My exercise journal...posts welcomed and appreciated

maybe if it is out there for someone to see, then I will be more faithful. I have not been faithful to exercising at all

Glo, any exercise counts. Walking, gardening, etc. Start slow, small baby steps, and before you know it you will be running marathons. We are behind you and know you can do it!

You can do it Glo!!!! Just start off slowly and build your way up!

WHat I did today 4/25/03

went to the gym and had my orientation to the nautilus equpiment which took about 1.5 hours...but I did not do the number of reps and stuff, so about 20 minutes of exercise there..

Did the treadmill for about 10 minutes at 4.2 speed and at a 7% incline.

swam, treaded water, water jogged, in constant mothion in pool for 45 minutes (family free swim with my three girls

The orientation to the machines is the most boring- I can get 20 minutes sitbike and about 12 machines covered in 45 minutes- so if you ever don't think you have time- you can squeeze it in. It helps to pick 1 or two days a week as your Y fix. For me it's Monday nights and Thursday nights- just try making it part of a routine and it makes it easier. YOU CAN DO THIS!!! And exercise is a natural way to get my moods way up there! Unless of course you try too many pounds on your nautilus and are VERY sore the next day- do not recommend
You can stick to this and look at what a great example you're showing your daughters- if any are old enough you might recruit one of them to be your nautilus partner!
You're doing GREAT!!!

Go Glo Go Glo Go Glo!!

well for saying you're not doing well on the exercise component, your workout of 4/25 begs to differ!

7% at 4.2 is a pace worthy of admiration!

I try to take advantage of free swim time too. Do you ever use a noodle to do crunches in the water? You can also tie it in a loose knot and do arm exercises (triceps, biceps, lats, etc) Another fav of mine is to do scissors with the noodle too.

swimming is hard work! i can't quite get that breathing thing!

I never thought of doing crunches in the water...what an idea...how do you do that? We are about to leave for family swim again...it is pouring here, and I expect it is going to be very crowded...
