What do you ladies do to keep in shape?

[thelook]

Since I quit smoking, I have regained my ooompf, and have started doing things that I thought I would never do again.
Hatha's Yoga for one.
And
Riding a bike, yes one you peddle!
I must say, it is a lot harder than I remember it being as a kid, ond OMG the seats on these new bikes are soooo small...or maybe my .... is just a lot bigger.
So far I am loving it and am so happy that I can do it without coughing up a lung!
So what are you in to?

 

[stover.p]

aaaaaaahhhhhh................you're supposed to do something to stay in shape?? Since I'm a desk jocky and really have to say that I don't do much and the size of my .... shows it too! I have more energy since I kicked the habit but I use it working on our house. I keep saying I'm going to join the gym but I keep driving everytime I pass it.

I used to walk at least a mile a day..sometimes three. But since it got so hot (100 heat index) I can't without getting a heat stroke. That's not me teasing you..I helped at my charity spaghetti dinner and almost passed out. I looked like I had a bucket of water dropped on my head and I was beet red. The rest of the ladies were working too..they weren't sweating. See my hair in the picture? It was down and "done" before I put it up and sat in the ladies for a half hour to cool down.
I will be happy to see cool weather again! I have gained 20 lbs and need to work it off! Walking and streaching are the only two exercizes I can do without back problems. And yes I do have a treadmill/clothesrack. It's like a forced death march..I hate that thing!
yea..September!

MK-I have a treadmill, too. Problem is, it is upstairs-I hate stairs-LOL
Walk 2 miles (outside) 5 days a week.

I take the dog for a walk on the beach for around an hour a day, if I can swing it. While I don't have to lose weight, (I tip the scales at an impressive 98 pounds), things are starting to get 'wobbly'. Payton was kind enough to tell me the other day, "Mommy, when you go up the stairs, your bum is shaky looking'

Yup, she's lucky to still be drawing in air ladies.

Anyone tried those Reebok or Sketcher ....-Leg shaper runners? I'm considering grabbing a pair me thinks...

 

[HzG8rGrl]

I thought that was what heels were for-LOL

 

[Kate51]

I haven't gained any more for a couple years, but it is so hard getting about 20# off.
I just work in my shop (upholstery) and that's pretty physical, but I do need to look at an eliptical or something for winter time. I am actually turning down work now. THEN going to do a bunch of painting and redecorating, that will get me in shape!
Domino, my husband just got a pair of shape ups and loves them! I have some sandals that are great, but haven't run in them.
MK, are you moved yet, or still work in progress? Hope everyone is well.

I have 2 pair, I just keep forgetting that I have them

 

[Happy Domino38]

Great! Thanks ladies, consider them bought!!

 

[notsoogood]

Since I quit loading trucks and went to the desk job I've gained about 50 pounds. I've taken 31 off so far but still not exercising. I was walking a mile in the warehouse and haven't even been doing that lately. No self-disipline!

Ive been beautiful for 45yrs,Im gonna give someone else a turn.

 

[MrsJaaxx]

I jump rope. I'm really short so I can do it indoors, while watching TV, without hitting the ceiling.

I have not kept it up the last couple of months, though. And though I am very small, like Domino-- I am also sharing her experience of things not being so firm in the back. And now that I posted this, I am going to make myself jump rope tonight. Thanks ladies!

OT-- Kate, I grew up around an upholstery shop! My grandaddy ran one in his basement, and of course I was allowed to play with all the tools-- the button maker, the staple gun (puh-shhhh!), the staple puller, and I got to write in marker on the wood that was going to be covered up! Wonderful memories.

OHHHHH I forgot about jumping rope!!
Have not done that in years, that is great excersise, course I think I would need to invest in a good sports bra, so I don't knock myself out

Look, by a pair of padded bike shorts. They make the ride so much cushier.

 

[Mary Kay]

Mike and i looked at bikes, I want one when we move back to Tampa..sidewalks, all right! But when we went looking, I was shocked! My .... is not big..in fact it moved to the front..but still. Who do they make those seats for anyway? I asked a kid if they happened to have any padded tractor seats..even a nice bench seat? Mike suggested a nice 3 wheeler for me.

 

[thelook]

MaryKay, I ended up falling off my bike the other day and skinned my knee really bad, hubs said the bike was way to big for me and we ended up exchanging it for a smaller one, this one has a little bit bigger seat and I do mean little bit...lol
I may do what glowgirl suggested and buy a pair of padded bike shorts to wear under my other shorts.
I have to do something cuz owieeee it hurts!

 

[Mary Kay]

Strap the .... pad to your knees!
