I thought I would start a thread that might help keep us accountable for exercising. Post on here what you did today for exercise. Come back daily and use this thread as an exercise log.

Walked for 45 minutes today:(

Played basketball in a staff vrs. Students game. Lots of fun and lots of sweat! Lawd, its hard keeping up with middle schoolers!

Walked 45 minutes again...having chronic pain is keeping me from working out as hard as I'd like...but I'm glad I'm where I'm at...a year ago I was in so much pain I couldn't move.

Did the 4th day of c5k

Walking/running for 30 minutes going to the gym tonight

Sent from my iPad using RNYTalk

So frustrated...had a nerve block yesterday in my hip and could walk about a mile today. I need to be gentle with myself and realize I can do what I can do each day. Oh well. Progress not perfection.

Today I walked to the store and backs. I just got the approval to exercise again after months of not being able to exercise, because of injuries. So I thought I would start slow and work me back to an hour and a half to an hour and forty five minutes. I'm preop, and never liked to exercise and its a new coping skill that I've added on to my list

I'm post op 10 days and able to walk about 2 miles but that is all I can do. How long does it usually take to be able to get back to normal. Before surgery I could jog/walk 4 miles.

60 min on the elliptical

60 min on the elliptical

I love the elliptical, I also do it for 60 minutes, and people who I know that exercise and are in shape don't see how could do an hour and that they can't even do it for an hour. I've finally got the all clear to go back to exercising which has been for almost 4 months or so I would get hurt, and the first injury it wouldn't heal and they thought I needed surgery, finally got that healed then my bulging disc acted up went back to pt, then I severely sprained ankle, and just today I had my last pt appointment knock on wood (knock knock)

An hour?! My hubby is a body builder and he can't do more than 30 mins on the elyptical machine. :-)

2799 calories burned with three zumda classes and the elliptical.

I bought a commercial machine and I do the fat burner one for 30 minutes and then repeat. (for some reason that program will only let you do 30 minutes max. I don't know why so you have to do it twice) Tonight was my first night to get back up to 60 minutes since surgery. I've been at 30 and 45 forever! I had an ACL reconstruction in 05 and this is the only high cardio I can do comfortably.

I walked to and from work today 10 miles round trip up and down hills.

I know what you mean, I dont have chronic pain...but a year ago I would have NEVER thought I'd love the gym and would NEVER have thought I would exercise for 45 minutes....now moving to an hour without having a heart attack!!

Congrats!! Keep going!
