Do You Exercise??

[-SharonA-]

After morphing into a couch potato within a month of retiring with copious amounts of chocolate and vodka, something had to be done.
So I now make myself go swimming once a week and twice a week I walk laps around my local park for a hour.
So what exercise do you do??

[Cloverjo]

Not a lot. I used to cycle everywhere, but once I got my car I became very lazy. I go out for walks most days, but not very strenuous ones. I keep meaning to get back on my bike a bit more, but haven't quite managed it yet.

[B00]

What's "exercise"?

[-SharonA-]

Oh yes I've got a bike and it is rusting away in the back garden. I am petrified of riding them!!!

[-SharonA-]

Boo, something that gets you fit and panting!!!!

[B00]

Errr no then, sounds suspiciously healthy and i'll have no truck with it.

[-SharonA-]

Believe you me Boo, I used to think like that, but now everything is seizing up!!

[ummmm]

I wander round the house.

[-Talbot-]

When do you think the novelty of retirement will wear off, Sharon?

[ukbod2015]

brisk walking swimming cycling wii fit - the wifes got me and her on the slimming world lark - 11lbs off in 5 weeks

[-SharonA-]

Talbot, I think it has worn off! I had great plans of what I was gonna do and think I have only done one thing on my list!!!

[-SharonA-]

That's great ukbod!!!! Hence the name right?!?!?

I fast walk with an ipod about 40 mins maybe 5 days a week in the summer evenings. that's all. Exercise is mainly boring.

My right hand gets plenty of exercise (no, no, not that) with my tv remote control & computer mouse :-)

[-SharonA-]

Lol trt!!!!!

I aim to swim once a week (30 to 45 min) and also do a 1 hour weekly salsa dance - it's great fun and good excercise. Also I don't feel so guilty when I come home from the class and spend the rest of the evening in front of the tv/lapptop!

[-SharonA-]

I know what you mean losgigs!!! My hubby thinks I am undoing all my good work by sitting here constantly.

[losgigs]

Lol! Well at least you know you've done the good work earlier in the day by swimming/walking etc. I find it easier to get more exercise in the better weather so as winter approaches I'll probably be less inclined to go out. Always good to go for a walk though, unless it's pouring down!

[-SharonA-]

Agree! In the winter I will be holed up indoors.

[Tilly2]

I have a pedometer and I make it a mission to walk 10,000 steps a day. Today I have done 8785.......epic fail!

[ukbod2015]

No, Bod as in the old army slang for a person
