I love that it is less stressful on my bad knees than walking. Also, a year ago I walked my first 5K race. By signing up for a periodic 5K race, it helps motivate me to get my daily walking in. I would love to jog an entire 5K, but I'm not even close. It's a goal of mine that I hope to achieve in the next year.Sallyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05179249845523378156noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3636184197568930724.post-55284979639415150762011-07-10T20:09:28.745-05:002011-07-10T20:09:28.745-05:00I just got a new bike as a graduation gift so I ha...I just got a new bike as a graduation gift so I have been doing a lot of cycling (I cycle to and from work as often as I can!). I am also a huge fan of the eliptical -- I like to read while I chug along. And when I can, I love to do yoga. The classes offered at the climbing gym that my boyfriend is a member at are amazing! I'm hoping that in the near future I can join and go to those more regularly.Jenniferhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05024986978579666451noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3636184197568930724.post-5092397237606658472011-07-08T11:57:16.929-05:002011-07-08T11:57:16.929-05:00Melissa 23 miles:) This fitness challenge is fun,...Melissa 23 miles:) This fitness challenge is fun, I even got my husband and the kids involved!!Melissa Zegleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12650359633539767901noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3636184197568930724.post-73877141416189112842011-07-08T10:40:20.041-05:002011-07-08T10:40:20.041-05:00Oh, drat.

Right now, I'm enjoying hiking, walking, running, zumba, Wii Fit, elliptical, recumbent bike, weight lifting, resistence bands, and kickboxing. :DAmandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07026099426503180472noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3636184197568930724.post-33862185511047236862011-07-05T12:14:56.484-05:002011-07-05T12:14:56.484-05:00Walk.

We do all the power poses that you would do in yoga, but the water helps you to hold the positions and maintain alignment without strain. You don't think you are doing too much, but when you get out and try it on dry land, you realize how much more flexible you are!Jennhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14596892702798575269noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3636184197568930724.post-43029135482287845282011-07-05T07:58:32.637-05:002011-07-05T07:58:32.637-05:00Well, this may sound kind of funny, but I really e...Well, this may sound kind of funny, but I really enjoy the weight lifting that I do. Funny for a 53-year-old woman? No, because after I'm through with it or even in the midst of it, I feel really good about myself and strong. I think one of the hardest things for women as they get older is all of a sudden realizing that they don't seem as strong as they used to be. Anyway, I try to spend about 20 or so minutes 3 times a week using some of the weight machines at our gym. My husband helped me with them and now I happily make my way from station to station, listening to tunes or podcasts or whatnot, and doing 2 sets of 15 on each machine. And each time will count for a mile! :-)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
