When do you exercise? Morning? Night? Mid day?
~lisa #1
Whenever I can! Morning gives me a boost all day. Mid day does also. If I wait until after work then, it is too easy to blow it off. In a perfect world I would every morning.

I nearly always work out after work, occasionally before work.

left work at a semi-reasonable hour and skated on the Platte for awhile. feels good to be able to sweat outdoors again (without having it freeze to your face) should be 70plus today. all the snow (all 14 inches) is melted and i am truly ready for Spring

On weight days, I hit the gym at 6:30-7:00 am. Runs at lunch
~terry #5
Light swim today, about 20 minutes at lunchtime. Backstroked it the whole time.
~Cafe #6
About 45 minutes in the morning during the winter. Light weights & sit-ups.

morning, afternoon, evening or (if at the gym) at night. I love to sweat, I love to feel 'the burn', I love to be able to eat whatever the heck I want and only fear losing too much weight (because it all comes out of the boobs first!)

I exercise my lungs and eyes (REM) while I'm asleep. So it's like off and on during the day & also the night.

*laugh* thanks for sharing Leplep!

Dont' worry about the boobs.
~stacey #11

ok, stacey, i'm here! i do spinning twice a week (40 minutes ea session). it's fun and it's a good workout. we've been doing it for a month now but have only started going twice a week. having missed 2 classes, i've finally got to the point where i can keep up without having to sit down for most of the workout. i love to sweat and this is the way to do it.

Wolfie, what is spinning? never heard of it. sounds like it'd make me dizzy *lol*
~wolf #14
it's a stationary bike but not like the typical ones you find at the gym. it has a free wheel which you pedal. you can stand up and cycle and everything. it's almost like putting your regular bike up on blocks. you have to use a break to stop because the wheel doesn't stop when you stop pedalling. i'll see if i can find a website or something to better explain the program.
~sociolingo #15
Sounds different! I'm hoping to get to the gym by 7 am tomorrow and get back into routine again. My rowing times are coming down, and I still may enter the competition if I can get fit enough.
~MarciaH #16
Take care, my dear...moderation in all things Maggie!
~sociolingo #17
I heard!
~stacey #18
are you back into the routine???
~sociolingo #19
No, I'm in too much pain. I gave up today, will try again tomorrow. CFS is a bummer!!! I feel like I'm wading through treacle, everything is an effort.
~stacey #20
How about today? Feeling better?
~ApeRider #21
Get a buddy, walk, run, bike ride, weight train just mix it up three times a week anything is better than nothing. Just reinforce each others participation and you'll have fun and stick to your schedule. Don't make it work! Walk stairs, use the push mower once in a while instead of the rider. Lift things correctly. Turn boring tasks into mini execises.
~terry #22
I try walking up and down as many stairs as I can.

Anyone exercising?
~stacey #24
5:30am MWF - running ocassional gym visits and long runs on the weekends
~terry #25
I'm cycling every day now, but some days it's just a short ride through the woods. I've got a great 15 mile course from here to Bastrop and back. Do you think 15 miles is a good enough daily cycling workout or should I extend it? I'm looking forward to the Tour de France again this summer and watching it on OLN to get more inspiration to keep cycling. And of course I'm swimming, but it's harder to push yourself to long swims in a small 32' pool and I'm too far from Barton Springs being out in Bastrop. Tell us about those long runs, what distances and are you timing them?
~stacey #26
3 - 6 miles during the week and 10-14 on the weekends...
~terry #27
That's a pretty decent work. I need to add running to the cycling and swimming. The heat here is getting pretty intense. You know, Texas summers.
