Back after a weeks holiday where I did a lot of eating. The only exercise I got was walking to restaurants & playing with my grandson. Great fun but my clothes feel tight.
I have to start laying on a baseball because I have somehow developed sciatica. Other than that, I'm trying to keep on walking (except when the weather is nasty). I'm also starting therapy this week to learn how to manage my stress and anxiety. Wish me luck!
Was late with my runs last week, got my 15 mi in last night. Surprisingly I'm not as beat as I have been on previous long runs...but I'll gladly take that. My motto now is "just keep running" ....lol, I'll be so glad when it's over!
I need to fit more running in - I have only managed to do two per week so far. I would like to sign up for a nice road race (I am doing 5K in two weeks but am thinking more along the lines of 10 miles or similar). We have a scenic 8K coming up but it is in a park known for ticks and Lyme disease - not sure the scenery is worth it.
Hi all. I'm hoping to get back on track with my exercise since I basically stopped after my half marathon a week ago. I did go to class today and am planning on getting to the gym at least the next 4 days. I've realized at my age it's not easy losing weight anymore and my body has succumbed to the dreaded softness so that means it's time to start up weight training. Not sure where to start. Anyone have any suggestions on how to incorporate weight training and cardio at least 5x a week?
Citygirl, congrats on running a half marathon! How did it go? Don't feel bad about taking a break, you deserve it! Weight training is good though, and you don't need too much time to do it. I would say start off with 2-3x per week, maybe 20-25 min just to get in the habit. Once you're in the habit it will be much easier to keep up, and maybe extend it if you want to.
