What Exercise Did You Do Today

[FMCA]

I have not been great with exercise for a long time and most weeks I aversge about 2500 steps. Totally inconsistent

My short term goal is to get it up to at least 5000 a day and eventually 7000

I cycled to and from work.

I walked for the couple hours a day for nearly a week.

Completely drained whatever's left it seems...

I did a 2 1/2 hr bicycle ride this morning. I have been struggling with a medication reaction that caused breathing problems. Today was the first day I felt like I could breathe. The weather was perfect and the ride was wonderful. Afterwards I took my dirt bike out in the desert and rode for 3 hours. A great day.

Cycling.

Today I did no exercise I think. I went out for a walk but when I was just half around the block I decided to come back home because I had nothing to do walking anywhere, came back home and signed up on this forum :3

I actually did 7000 steps today so im really pleased, just got to make it a daily habit now. Im going to have to find reasons to go out not just walk with no purpose because it wont work for me.

Zip. Zero. Nada. Zilch. Again.

Sat around and panicked, then managed to get my butt of the couch. Went for a seven mile walk and somehow still feel anxious. But at least I did something healthy for my body.

30 minutes in the exercise room, split between the bike and the elliptical. Plus, some of my PT exercises. Could do better on those, but I'm reacting to meds and my balance is way off and I'm exhausted. Cheese with the "whine" please. :)

I'm keeping a record in my calendar now! :) 30 minutes - bike, treadmill, elliptical! Heart rate is up around 105-110. I'm shooting for 134, per the cardiologist, but this will take some time for this OG-VB. ;0

I walk my old dog everyday. It's a lazy walk. We stop a lot.

I gained weight on meds and now my body hurts and is so large that I have lost confidence. And, it makes me tired. I wake three times a night with nighmares. So, I sleep in. I need to change that, but can't keep my eyes open.

I was doing yoga / yogalaties for 1 hour, then jogging for 20 minutes (more about increasing my laps). And, I use to love swimming. And, I wanted to add tai chi. Now, all I can manage is just the lazy dog walk.

Doctor says I need to loose weight and I explain that then they need to take me off meds - which is never going to happen.

How do you all manage to do it? What gets you motivated? I so want to get moving again. I liked my gentle yoga everymorning to the local radio.
