We haven't checked in with a physical fitness post in a while, so I thought I'd start one.  How'd you get yourself moving this week?

I took a couple of walks with DD and walked with her while she rode her bike.  I also took seven ballet classes over the past two weeks (counting one private lesson), which was awesome!!  yippee  Wish I could keep up that kind of schedule all year!

Being a new homeowner, getting the house together has kept me pretty active this week!

I'm going to do some strength training at lunch today, and this weekend I got a couple of small walks in.  Every bit helps!

Not nearly enough! Spring has finally arrived, but my stupid allergies have been making me very lazy.

We did take the dog for a walk around the neighborhood after dinner a few times though.

I've been to one class this week and will go again tomorrow night.  Not much else aside from that though.

My DH bought me Dance Dance Revolution, and he, my step-son, and I played it for about an hour last night.  It's a good workout and it's fun!  yippee

I haven't really exercised this week yet. :-(

It's been a bad week for it (with after-hours meetings, a concert, etc), but I could always come up with excuses. I need to get more motivated.

That's one of the reasons I joined this site! :-) I'm doing pretty well with my eating habits, but I HATE working out. I'll get started for a while and then let it slide again. I need to stay focused, no matter how much I dislike it.

I read an article on Prevention that sums it up for me: I don't need to "love" working out, but I need to fall in "like" with it, enough to keep doing it.

Any suggestions?

I find that I feel better when I'm getting regular exercise (and regular sleep, nutrition, etc...) and that when I fall off the exercising wagon how I feel starts declining.  Vicious cycle!  I track my activity with a pedometer, and there is definitely a connection between my more sedentary days and the tension I feel in my neck, shoulders and back.

This week I went to ballet on Monday and will go again tonight. I can't go Friday due to another commitment, unfortunately.

That is so funny! We got the boys an X-Box for Christmas, so other family members bought them gift certificates for the game store. We were there, picking out games, and I tried persuade them to get that, stating it would be great, fun, exercise! Unfortunately, they all laughed at me. DS played it in school music class, and said I would wind up tripping face first in to the tv trying to keep up with it. Shows how athletic he thinks his mother is! dry

reviving an old thread...

I took two classes last week.  This week I can't take any, and I'll have to miss class next M and W as well!  Bummer!  I have a stretching video on the way from amazon that I'm eager to try out.  It's finding the time to do it that will be the issue, lol!

I am so out of it when it comes to exercise.   sad  I'm embarrassed to say that, but I guess it's just an opportunity for improvement, right?   hammer
