How do you Keep fit?

[Cheb]

Hi Twenty

Sorry to hear about you neck, how awful for you having been so active and into the gym; I bet you didn't know how to fill your time up afterwards.

Well done on keeping your motivation up and being dedicated enough to get on your cross trainer at home. I can't keep it up by myself, I need a mate to come round and drag me off to a class!

Ah that must be it then Cheb I am very antisocial lol.

 

[Cheb]

LOL, I'm sure that you're not anti social at all!

Just noticed that you're in Nottingham, I was in Nottinghamshire last weekend......camping!!!! Did you notice how windy and rainy it was? Especially on Saturday Though we were going to lose the tent!

 

[c2b]

Oh yes I did notice. Several trees came down in the woods where I ride. A bit scary.
Whereabouts in Notts were you? I love camping.

Just found the website cos I'm so dizzy I couldn't remember where we went exactly!

We went to a meet up, named Wadfest, a bunch of people who read Terry Pratchett books. I'm not actually into them but DH is and all the fellow Pratchett fans are a lovely bunch, if a bit mad!!!

We had a great weekend despite the weather forcing us to spend a lot of time holding the tent down and some of the obscure events being cancelled......whoever heard of a 'Dry Boat Race' in the rain? Don't know what it is but it was cancelled!!!! Have to wait til next year to find out.

I go to the gym 3 x a week and have done since I was about 16 stone. ( I am now 11.11)
I keep having my programme reviewed, now it is 10 mons X trainder, 1000metres rowing machine, 15 mins cross country treadmill, 15 mins resistance programme on bike. Then I do 9 different things with weights.
When I have been this weight before, I have still looked "fat", but this time I don't, and I can only put it down to going to the gym. I should weigh 1 and a half stone at least, less than I do, but everyone (including CDC) says not to lose this much.
It DOES make a difference to your shape, and I feel so much fitter. I am also learning Tai Chi, but am still rubbish at remembering the moves!!!

I go to the gym 3 or 4 times a week. Do resistance, xtrainer, treadmill and bikes.

Did have a go at body balance which was great, but I have no sense of balance

I've always exercised though. I was a judo enthusiast long ago and competed in the British Championships Did the judo and self defence instructing for a while, but an injury forced me to stop. Couldn't help but keep up the exercise though.

Joined the gym again when I started WLR. It certainly motivates you to exercise!

Hi Cheb
I filled my time with eating chocolate etc to make myself feel better. I also could'nt be so active in just daily activities etc.
The one good thing (if you can call it that) is that i did not put the 7 stone i had lost before handhand with WW.(i regained 3 stone in 3 years)

(i seemed to forget you can't eat the same amount and not exercise!)

That's exactly how I put my weight on

Now it's mostly off again I won't make the same mistake twice

All these mad exercisers! I went to the gym today and did 80 mins cardio and 20 min weights. I know its working when I can feel my jelly belly wobbling because it MUST be wobbling off!!!! LOL!! What do you call that bit below your belly button ( the apron of fat) it must have a technical name? It is my problem area and it will be a real achievement to shift it. My midriff is more toned but def stomach is my lard zone!

Blame the kids i have it to, no matter how much i exercise it won't go away.

I run around after DD all day. We take her & the dog for long walks (with a picnic in the middle). We go riding on our bikes (DD on OH's as I am a bit unstable!). I used to go running (a kind of wobbly jog) but since being pregnant I have had to stop as my boobs hurt with every bump!!!

I go swimming 6 times a week and swim non stop for 30 mins and i go to the gym at least 5 times a week. At the gym i normally do 15 mins on the cross trainer and then 45 - 60 mins on the treadmill in fat burner mode.

I really enjoy doing the exercise and im hooked

 

[HorseyCarrie]

I do have a personal trainer that I did 12 weeks with til mid-august when we both had hols, and I have always played netball and gone swimming and gymming. But now, quite simply, I have three equines to run round after!

 

[Purple Hugs]

I ride at least once a week - would love time and the opportunity to ride more but it doesn't happen.

Want to start swimming with my DD again, so that's my short term aim.

Used to go running but that's stopped since my running partner got pregnant! She's due in november.. so we're planning on re-kindling our running in the spring. She wants to do the race for life again. I talked her into doing the 2005 one with me.

So.. that's my plans

Just wanted post about my new found addiction to the crosstrainer. I have built myself up to 1 hour on the preprogrammed interval training session that goes from resistance 3 to 10 in timed intervals. I love it and am hooked! I will need to continue to increase the resisitance as I get fitter but at the moment it is challenging enough for me! I can't believe I am posting this stuff as I truanted every PE lesson from the age of 12 to 16......
