It was 72 degrees today I think and all I did today was pick up all the leaves and trash outside. Not the best thing to do on such a good day, but at least my yard is clean.

Most of my exercise comes from running with my kids playing basketball, soccer, football. I work too much to exercise reguraly for myself.

I also walk a lot when the weather conditions are nice, when they are not I am usually going up and down the stairs doing laundry since the washer and dryer are in the basement, but I also do a lot of different stretches since I seem to spend a lot of time sitting while I am doing my school work, but I have heard that even household chores, such as vacuuming carpets or sweeping floors does have a few exercise benefits! :thumbsup:

I walk whenever I get that chance, though that's not often.  I used to lift weights when I had the time - still want to get back into that at some point.

I read.

If you have ebooks, or read online (fanfiction...etc.), you can exercise while reading.  I set up my ebooks and just start walking in place, adding in kicks, side steps, knee lifts, squats, etc.  Sometimes I get my Wii board out and use it as a mini-stepper while reading.

Even better if you have audiobooks, because then you can take them outside with you, provided you have the ability to play them.

I try to walk as much as I can, and taking the stairs, without aggravating my hip injury. :)  I also used to use my little 3lb weight during downtimes on the computer or watching tv, I should definitely start that up again.

Cardio and weights. I've just started running again! I'm super pumped! I've also learned some new exercises with weights from a class I took last semester so that'll do me a world of good too :D

Cardio & weight training.
Title: Re: what do you do for excerise
Post by: kapeh12 on February 23, 2011, 06:54:36 pm
I do strength training and cardio.  Some is for general health, most is for figure skating training.  I skate about 5 hours a week (Michelle Kwan, I am not...).  Sometimes I practice old dance routines (little hip hop, mostly ballroom - especially the latin routines).  Would love to get back into dancing - but I'm trying to stay focused on skating for now.

In the summer, I like to go hiking or boulder scrambling/rock climbing in nearby county and state parks.

Walking is really good. I truly enjoy it and like to walk at WalMart in the winter also. My WalMart is almost never busy and my daughter loves it so it's a plus.

I used to go to they gym.  But with the health issues that I have a cant do that anymore and with the cost of the gym I had to stop.  One of the things I do now is walk at home.  I try to make sure that I am doing a little exerise everyday.

I parked the longest distance that I can as I walk to work.  I use the steps in my house daily.  I play basketball with my daughter.  I march around our campus complex at work during lunch twice a week. In other words, I try to keep myself in motion as much as possible.

according to the website livestrong. at a slow pace you can burn 171 calories an hour just crocheting. the site has some really great tips on other forms of exercise. once it gets warm again I will be back outside walking.

Anyone heard of Brazil Butt Lift???

I recently caught it on TV and I ended up rewinding and recording it.  Later that day, I took the recording and taught myself some of the moves they showed and I tried them. I can feel my butt working, literally. It feels great and definitely works. Once I am done moving, I am buying it. :)

Anyone else heard of it, has it and tried it, anything?
