Keeping fit, staying strong

I'll have one, Robyn! I love massages! 
Miss3 rubbed my back for me this morning, and while I wouldn't call it a massage, it really was nice! 

[obbie]

I'm teaching my DD to massage me....

[Amy :-)]

You two are training your kids well

[Cornish Cream]

Still walking the dog regularly.

I've walked two mornings this week. Mind you I did stop and chat to an old neighbour this morning on my walk, and had to walk double pace to get back home in time for work!

[Kimmyh]

Walked to kinder once this week.  Looked a bit funny pushing DS's bike with him nowhere to been seen. But he appreciated riding it home. His little legs are always too tired to walk.  Netball tonight and we have made the finals woohoo!

[judydawn]

Good luck Kimmy, how did you go?

[droverjess]

Does cooking all day count?
No time for walking today except round and round the kitchen and to and for the freezers in the garage.

[Amy :-)]

If you're cooking standing up DJ, then yes

Netball tonight and we have made the finals woohoo!

Can't wait to hear how you went Kimmy!

[Wonder]

Got my new program at the gym this morning, my PT has mad ethe most of me getting an excellent rating in my tests last week and has built a program that will really push me. Hopefully I don't find it too boring - I really don't enjoy exercising   Will go to the gym again early tomorrow morning to make sure I remember the new program and then walk with a friend on Sunday.

Well done ES, CC and Kimmy on the walking and I hope you blitzed the final kimmy.

DJ, I'm sure you can count the walking to and from the freezers, it all adds up.

[Amy :-)]

That was good of your PT Wonder. For a person who doesn't like exercise, there is nothing worse than a boring program
Even is it takes a couple of sessions to get used to the new program, I really hope you enjoy it

[Wonder]

I'm not so sure it was good of him Amy  , now that it's all monitored on the system with my special key it will track everything I do which should make me push myself a little harder and we are hoping will help me get some motivation back. I've never really enjoyed exercising and only do it because I know I need to  and I'm finding it very hard at the moment trying to it everything in working such long hours but I'm determined to get some of the motivation back and changed my body shape a little more.

[Amy :-)]

Oh... well we can only keep our fingers crossed
Do you have any strategies for motivating yourself to do other things? Maybe if you do, you could apply the same principle to exercise...?

Motivation is definitely the most tricky part of exercise

[Wonder]

Amy, I'm a bit of "if it needs doing just get on and do it" sort of person so don't tend to use motivational strategies much.  I'll keep up with the gym for that reason but it would be good if I could really actually enjoy it. I've tried pretty much every exercise out there and have never found anything I really enjoy.

Paying the extra for the PT keeps me going everyweek, and because he also works at the gym and trains there in his personal time he is always around, and I feel bad that he might see me being a bit slack so it motivates me to at least keep up a certain level. 

[Amy :-)]

Hm... that does make it even more tricky. So you don't like swimming either? I like swimming when I don't want to get hot and sticky from sweat
I use a lot of motivational things because I need that positive kick up the pants to get me moving

Is he cute too? That would be another reason to be motivated
