Failing, failing, failing lol I've only briefly exercised on a weight machine and that's about it. I really don't like summer or getting up earlier. I might have to explore other ways of exercising, rather than going for a run. *sigh*

Edit: In my original post I said I hated winter... I meant summer lol

Just reading all of your concerted efforts as individuals is really inspiring. What a great bunch of committed individuals that are gathered here.

katerina11: I understand your excitement. I "discovered" body building back in the early 80s and although I am no where at the place I once was; the thrill that comes from finding out how strong you can be is so empowering. I applaud you for grabbing this golden opportunity.

Rhiko: I understand. As my RA has worsened over the past couple of years, I had to try a lot of different work out programs until I could find one that "fit" me. If you like to run, how about an indoor track or on a treadmill (yes, I know the experts say its not the same but sometimes you just have to wait until weather permits to be outdoors).

For everyone else, I am psyched just reading what y'all are doing, in spite of this dreary, cold, never ending winter all of us are having.

So: here's my daily tally up to now:

Week 1:

2/1: stretching, 33 squats + 1 pushup; steps+
2/2: treadmill 30 mins., strength w/o-30 mins; 34 squats + 2 pushups; steps+
2/3: walking on treadmill 30 mins.; 35 squats + 3 pushups; steps+
2/4: stretching, treadmill, strength w/o-40 mins.; 35 squats + 4 pushups;steps+
2/5: chair boxing dvd-25 mins.; 36 squats + 5 pushups; steps+
2/6: stretching, walking; 37 squats + 6 pushups steps+
2/7: chair boxing dvd-25 mins; treadmill; 38 squats + 7 pushups; steps+

Week 2:

2/8: strength exercises with free weights; 39 squats + 8 pushups; steps+
2/9: walking on treadmill; 40 squats + 9 pushups; steps+
