Re: Do you exercise

The "Post your daily exercise" thread will give some good info about this. Everyone chips in to describe how their training is going and they're a good bunch.

I go to the gym three times a week and do weight-training and, recently, I have decided to get my creaky legs loosened up on an exercise bike there. I train pretty hard and usually aim to burn at least 800 calories per session, and I can check this because the machines are computerised and each member has a data key to slot into them to monitor calories and total weight lifted. I love it.

Re: Do you exercise

I swim 5 mornings a week between 40 n 50 lengths of the pool, depending on how I'm feeling and how busy it is. I also walk the dog every day, then there's the work with the Clydes and what ever Himself needs me to help out with. When I get time I have Agility Classes with the dog as well. I get more than enough exercise.

Re: Do you exercise

If you want I can post a video of how to walk a mile in your home.
I find this woman extremely irritating but my friend loves her and walks around 3 miles quite often in her living room!!

Edit: Roxy that's very impressive!
I used to swim regularly but even on a good day never managed more than 30-35 lengths.
The trouble is what with getting there and back and all the palaver it seems to take half the day for only about half an hour in the water!

Re: Do you exercise

Hi

Exercise is fun.

Making love expends 300 calories, so if you make love 10 times a day you can lose 1 lb a day.

That is a stone a fortnight.

Re: Do you exercise

I used to exercise a lot including spin classes up until recently as my arthritic knee has been playing up so I haven't been able to go to the gym. I used to swim a lot too but thats gone by the by lately as I've been so busy working 2 jobs and taking care of my Dad.

I walk the dog every day.

I never stop from morning till night so I think I do get enough exercise anyway.

I miss my swimming and need to get back into it.

Gutted about my knee, I enjoyed the gym

I know just how you feel, I was gutted when I had to give up my Linedancing. Bloody knees.
