My last walk today was 220 metres, absolutely knackered, but so happy.
Good on ya' Swim......

Re: Post your daily exercise routine

Due to family bereavement, plus both my wife's and my car packing up and some sheer bad luck causing mild depression I put my exercise regime on hold for almost two months. That is probably the longest span in over thirty years that I haven't been training. I put weight on mostly around the belly, though gained some excess flab around other areas too.

Luckily I've largely sorted this problem out with some very intensive training, mainly with weights, over the past couple of weeks and my weight is stabilising again. I've also put on some lean muscle.

It's always difficult to gauge muscle vs. fat, but at the end of the day I think it's how one feels within themselves coupled with how the clothes fit and a simple visual check that determines our self-esteem and how happy we are with our health and how our bodies look. A correct diet is key to all of this.

Re: Post your daily exercise routine

Hi

I have a new toy, a step counter combined with a heart rate monitor.

Absolutely brilliant thing, gives me loads of encouragement but stops me overdoing things.

Walking also makes me feel better mentally, getting out of the house is great, makes you feel as though you are on the mend.

Well done, Swimfeeders. It just shows that aiming for goals and bettering yourself can keep you active - and even wanting to beat your previous score.

Re: Post your daily exercise routine

Hello!
I finally got tired of my weight gain about a year ago and buckled down and lost 20#. Have about 10-15 to go ideally but not sure if I will get to 15...
I actually joined a local club and twice/week I take a
Body Pump class, and yes I am quite sure that I am one of, if not the oldest person in the class, but I don't care much.
I am only there for 30 minutes because I take it during my lunchtime but it is great!
I then do my own personal workout at home.
Diligence is the key! Even when I don't feel like it!

Re: Post your daily exercise routine

Well, I have had at least 6 months off running owing to a knee injury. Seems nature is still on my side with the knee showing much improvement as of late.

I've tried 2 jogs in the last week but blimey I suffered. First jog was only 3 miles but after the first I was really struggling - struggling to the extent I had to stop and walk a few times. When I eventually finished my chest and throat were quite sore. 2nd run I managed 5 miles but again I had to stop and start a fair bit. Today I intend to try to jog 5 miles again but I won't be disappointed if I don't show any improvement as I haven't stuck to my diet so I might well be carrying some extra weight.

It is like I have never run before. At least I have the experience to know I should improve quite quickly - I hope!
