Exercise club

Yesterday I went for a 3 hour hiking meetup and managed to do one hour of it, ascents in slush and mud. I was WIPED out by it and crashed early. Showed me how much I need to get in shape!

That is brilliant for you, a challenge is always good Keep it up.

Skipped my stair-climbing exercise for today but still had my exercise because I walked to the grocery store instead of riding the bus. So if I skip one kind of exercise, then I make up for it by doing another kind.

30 minutes on the exercise bike. Wheee!

Yesterday I did a 2 hour hike, first half all ascent, about 1000 feet. It was warmish in the sun but chilly and windy in the shade and near the summit. Went with a new friend. Was just right amount, kinda kicked my ass but I made it!

Congrats to all who are meeting/surpassing their goals.... Well I have managed to go to gym almost every day and do 1 hour of cardio (spin, step, ab workout, swim) most days, then do weights every other day, short swim to cool down and on Day 21 of the 30 Day Abs challenge...haven't noticed a thing yet ...but alo realizing that took time for weight to get on so have to be more patient than want to be in getting it off...the goal of being in shape is aways away....

Just did 30 minutes of exercise, it feels good. I'm going to try to do the same for every day this week, some days it can be hard to find the motivation but like @Kiwi2016 has said we didn't put on the weight over night so we must be patient in trying to lose it. Let's all get fit and healthy. Go team SF.

Been working out again, went to classes three consecutive days and again yesterday. Contemplating working out at home for 30 minutes or going to a class again at the gym.
Thanks for the thread it helped me find motivation

 

[Petal]

This thread has given me motivation to exercise, just exercised for 30 minutes, it feels great

Got in 3 bike rides this week.

 

[ravens]

Had to kick my ass back into healthy routine today with a run/hike combo up the mountain. Then did a few core exercises after for me back.

 

[arbitrarybarry]

Another 3 bike rides this week, including one hour+ ride. A-huffin' and a-puffin', but building back that endurance.

 

[Kiwi2016]

Well, I've fallen by the way side over the last week but am determined to get back on track...back did a weird twingy-like thing last night so decided would skip step class but instead to treadmill for 20 and then swim for 30...just to ease back into it all. You are all amazing...and seeing this thread again has renewed my inspiration...

 

[Woowoo]

I've had quite a good week for exercise. I've walked every day, although only a short walk today, and I did a pilates class on Thursday.

 

[Petal]

I have done 30 minutes of exercise every day for the last 3 days, 1

 

[arbitrarybarry]

Got in 4 bike rides this week, keeping at it. Pushing myself decently hard, but focusing more on making the room in my schedule to turn it into a habit.

 

[Petal]

1 hour of exercise done today, feel great now that its done for today

 

[DouglasW]

Last 2 days I got in one hour hikes up the mesa, so first half ascent, second descent. I also did a few sets with dumbells the other day -- 2x10 biceps and 2x10 lat extensions. I need to do a larger workout there.

 

[arbitrarybarry]

Going strong with the bike routine, got it at the beginning of last month so that is a good start. Going to maintain it for March. Would like to work something else in, such as walks or weights, not sure yet.

I've been doing 5k runs with walking mixed in about every second day. I also downloaded an app called "home workout" that I have been using since it uses no equipment. It's a lot of push up type stuff and crunches. It's good for core strengthening and cab get some decent shoulder workout and legs but hard to get a good arm workout in without weights. What I like about it is it guides you through the exercises kinda motivates me like a coach. Some days I'll do 2 of the workouts if the one wasn't hard that day. I just need to stop night snacking otherwise I am doing very good lately.
