I'm trying to tweak a ricotta-almond flour pancake recipe. I could have sworn I saw one online that was mostly ricotta and egg with a smidge of almond flour, but now I can't find it.

What kind of work outs are you all doing?

Trying to get some ideas - I've never been into exercising...

I love, love, love to hike! I don't mean mountains...just local state parks. I like being outdoors. I like going by myself. Get lots of thinking done...if you go long enough, you stop thinking about anything stressful and just focus on finishing! I like doing the longer hikes (usually take me 2 hours to finish) and usually in a loop. That way, you have to finish! You can't just stop. For weights, I actually enjoy going to the gym. I really don't like doing treadmills or other cardio indoors.

Honestly, I haven't been doing much. I was walking when the weather allowed, and this month I started the 30 day Arm & Thigh Challenge. Wednesday I start at a gym with a personal trainer, so we will see what she has me doing!

I so 2 days a week with a trainer, three days a week of 1 hour of cardio, and 2 days of power walking on days I do the other stuff. I take Saturday and sunday off.

I'm back in the pool three days a week and in the weight room three days a week.

I go to the gym three days a week. Cardio (either elliptical, swimming or treadmill) for about 30 mins. then weight machines circuit. I have only been back for a couple of weeks.

[xmarycontraryx 234]

I'm at the gym 5x a week. 5 days 30 minutes on the elliptical, 3x includes weight training.

What's a 30 day Arm & Thigh Challenge?

[Carol Quabeck Boyer 63]

If you Google Arm Challenge, it will pop up! Sorry, I couldn't get it to post here!

I wasn't allowed to do much but walk for the first six wks and just started back today. My aerobic fitness is shot and I don't have much muscle strength. I'm not sure if this is the diet or the break from excercise.

I tried the elliptical (which I used to do before), and my heart rate shot up to 155 immediately (for fat burning I'm supposed to keep it at 130 - 145). The bicycle (which used to not be a challenge) was better.

Also, I tried some hand weights, but couldn't lift them as many times as before (10 vs. 20 before).

I guess I just need to keep at it.
