It's hard to find time to exercise in our busy days, but it's still very important! Whether you exercise regularly or not, what's your favorite thing to do to get your heart pumping?
Cardio at the gym on a machine (15.3%)
Stretching and toning like yoga & pilates (16.9%)
Hiking, biking, or an activity outside (32.5%)
Lifting weights (4.0%)
I like it all (16.7%)
I don't exercise (14.5%)
exercise is good for the soul
You need to use weight to firm and tone your muscles. You cannot rely on cardio workouts alone.
Regular exercise is good for your health and happiness!
Exercise is my way of letting go of stress that has built up during the day.
I love to do activities that are exercising, but you have fun and you don't feel like you are exercising.
I know I need to exercise but I am just not motivated at all!!
I go to Jazzercise! I started about 5 years ago and I have been hooked ever since! The value cannot be beat and the friendships that you develop make it the the most fun & best workout going. I love it and go to 5 to seven workouts a week!
I took up figure skating as an adult. 10 years ago at age 43 I took my first Learn-to-Skate lesson at our local rink, and I've been hooked ever since. I'll never be able to do what our club's 14-year olds can do, but I have tested with judges, competed in my state's State Games (yes, I even won a silver medal!) and I am currently learning (and just about have) my first full-rotation jump ? a salchow. I'll let you all know when I finally land it! Learn-to-Skate isn't just for the kids, ladies. It's fabulous exercise, and it's a great stress reliever, too. Each time I go to the rink I call it my "it's-cheaper-than-therapy" session. And no, you don't have weak ankles. You have had poorly-fitted boots!!
Stretching and toning regularly can make you feel like a new woman/man =)
A long time ago I was a fitness instructor-now the most exercise I get is walking to the mailbox. So Sad. So Sad.
