Keeping fit, staying strong

[Wonder]

You are going great Jess, you must really be feeling the benefits now and I'm sure it will help you a lot with the new more active lifestyle.

Robyn, every bit counts an if you can do some exercise while enjoying a show that's even better.

I'm sure Amy will be pleased to know how well you are going and be encouraging you to get in any extra movement you can.

I need to start back at doing some Yoga, my muscels were so inflexible this morning and I'm having troubles with quite a few sore spots.

It works, Have moved it in front of the TV on the deck..

[Wonder]

No stopping you now Robyn.

I'm hoping for a night walk with the dogs tonight. DH doens't like me walking in the dark so looks like he might have to make the effort and come with me!

Sounds good Wonder. DH and I go walking together when we can. Lovely to have his company, especially now I don't walk Harry Hound. 

[Wonder]

Didn't get the walk in unfortunately.

Never mind Wonder, they'll be another day.

Managed rebounding and back exercises today, and packed some boxes!
Tomorrow I am in the car all day.

[droverjess]

An hours walk, morning exercises and rebounder once.
Maybe swimming tomorrow if lucky.

Missed my walk yesterday,but will go today, makes me feel so much better

Well done DJ. I haven't really got my exercising mojo back this week unfortunately will just have to force myself to do it.

The weather is helping here but I am finding that persevering every day with my exercises and being more active has reenergised me.
What I do is based on the Canadian airforce regime.

You can find out about it here http://fit450.com/HTML/XBX_Intro.html

Note exercise 5 needs adapting to modern ( research/h and s) requirements. Raise knees and have feet flat on floor then do partial sit ups.

There are age appropriate suggestions and it does work. I am building up to my goal level 11, and do FEEL stronger and more Flexible. I do reccomend them, they are easy to remember and you can start with 3 of each. I have done them on and off all through my life, I just need to try do them always if I can.

The rebounder helps too. I just do 5 mins at a time as many times as I can, sometimes only once.

So today already done exercises and rebounder once. (Yesterday the same) Hope to swim later, now back to the filing!!!!

Good luck everyone, you can do it.

Edited to say swimming swopped for walk with DH today. Found some very steep steps that challenged the legs and lungs!

my trainer is working in front of the tv. (today)

[droverjess]

Well done Robyn, keep it up.

[rainbow]

Thanks for the exercise link, I will print out and I WILL use them 😄😄👍

[droverjess]

Go for it rainbow, it makes you stronger and fitter.
I use a good rebounder for the last part, and for extra cardiovascular work too.

Today usual am routine plus packed 5 boxes and 45 minute walk with hills.
Tired tonight as DH alarm went off at 5.30.

Just updating this thread.

Until a lurgy struck I'd been doing my exercises faithfully at least 5 or 6 times a week all through the move. I've had a 5 day lurgy break, but as the shocking streamer has subsided Almost as fast as it came on, I  will be back on them tomorrow.  I did a few today when I felt creaky in the kitchen.
However I am out with the puppy several times a day, I do lots of large scale gardening, varying the tasks if any become too much, or I get sore. There is always plenty to do. I have pruned barrow loads since arriving here.

I am so glad I persevered with trying to be physically strong as the transition from our dormant year in a wee village house to a farm and garden would have been a challenge! If I won the lottery I'd put a small covered pool in!

How are you all getting on?
