Flexercisers! I exercised today! - 3 Fat Chicks on a Diet Weight Loss Community

Just thought I would start a daily exercise thread for anyone on this board who wants to challenge themselves and/or get some inspiration to exercise daily

Exercise can range from taking your dog for a walk, playing with your kids in the park, taking the stairs at work, going to a class or gym - every little bit counts!

This morning I got up early and did a 30 minute pilates DVD

ooooooooh I am in! This morning I got up and walked for 40 mins (fast like I was late getting somewhere which I do five days a week) and MAY even do a leslie walk/jog later (I don't know it may happen,may not) This is 5-10 mins more than I normally do. Good going Mauvaisroux! I am trying to get a couple more steps in tha normal too. Lets go Chicks!

Way to go to you to kelly!

I did 30 minutes of pilates this morning

Did 30 minutes of pilates again this morning! If I don't watch out this might become a habit

kellyjoiii · 07-20-2005, 12:03 PM

WAHOOOOOOOO FOR YOU! Keep up the great job! I too got up and did my exercise....35 mins walk today. It is such a habit that I cant NOT do it! Yesterday I met my goal of 10000 steps (I am going day by day) -whether I get that today...who will know. But the big thing is I succeeded in my daily walk (which gave me another 1.5 points wooohooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo ooooooooooo)
Ok, I need to go fold clothes....Be back later!

good going kelly!

I did 30 minutes of pilates this morning, a 30 minute walk at lunch time.

I may do some gardening tonight if it is not too hot (and if we don't get a thunderstorm

)

I did 30 min biking back and forth to my art class, and 25 min walking the dog in the evening. I leave for camping this weekend, which means lots of swimming, hiking, biking and canoeing. Can't wait!

Good going Allie!

Today I decided I was sleeping in

So I went for a 30 minute walk at lunch and will do some yoga when I get home tonight.

Does fighting with DH count???

I sure feel drained. But, we get to make up later. I KNOW that counts as exercise.

sherry1215 · 07-22-2005, 10:18 PM

Oh God Emerald...you are too funny!

Ummm.....I really enjoying READING about everyone exercising....does that count for something???
Okay...maybe you all will inspire me to do something.....

Emerald · 07-23-2005, 01:01 AM

Okay. In addition to

I also walked a mile. I jogged across the street and kept jogging for a bit. Quite proud of me.

Hope you're inspired, Sherry!

mauvaisroux · 07-25-2005, 10:29 AM

Emerald -

yeah that does count

Saturday I did about 4 hours of gardening and then did about 3 hours of walking with a friend on Sunday.

This morning I did 30 minutes of pilates again

kellyjoiii · 07-25-2005, 01:35 PM

This weekend I did the normal stuff and yesterday we went to a waterpark for a few hours....today I kicked it up and did 45 mins w/some jogging mixed in and some leg exercises. Tomorrow I will do the same. I have decided to meet a 45 mins/day requirement since I have been doing 30/day for almost 4 mos.

I already posted this in the weekly chat...but I am getting this used piece of equipment from my mom called a Gazelle (sp?) it is like a sking machine...have any of you tried this? Will I love 30 pounds in one week by using it? Cause that is really what I am hoping for .
