I used to work out very regularly and really enjoyed it. I did things properly, in a health fun way. Felt very good about my energy level and ability to work out but in the past two years I’ve let normal family issues really get to me and I’ve been ignoring my health. I periodically work out, espeically if I’m out of town and think I’m going to keep it up but I don’t.

This seems like a good way to have some accountability even if it’s with a computer.

OK. Sitting at my desk most of the day so I just did 25 dips at the chair. It’s easy to start but keeping up will be the challenge.

Thanks Kashi!!!

I have been working hard on this one. I keep focusing on making sure that I am testing my strength and also making sure that I am trying new things for my body.

I started learning how to do a push up yesterday! It was hard, but changing from my normal routine felt great! I’m glad to know I’m working my muscles in new ways!

This is something I have been trying to do! For my arms and upper body strength, I am going to learn to do push ups instead of only relying on weight lifting.

I love going to the gym. I am there every other day and I definetly change my routine everytime. Then the days in between the gym I do cardio at home.
My favorite is spinning!

i started physical therapy for a back problem and choose the water therapy i really like this type its relaxing and also helps stretch my muscles that i dont often use

I am currently 20 weeks pregnant, and I still work out 6 days a week. I do at least 30 minutes of cardio every day and strength train 3 days a week. Although I have had to modify my workouts somewhat, I’m still getting them in and able to do more than I think I can. I love it! I get compliments on my rockin’ arms all the time. Who says I can’t be a fit mama-to-be?

I am going to try and exercise every other day with on demand exercise videos. I like that I can pick what I like and do it any where I have a t.v. I also ride my bike in the yard weather permitting.

I have been doing Taebo advanced now 2-3 times a week and run on the treadmill the other days for a couple months it has started to show muscle mprovement, but i need to step it up now so I have ordered the complete taebo bootcamp workout so I will try it and we will see! I am so excited I cant wait!

I have been changing my walking routine. I walk for 2 minutes and run for 3

I have run 4 to 6 miles everyday this summer and have started biking 10 or so miles on Wednesdays. I have been very good a sticking with this exercise but I need to get the chocolate in check because I have not had much weight management success.

started a new workout this week using mostly machines,will do this for 2 weeks then change to dumb bells

I walk 30mins. everyday and I am starting to feel really good! I have a long way to go but I am off to a great start thanks in part to Kashi’s whole grain products!!

I started with basic squats and leg lifts.I am really out of shape but it feels good to start

I’m going to resume taking fitness classes at the fitness center that is at the hospital that I work at. There are some really excellent trainers that teach the classes & they really push you to perform beyond what you would normally do when working out independently. One instructor has been doing classes using kettle bells, an extremely intense workout that I’ve really enjoyed.

My strength routine is something I get paid for1 I work in a fish and seafood dept. And there is stainless steel to keep clean everywhere! I am the main cleaner in the dept. I scrub, polish and dry every inch of stainless steel in the dept. I also do the scrubbing of the walk-in cooler, the ice tables and our huge tile flooring.

One of the best things that I have found is to make housework and running errands into an exercise. I don’t park as close to the store for example and put on leg weights as well as arm weights while house cleaning. I also use this when I am running errands.

I just started to skip early in the morning and after that I try to do atleast half hour of fitness video.

I too am diabetic, type II—I have lost 45 pounds and am trying to walk daily for 30-45 minutes. I find this hard to do because I work full time-sedentary most of the work day, but have recently started power walking at lunch time and eating my lunch at my desk.. Alos drink plenty of water before and after your walking.

Like thor8699, I received a letter from my doctor that said my blood sugar was in the diabetic range. That was my wake-up call. I started walking, dusted off the elliptical machine and joined Curves. With a proper diet and daily exercise, I am feeling great and determined to improve my health.

Just started back power-walking after a five year lapse. Found out I’m diabetic, so exercise and diet will play a major role in my health. I’ve lost 17 pounds in the last 2 months….not so great, but it’s a start.

Pulled out my old copy of You: The Owners Manual to follow their strength training crib sheet – Day 5:)

My family and I are going to start riding bicycles everyday weather permitting and doing some mild indoor exercise on bad weather days so that we can get fit together. Hopefully doing this as a family we will be able to encourage each other when needed.

I have sleep apnea, and the Dr told me that if I loose 50 pounds, I could be retested, and maybe not need the mask. I’m trying, and use water weights during my water exercise class, 3 times a week.

I’ve started doing leg lifts when I want to look at magazines. It’s walking and hiking regardless of the heat tomorrow (live in Florida)...thankfully Fall is on its way! Hallelujah!

Sounds great! I am going to start working out at my lunch hour and am going to incorporate strength training into my routine! This will be a great chance to become more fit while also allowing time for my sports activities for after work!
