Exercise With Me 8/10-8/14 Week 3

I'm gonna keep walking. I chalked up a lot of miles this past week--today I walked 7.1

My goal is to ... listen to my body. I'm getting a shingles vaccine and I hear it can affect you. So I'll do 10,000 steps and arm exercises every day I am not affected. I did hit my goal weight, yay. It's slightly over the BMI charts, sorry BMI people, but this is where I feel really good.

Thank you!  I had to start slower--about 1-2 miles a day--then increased it.  Yesterday is the first day I did that much.  The day before it was 6.7 though!!

Hi all! I had a bad week (ed) last week with not making exercise a priority! Boy I regret that. I'm dressed and about to go on my long walk w/DD.

Later this eve I'll hit the local big hill hike Tarantula Hill. Let's do this!

Just finished my 30 minute bike ride. I finally remembered that the Ic4 resistance is different from the peloton resistance, so last week when they said to be at 25 resistance I was actually at 40. Today’s ride was much better since I had my cheat sheet right there.

I also get my new bike seat today, I am hoping that helps for comfort. The list 5 minutes are agony on my bits. I asked on another thread about seats and everyone said I just had to get used to it, but almost all the reviews of the ic4 mention the torture device that is the seat, more so for women. I ordered a seat designed for ladies that looks very different. Hopefully it is less bruise inducing.

My goal is to ride 30 minutes every morning.

Great job everyone, reading about your various activities inspire and motivate me!

I was excited to workout Tuesday, Thursday and Friday this week. But I have a hair appointment Tuesday during lunch instead 

So tonight I’m going on a group dog walk with my friends. It will be our first one since the beginning of March. Yes, mask and social distancing will be done

Hopefully I can do some type of exercise Tuesday and Wednesday so Thursday doesn’t hurt so bad!

Monday - 23 miles on the peloton today. A 30 minute 70s ride, followed by a 20 minute 80s ride, and a 30 minute scenic ride through British Colombia to finish:)

Did a slow dog walk with friends tonight. I love getting out with them, but our pace drives me nuts! I’m a very quick walker with long legs. We poke 

Tonight it didn’t bother me like it used to, probably since this is the first time I’ve seen them since the beginning of March!

We walked 1.6 miles but it only counted as 2 minutes of exercise 

Did my 30 minute ride this morning, the new seat was heavenly. I didn’t wince when I sat down and didn’t want to quit halfway through the ride due to pain in my privates.
Since I have never really exercised like this before (regularly and enjoying it) I am going to stick with 30 minute rides for 2 weeks then take longer or harder rides. My goal this week is to do it every day and be proud of myself.

It is too hot for me to walk outside, but man I hate trying to get steps in without going outside,

Steamy two mile walk with the dog first thing this morning. It really is oppressively hot for outdoor exercise right now.

I’m going to do a nice vinyasa yoga flow later. And DH and I have decided to join the tiny gym close to our house as soon as I’m cleared for weight bearing exercise. It’s just cardio machines and weights, no frills, and it’s pretty easy to find a time when no one else is there.

Tuesday - 20 miles on the peloton. 10 minute climb ride, 30 minute 90s ride, and a beautiful 30 minute scenic ride through Costa Rica and Hawaii.

Great job!  I ordered myself more pairs of the ultra soft Old Navy leggings, they are so comfy and they actually look good.  I agree about looking cute, I know it is shallow but when I look better I feel better!  
I need to add in arm exercises, I will try those tomorrow night.
