Calling all our May Bandsters! I know there are threads like this on the main page but I thought this would be good for those of us in May!

Have you started exercising yet? I know a lot of you are still recovering from late May surgery but I thought this would be a fun way for us to compare good ways to get out and work off more calories/fat!

Let's give suggetions of what to do...

What works for you...:rolleyes2:

Any pain?:biggrin:

What songs are on your iPod to keep you going!:biggrin2:

Can't wait to hear everyone's ideas!

I am starting Water aerobics on Monday!!!!!!!!!!!!

I am on vacation and have begun using a treadmill for 30 minute periods. It's not my first choice of exercise but it does work up a sweat!

I don't know if we have talked about it in this thread or not, but I just purchased a Wii Fit and I LOVE it. It weighs you, measures your BMI, lets you set goals, plus gives you fun games that let have you building up a sweat and getting your heart pounding in no time. I find I can do 30 minutes on the Wii in no time. Plus, it is a lot of fun to sit back and watch others play, especially the Hula Hoop.

We had very heavy rains last month and assisted to my pool's pH and alkalinity to go up, then algea big time. It's been out of commission as i try to remedy it back to help save $$ right now (DH is in school FT, not working). SO i've replaced my swimming with 30mins treadmill followed by 15mins strength training for arms, abs, thighs, and rump. 5days a week, 6 is a blessing! I walk thru neighborhhod once or twice a week to break it up. I do miss the pool. My back flab is not tightening up as good as it was so hopefully I can get back to it soon. A friend of mine showed me some exercise ball ideas that are really making a diff in my thighs, even my DH is noticing!

Of good note, when I tried my treadmills preset #1 workout, I couldn't do it. Now I can!!!

This week has been sloooow on the exercise front. I try to walk at least a mile a day... but I know that's not enough. I hit the gym each day last weekend (Friday through Sunday, inclusive), and then again on Tuesday night. Since then, nada. Monday was a planned day off. Wednesday and Thursday were not.

Tonight I am going to try and go before dinner with my family, but I am not too hopeful about my timing. So, Saturday and Sunday will be making up for it. =)

Dragged my ass out to the gym at 9pm, and so glad I did. I put in 40 mins of cardio and then came home and did some stretching and strength on the ball.

This morning I dressed in my gym clothes to force me out today and get it done before I do anything else. I haven't left yet, but I started on the ball this morning and plan to hit the gym after Phelps swims this afternoon.

Exercising can really help with your overall attitude. I am still on vacation & trying to be as active as possible. Heading to the treadmill now for 30 minutes of fast walking!
