We've had a lot of rain recently and now the humidity is almost unbearable. I had one of those very fatigued days but I was determined to wait until it cooled down in the late pm and ride my bike. I'm always glad afterwards that I make myself get going. Some days I'm not as successful but overall I am getting a handle on getting enough exercise during the week to stay fit. Getting to bed earlier tonight and tomorrow will do my run and weight training.
I tell you, heat and humidity can drain you and hurt you if not careful. So all through the day I try and drink plenty of water if I'm going to be outside after work.

Sorry about the high humidity Walker. I grew up in Michigan but have lived in Colorado for almost 20 years now but I still remember what high humidity was like. It is difficult to just function let alone exercise. The good thing about Summer for me is it forces me to get up early to exercise before the heat starts. I already have a 2 mile walk in this morning! Woohoo!

Didn't get much exercise this weekend (it was a long weekend here, so three days = no exercise). I have an exam Friday and I'm just "hanging on" until then.
Wish I could think of some way to review music history notes while exercising!

Not a bad idea for next time. My exam's on Friday though, so until then I'm missing a couple of workouts. Still going today and tomorrow at lunch though.

I was planning on getting up early this morning for a two mile walk but that didn't happen. The client I was working for today lives in a senior high rise. She is on the third floor and laundry is on the second floor. I usually take the elevator but today I did the stairs. It was probably ten flights if you add up all the times I went from the first to the third to the second to the third etc.

Yesterday I did 10 minutes picking green beans before I had to quit due to being out of breath because of my cold.

I just joined the Isabody Challenge. It began a couple of weeks ago and goes for a year. I had been an avid walker for years, but things got busy several months ago and I haven't gotten back in to it. I really want to. Before I started working, I walked and stretched daily and had become very toned. I haven't gained any weight back, but I just don't feel as toned.
So my goal for this year is to get back to taking a walk at least 4 times a week. I have also been working on some target spots to be leaner. I've done it before so I know I can do it again except for my arms. I'd like them to be sleeveless-worthy. I'm almost 47 so I'm noticing more and more loss of muscle tone (as well as skin tone) in my arms. I have been working with free weights, doing push-ups and dips for the past month. Any other suggestions?

at least you have tickets.. my gym overcrowds each class. Very irritating.
Will join another one but haven't found one that is a decent replacement.. because other than that.. it was top of the line but now they are trying to save some money.. but the competition is supposed to be moving in so we'll see.

It has been so hot that I have switched from hiking. The last one was 13 miles in Crystal Cove State Park--between Laguna and Newport Beach. Gym classes such as Turbo Kick Boxing and Strength Endurance Training (weights) really pump me up emotionally--I love it!

I am still suprised at the amount of mental effort it takes for me to run. I'm psyching myself up before, at the beginning, and all during my 30 minute run. I am always glad that I did it and I always feel great afterwards but it is such an ordeal. I actually enjoy biking more but it take longer to get the same workout as running gives.
Going by the treadmill stats, I'm running 2.85 miles in 30 minutes. I am going to push for a 3 mile 30 minute run next time. I think this may be the problem. I need to push myself more. I've been running the same speed for several months.
As for strength training, I definitely see the toning in my arms and chest but I've still got a belly. I think I better get some coaching.

Why do you need to push yourself more?
I guess I just dont see whats wrong with maintaining something. Especially when I see the under arms of a 4 10" woman who used to bench press 90 pounds. She is now 77 years old and all that muscle went under her arms now, as she so aptley pointed out.
Is it true that if you get alot of muscle, then dont keep up with it, it droops?

Woo-hoo! I ran 3 miles on the treadmill under 32 minutes. I think I understand what Walker311 may mean by pushing yourself. Running is rather monotonous and very much a mental game that you play with you yourself. I am not sure if there has ever been a time I did not have to talk myself out of quitting. Setting goals and pushing yourself adds the thrill of the challenge. It keeps it interesting. I am working on dropping to under a 30 minutes 3 mile run and very soon, sooner that I want, I will go for 5 miles. I need that challenge in my workout. After I achieve those goals I will set new ones.

I started back exercising thursday on my Total Gym, but I just worked out my upper body and abs. I guess I need to go slow at first. Tonight I walked approximately 1 mile. O.K. for a start. I reckon. Hopefully, I will continue to work at this.

I have a goal to lose 45 more lbs by January of 2010. 
Who has time to get to the gym 20 minutes early? Clearly not people on their lunchbreak. Still, I got in a short run and a round of weights.
