Any One Up For an Exercise Challenge?



Recommended Posts

I am dying here!!! You guys crack me up!!!

Leatha- so glad you were able to get to Curves with the rain and all. Now, that is commitment. I always feel great when I am there. It's a blast. I am trying to make myself go at least 5 times a week.

OOPS, I need to moderate my own post! I was only talking about flabby upper arms and what type of exercise will tone them! I promise, no sexual innuendos! And the only rocks I have are in my head!

I go to bed early and y'all have a party! I just can't win! lol

Laurie - I have lost 20 pounds, but will probably gain a little back when I get put on more food, hopefully TODAY! Thanks for asking.

I think I need some movies of all this stuff y'all are talking about!

Betty, Would that count as exercise? You know watching those kind of movies. If so that MIGHT be something I can do! :laugh

Well, now that you mention it, I have heard if you imagine doing the exercises your brain thinks you did and you gain the benefits! Now, I bet we could all come up with some good images of that! Yup, I think a GOOD movie might just do the trick! :)

Hello everyone,

Yesterday I ran 3 laps in the gym with the kids. I did snake drills which dealt with running. We also did line drills which we ran from one end of the gym to the next. I did 20 situps, 10 juming jacks, alot of different types of stretches and some pilates.

Cut it out, Selecia, you're making me tired! What are snake drills? They sound like something the Crocodile Hunter keeps in the shed.

Marie, if I can stop laughing long enough to find a photo of that triceps exercise somewhere, I'll try to post it . . .

I missed exercising yesterday because we were canning tuna. :guess It seems I always have an excuse. :) But tightening all those jar lids should help with the bat wings under my arms.

I bought bat wings for my halloween costume -- really -- I should have just used the ones I have. :laugh I actually am looking forward to dressing up -- showing off I guess, which is so NOT like me. I am the stereotypical shrinking violet in a crowd, trying to find a job to do so no one will give me undue attention. That is certainly changing!

I did a double lap around the park during yesterday morning's walk. This challenge requires me to exercise Monday, Wednesday and Friday. So far, so good. I don't worry about weekends since I'm so active cleaning & riding my motorcycle... as long as I keep moving.

Wow, Becky, 69 pounds! That is amazing! Canning is a lot of work and definitely counts as exercise! I'm with you on that "shrinking violet" thing. (Take a zero, instead of giving an oral report.) But this forum is bringing me out of it. Kind of scary, isn't it?

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
