Physical Excercise

I used to exercise everyday/everyother, but now the most exercise I get is getting out of bed

Life has become too busy! I just cancelled my YMCA membership tho ($40.00a month for something I didn't use was money wasted!) So now hopefully I'll get my butt outside & exercise when life slows down a little bit

I joined a gym finally last November. I had been doing home video workouts before that, but finally decided to do the gym thing.

I was good up until April. That's when I became really busy with school and couldn't go. Now I'm trying to get back the habit of going 3 days a week. I don't have to worry about the monthly bills either, I paid $300 up front for a 13 month membership.

Good for you though! That is the one thing I can't do: get up before I'm suppose to

During the slower season here, Oct-May I go to the gym 3 times a week. During the summer months because of my job I just don't have time..

I go to Curves which is a pretty good workout. It has a routine that takes 1/2hour to finish, very low impact, but works great for getting in shape. It was the only work-out that I ever found that I wasn't totally stiff the day after my first work-out.

Not sure the cost is the same everywhere but I know that membership here is $46 a month which is pretty good consider every other gym I researched were $50 or over.

[font= "Comic Sans MS"]Wow, I guess I'm kind of spoiled! I don't have to pay or be in a stinky old gym; I get to go out and watch the bunnies play and the sun rise! Talk about havin' a good life! I know what I'm doing doesn't really help you lose weight (my goal is to lose about 8 lbs and just get in shape) but it does help with your heart and I think the fresh air is good for you too. I don't like the idea of using all these excercise balls, new-fangled machines; they may work, but I just don't like them. I prefer jsut going out and running down the road! And just plain old push-ups and crunches... Sometimes I pick up an old lead rope and start jumping rope too! [/font]

I go to the gym 4-6 times a week. I do cardio a couple times, free weights a couple times and a class or two mainly yoga/pilates.

If you are going to run/walk/jog i think good shoes are important, not $200.00 shoes or anything. Your feet take the brunt of everything, if my feet hurt the last thing i want to think about is running etc.

I excercise alot trying to get my pregnancy weight gone. So far Im down to 130. But I was 115 before I had Ari. So Ive been excercising more then usual. Though I have always been really active.

JuJubee: These aren't bad shoes really, they have Dr. Scholls soles in them and are very comfy! And they were cheap too, so I don't think I have to worry about my feet hurting. I wouldn't want to be on my feet either if they were sore!

Fostermomm: You had a baby and you are maybe twice my age (I am 13) and you weigh as much as I do! I weigh 130 but I'm only 13! But I'm really tall too... 5'8. I'm not fat or anything, maybe a little chubby around the tummy area... So I would like to lose that...

I go biking for anywhere between 6-10 hours every day and go for an hour jog every second day and I go to the gym 5 days a week.

I don't have too much time I just have a pretty good schedule. I bike to work and then back home. That's about a half an hour one way. Right now I'm only working part time so usually only about 5 or 6 hours. When I get home I have some lunch then go out biking again for a few hours and if I am gonna work out that day I go to the gym about 2 hours or so before it closes and then if I'm gonna run on that day I go for a jog after I'm done at the gym. In the winter I find myself getting really bored. I can't really bike through 2 feet of snow so I don't have much to keep me busy.

I admit, im LAZY. I sit in this computer chair all day.
I HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE exersise, I could never auctually do sit-ups and push-ups and all that stupid boring stuff. Id rather ride my bike or walk or something. Im not an unhealthy person so I dont worry about my health too much, and im not overweight so I dont exersise lol.

[font= "Comic Sans MS"]TigerOnTheProwl: HOLY SNICKER DOODLE! You must be in shape now! Whooee... I don't have that kind of time. I clean house, help with the cooking and kitchen, there's Zoey and Tucker to think about, I have school (yes we do some during summer, I'm home-schooled), I help my dad on the ranch, and I try to get on here every day, and I'm an avid reader. I don't have the motivation to ride my bike that much, that pretty much bores me. But I do enjoy getting out in the mornings and evenings. [/font]

Wow sounds like you need a break. That's quite a lot of work. I only bike that much because I kinda got addicted to biking. It was one of the first things I learned to do and it just became a hobby.
