Are You Doing Any Exercise for Fitness?

LOL......I like they guy that says he does one sit-up per day....Half in the morning when he gets up, and the other half @ night, when he lays down...........
 

I walk 6 days/week. I do floor exercises 3 times/week & I go to the gym 2 times/week. Sunday is the only day I do nothing much. Keeping fit is very important to me. I have been a life long walker & have enjoyed travelling over the years.

Any time something that heavy moves, they're exercising. :)
Besides, I'm not sure all that weight is fat. And animals that spend lots of time in cold water are supplied with blubber so they don't freeze - seals, manatees, walruses.

In a thread such as this, it would mean more if people's age was known. I can't begin to describe how great a difference there is (in exercising) for my wife and I, when we were in our 60's, then 70's and now in our mid 80's. As one sits, reading through the posts, wondering why they can't equal the amount of exercise that others are completing, it may just be that they are older and more frail. But they have no way of knowing if they compare, age-wise with the poster. Just a thought.:)

It's a wise thought. Exercise is a double-edged sword. It has to be age-appropriate, otherwise it does harm.
We know what happens to older people who don't understand that.

I'm trying to picture that in my mind.

😂Haha. Here’s a picture of the ball I use

And here is the DVD I use. It’s with Suzanne Deason
I’ve been posting that this workout is one hour long but it’s probably closer to 55 minutes. I skip over the introduction that explains about the without.

Today I did a fast walk for an hour and 55 ish minutes of balance ball.

Note: when I say balance ball it’s actually a workout using a combination of yoga and Pilates. The DVD is filmed on Maui Island. I find it very enjoyable.
 
It's important to get out even if it is raining or snowing. Dress for it.

I walk or ride a bike at least one mile every day to have coffee with friends. The car rarely gets driven now.

I'm surprised no one plays golf. Great exercise and fun.

That is if you walk and carry your own clubs.

I walk outside 6 days/week. If the weather is real bad, then I walk indoors as the complex where I live is long & it has 4 floors. I also do floor exercises each morning 3 times/week & go down to the gym 2 times/each week. Getting exercise & keeping fit is pretty important for this ole' packer.
 
My husband and I just put the bike rack on our car and are going to be heading to the beach bike path on Tuesday, we are really excited! We have both built up our stamina pretty well and are now ready to tackle the longer courses.
 
I've been avoiding looking at this thread because I just haven't exercised in very long. Well, I was in Physical Therapy earlier this year if that counts as exercise. Trying to get to getting on the floor, putting youtube on and do some good stretching exercises. That's my goal-don't know when I'll get to it but I have it in mind...;)

I miss occasionally if it's raining hard or if I have some other issue.

So far in 2019 I've walked 288 out of 315 days. That's a 91.4% compliance rate. I figure as long as I am at 90% or above I'm OK.
 
Scale check. This morning I was 194 in my underwear.

Now, after breakfast and with all my clothes on it reads exactly 200.

I am now going to a doctor's appointment. I'll see how close my scale is to theirs.
 
Got to the doctors office for my appointment and they inform me that my appointment isn't until next Wednesday, the 20th. :mad:

Of course I didn't bring my appointment card so I don't know if it's my mistake or theirs.

So all the way home I'm wondering whether I am going to have to eat crow, or get a nice big portion of righteous indignation.

When I get home I look at my appointment card and it says my appointment is today, Nov. 13th.

So righteous indignation it is!:)

This is the second time a doctors office has done this. The last time it was for one of my wife's appointments.

So from now on I'm going to make sure I bring my appointment card with me.
 
I just realized I made the last two posts in the wrong thread.

I meant to post them in the one about weight maintenance.

My bad.
 
Exercise my arm when I lift my wine glass to my mouth...😂

I stretch every morning and at night. I do a little, I mean a little Yoga every other day. At night I don't feel as stiff so I put on music (Alexa) and dance.. I dance every other night...I love it, takes away some of the muscle tightness.
 
I had a great workout today - 2 hours.
I watched a scary movie & let my flesh creep.
