do YOU exercise?

Meee · 03-25-2009, 05:18 PM

i read in my New NH&WL book where Barry Groves says that we ARE already Exercising because for example at My Weight of 271 lbs i am Carrying Around All This Weight EVERY SINGLE DAY... and that IS exercise... what i want to know is Does ANYONE Really EXERCISE exercise? not just Walking, but Real Strenous Exercise? at My Weight and Age (49) i cant do ALOT but i DO walk everyday... and i guess once i start losing weight and get smaller i will do MORE... but for now im just Walking...
ANOTHER QUESTION??? does ANYONE ever look Outside Of That March Madness Thread??? because the only Person/Veteran that really ever answers the Newbie Questions and has been here a while and really knows anything is Carolyn... does Anyone Else ever pop in out here??? ANYWAYS... back to my Question... Do YOU Exercise

The exercise board is FULL of people that workout

Mee: You need to come to the March Challenge Board for general questions..Peeps pop in there the most.

Alot of us on the Challenge Board do exercise. I do Curves 5 times a week, Sandy does the gym and walking, Mary Kay does spinning.

For me, it's not about weight loss, but keeping my muscles going and being more flexible.
I don't kill myself, but I do notice that when I exercise I do feel better.

Probably at this point, walking is good for you until you lose a bit more weight. Walking is good for anyone, I think. Just do what you will do..

I'll send some of the March ladies over here..

And Gord does his elipitical machine all the time.

I'll be 47 on May 6th. I do a strenuous weights workout 5 days/week. My younger sis (13 yrs. my junior) is a personal trainer and designed a program for me. Believe me, it's killer! I hate doing it, but it feels so good after I'm done and I get a great sense of accomplishment just knowing I've done something good for my body. Just do what you can... every little bit helps.

I'm off to do my workout now ~ 20 min. of hill intervals followed by 100 quadreps. I will be doing this while I cover my greys. Hey, a girl has to multi-task sometimes LOL

Mee....I think one of the things that I

the most about Barry Groves is that he doesn't push exercise....I can't stand it and even though I occasionally go through phases where I use my eliptical or my Wii Fit I just go through the motions and never learn to love it as some do....I wish I loved it....

About checking other threads in the forum you are right...I guess many of us don't...I always pop into the User Control Panel and find replys to my regular threads....a couple of times a week I remember to check the forum for new posts but not often....I really do try and reply it's just that if you don't know a new thread exists then you can't...I will try more but the truth is that if you want a speedy reply to random questions you are best off to post in the monthly chat thread....all kinds of topics come up there...and we all check it often...or at least daily in most cases...don't be shy...just jump in

Sorry, I don't check new threads very often either. I too just pop into my user control panel and look at the threads I'm subscribed to. I'll try to do better.
To answer your ?? though, I workout 3x a week with weights and try to walk at least 3x a week too. When the weather is nice I walk more often. I just turned 59 and I love how much energy working out gives me. Plus I know it's great for our bones as we get older and I feel good when I can see toned muscles under my skin. Vanity!! But really, I do feel good so I like to do it. Just start slow so you don't hurt yourself.

I'm taking a bit of a break because giving up carbs is killing my energy but normally I do the firm, walk and play on wii fit.

BTW: I got motivated by a stupid infomercial and for kicks and giggles I decided to for once in my life exercise for ONE month just to see what happened. The firm came with a workout routine that was 5 days a week and honestly it wasn't that hard. I measured myself before and after and in 31 days I lost SIX inches off my waist and belly. Now that I know it works its easier to get motivated.

I do weights for 20 min 3-4 times a week. Muscle mass equals metabolism. You need to keep muscle mass to keep your metabolism up. You will look much better when your muscles are toned. I hate aerobics. I wish I didn't. I find i get the most bang for my buck with weights.
