he gets after he poops in the morning.

You bribe your dog to poop?

I am late for work every morning, so yes.

This is how we roll.

When we wake up his organic food + plus anti-oxidant sprinkled berry powder + omega 3 oil is placed in his bowl. We go outside. He pees 'cause he is psyched to get to his food.

After Daddy gets ready for work, and is always late, he takes dog out and dog poops. Dog poops because he knows he gets a treat when he come in. The little scrubby treat, that is.

I figured that 5 inch legs would constitute running rather than walking. Plugged it into the calculator at Runners World and the results?

"The distance and time you entered represents an invalid pace."

They say you are mean.

Happy to help.

Actually, it is only a slightly brisk pace for the guy. Seems like it would be faster, I know.

This is something that pops into my mind now and then when I am out; if a 6 foot man takes a dachshund for a walk, who walks further?

Rhetorical, I know, the same distance. It just always looks like the dog is doing a lot more work.



Me, today: 4.5 miles on the beach. My hand has been called. The bulldozers are on the move. Gym tomorrow.

Do ya not have a promenade next to the beach to walk along?

Daddy should wake up earlier.

It's the sand that he likes.

I added some weight to my morning workout yesterday. It didn't seem like much, but I was a hot mess at the end of class, literally. By 4 o'clock ish, I was very sore and tired.

I'm taking a Zumba class this morning, cross your fingers for me; I cried at the last class.

:nocrosstalkpleaseandthankyou:

Yep, there is, but my shocks are blown so I like the soft stuff.

Barring that, the arc at the gym is zero impact. It's second choice but at least I have options. I can still go for a shorter stroll in the afternoons on the remainder for the fresh air/outdoor aspects.

[BullDog]

All I could manage to get myself to do yesterday was a 20 minute walk. I have already done that today as of 11:15 am, so hopefully I will do better today. I am off to the grocery store to buy healthy food. I sure wish I could find some decent avocados here, but so far no such luck.

[Chancie]

Zumba went just fine today. I think I'm too tired at the end of the school day to enjoy and feel successful in that class. But, I really need to get to the gym five days a week, for my own sanity. And I could hit another Group Power class on Sunday mornings but I'd rather do a little more cardio. There might be a plan to add Zumba on Sundays, which I would love.

[Gemme]

This morning's weigh in has me at one pound off of my goal. Woot! Any more is always welcome but I really want to hit that point (numbers on a scale are just that...numbers....and say nothing about a person's self-worth, etc....yes, yes, I know this but this is MY scale and MY number and so it is what it is).

Tonight there will be no gym. There will still be lifting and moving and grunting and shuffling and sweating, though, so I'm pretty sure it still counts.

[Metro]

So far today: 30" speed walk; 4 mile bike ride. Later: Raking up Sycamore tree bark; washing more windows (and the last prior to winter -- sheesh, there are a lot of windows in my little house); free weights; adding a few stretch band exercises to my routine.

[nycfem]

2.5 hours in the park: walking, rock climbing, swing-set swinging, up/down steps, arm exercises while walking (makes me look like a dork!)

It is a beautiful fall weather day. I saw the same group doing kung fu. I saw another group having a picnic. I always like to guess why the people are gathered together when it doesn't look like family or friends exactly. Pot-luck meet-up for serial killers?

I haven't exercised formally since Tuesday. It was a rough adjustment to school, meaning the hours and the mental energy and the time. My sleep was a mess all week. It was great to sleep in today and go to the park.
