Exercise With Me 9/7-9/11 WEEK 7

I am really pleased with last week's effort - I managed an exercise walk on 5 days, with one further day having as many steps as my walk days just from my general activities.

This week, I hope to continue in the same vein - walk for at least 30 minutes on at least 5 days.

Today I did nothing at all, but my goal is to do arm stuff the rest of the week. I cannot wait to get my knee looked at so I can start pedaling. I miss it.

My goals are to get up from my desk every 1-1.5 hours and make a loop around the inside of the house and up and down the stairs. I usually only have 5 min between meetings, if that, so I’ve got to do quick things. But this is a good start, I think.

My goals: continue to close my rings daily. Go for walks (in addition to my other workouts) at least three times. Focus on my nutrition. Last week I ate healthier during the week and lost the 2-3 lbs that I had gained. But over the weekend we had to go out of town for a baseball tournament and had to eat out every meal. So, I’m back up.

Yesterday I did 30 min on the elliptical and then a 20 min lower body strength.

I ran/ walked a 10 k on Sunday, so my goal is group exercise the rest of the week. It may rain Wednesday or Thursday so I will have to compensate there somehow.

Walk everyday and spin and run alternating days. Got on my bike this morning and my favorite trainer is no longer one of their instructors 👎. I really need to increase my water intake too.

Welcome! It's great to have you here.

I've been mostly walking this week. It's been HOT though, so not much! Today it's cooler, so we started off with a 1.5 mile walk with the dogs this morning. I'm visiting my daughter, and she has a 2 story house, so I've also added stairs the last couple of days! I have to be very careful on the stairs because I have a bad knee, and I sure don't want a problem with it!! I brought my knee brace with me just in case I need it. It's only 76 degrees today, so I'm loving the break in the oppressive heat!! Our air quality probably isn't too good because of the fires in California--so don't want to have breathing problems either. There was ASH on the cars this morning. And yesterday, the sun was RED because of the fires.  Sunday and Monday I wasn't feeling too well because it was just too hot to do anything!  So, today has been much better!

I did a great walk/run yesterday. I did a total of 3.2 miles, and it felt so good. Planning on a bike ride at lunchtime today with DH. He's working at home, so we thought we'd do something together.

BTW Skellinton I bought the Schwinn IC4 you recommended -- just waiting for delivery. I'm very happy that I'll have something to work out on this winter.

It's Friday! I slacked this week. I only completed 2 rides so far but also went hiking on Monday. Hopefully I will get in 2 more rides this week. I have yet to do a kickboxing boot camp class. I need to either commit to getting back on track with that or give up the membership. It's too expensive to not use.

Today is my third workout of the week. This is the first time since I started back at the gym that I haven’t wanted to go. I’m at a scrapbooking retreat and have to drive back to my gym for class. But since I started back I have gone twice a week for the first 3 weeks and 3 times a week every week since. So I’m not ruining that just because I’m being lazy!
