Title: How do YOU stay in shape?
Post by: lher0277 on April 02, 2010, 06:51:02 pm
 I know walking, running, and weights are good but does any one have something they love to do to help with certain areas?

dance, absolutely...I dance with a dance company.  I also walk when I can, at least three miles at a stretch.

I eat 5 small meals plus one portioned meal everyday.  I need to maintain my caloric intake at 2200. I have two small meals at around 500 calories each, three snacks consisting of crunchy fruits or vegetables, and one main meal where I indulge myself.  I also drink plenty of water and walk 20 minutes a day.  I'm working on moving that up to 30 minutes.    :wave:

diet and exercise is the essential part for keeping a good shape. Staying away from sugar is the most important and if you are hungrey for sweets eat fruit instead.

I walk 5 days a week for more than an hour to get in more than 10,000 steps per day which equals to 5 miles a day.  I try to watch what I eat, reduce portion size, eat more vegies and fruit. I also work out with free weights 3-4 days a week.

My favorite form of exercise is walking, but I like to shake it up with dancing, and exercise video or two and the funnest of all: playing with my grown children :D

I have created my own 8 minute workout, and follow it 3 to 5 days every week as soon as I get up. 
Push ups, sit ups, leg lifts, 5-lb flys, and squats.  24 each at a brisk pace, with stretching between each exercise.  It is super simple, but gets the blood pumping in the morning, and keeps everything limbered up. 
I am sure it sounds goofy, but I just turned 50, and I am in better shape than I have been in at least the past 10 years!  Try it for 4 weeks, and it's an easy positive habit.

WII  .... I know it sounds like a kids game but I am 52 and it is a lot of fun and good exercise.  I have the cardio boxing and a few of the other workout games and they do help.  I have 2 herniated discs in my lower back so I have to be very careful about what I do, so far this is the best I have found.  GOOD LUCK!!!
