Regular training (gym, fitness dvd, biking or running) (26.0%)
Taking a class (spin, aerobics, pilates) (6.0%)
Who has time for fitness (I chase the kids & clean the house) (26.0%)
Walking by myself, with friends or the dog (41.8%)
I usually workout at home with aerobics videos or pilates/yoga.
I have been working out for the past four months. I walk for 30 minutes each day and 3 days a week do an additional 30 minutes of weights (using DVD Biggest Loser). Was diagnosed with diabetes and have to take 2 pills a day. Sugar is now all in normal range and may be able to reduce meds to 1 per day!
After years without formal exercise, I've signed up with a personal trainer at a gym. He works me like a dog!
In my younger days, I saw results within a few weeks of regular exercising. Now, not so much.
While I know it's healthier to exercise than not, it's still a bit discouraging not to see any change in my body...
I take a walk every day weather permitting, and definatly feel it if I skip it. Plus my dog sulks, but that's a whole other issue. Exercise is great, if you find what works for you. I would never be happy working myself to death at a gym.
I take a walk with the kids and dog every nite...
As I have very limited mobility, my main source of exercise (besides indoor stretching) is walking my chow chow Shadow twice a day. Luckily, my house is located on a nature trail, so I can easily enjoy the outdoor and get exercise at the same time!
i walk with my dog twice a day then once at night my kids and i take the dog for his last walk
I'm 37 years old and it depresses me to know that I'm going to have to workout on a regular basis for the rest of my life. Don't get me wrong, I love to work out, but when I take off one week I feel the effects and realize I have to get back on the wagon! I just want to be lazy every now and then!!
I need to work out so badly . My Dr put me on some medicine that packed on 40 pounds in 3 months. I am always tired now that I'm overweight and I barely can keep up with my 4 kids and house work. If anyone has any suggestions how to get back on track . drop a note under here for me =)
I try to exercise 4-5 times/week. It is like having a job to me..It's a time-committment that I force myself to do, but I definitely feel better afterwards! I have developed more stanima than I had years ago from it and more muscle tone. I know the cardio I do has wonderful benefits for my heart as well. I do believe that if you want to see a difference in your body though, it's all about diet - eating the right things (healthy stuff) primarily and then add in the exercise to tone your body.
