Working Out

Does anyone else work out? I do at least 5 days a week and I was thinking if anyone had any great work outs they might want to share. :headbang: :boxing: :thewave:
 
I do but I inline speed skate, it is very intense but with all types of work out find something you really like :sunny:
 
I run on the treadmil and eliptical. I sometimes do weight training. I am thinking of boxing? That could be fun to punch that bag when I just want to slap somebody :laughing:
 
I do. It's called running after the kids, cleaning house, doing laundry, cooking, feeding the kids, opening and closing the door for the UPS/DHL/Fedex guy ( :crazytongue:), trying to explain to my daughter to wipe food off on the napkin and not in her hair, trying to teach our four-month-old to changes his own diapers......................

I used to do that same work out :headbang: Not any more though. Now I'm just living the life of leisure so I have to come up with ways to stay fit.
 
I am trying to find something that will be easy on me with the fibro. I bought me a Tony Little thingy and can use it, but I thing I would might like Pilates for the stretching. I would like to try it ~ I know it isn't a great workout, but I am going to have to go slow and work my way up.

Pilates would probably be good for you and you are right take it slow. It will give you long lean muscle. I tried it but I prefer jogging. I also like lifting weights.

You know my step daughter had fibro and she is only 24. She is a mess though. She is looking at her life as being over and she has been on antidepressants. DH and I are trying to get her off those.
 
Make sure she doesn't stop them cold turkey ~ it will do more harm than good ~ trust me on that one. She will need to go to a doctor and taper off. My sister stopped hers and it was terrible. I thought we were going to have to take her somewhere she was in such bad shape. She didn't tell anyone and we couldn't figure out what was a matter with her. It was scary.

Fibro is a scary thing ~ especially when you are so young. Cindy if she wants to get in touch with me by email or phone you know I will talk to her. Her life isn't over! It just needs to be adjusted. I have a wonderful fibro group online that she can join with me ~ we are a bunch of goofballs and we talk about the pains of the pain! Just let her know that I am here if she is interested.
 
Thanks Tammy I will mention it to her next time I talk to her. She is in Colorado and we are in Texas. I told her yesterday she needs to get off that oxicotton. I don't know exactly what antidepressants she is on but she did say a couple.
 
They already have her on that strong of pain meds??? Oh my goodness ~ she has no where to go when her body gets tolerant to those ~ that is a bad thing. Right now, I am not on any pain meds at all, sometimes I feel like I need them, especially for migraines, but I have been pretty lucky. Fibro is one of those things that will trick your mind into things ~ she needs another doctor that isn't so quick into giving out that kind of medicine. It might seem great at the time ~ but it is hurting her in the long run. There just isn't much left after that.
 
I was at a local restaurant the other morning...in the drive-thru, picking up my eggs, sausage, biscuits and gravy and hashbrowns. This was just before dawn. :sleepy: As I sat in my truck waiting for the order to arrive, I noticed that there were a bunch of folk jogging down the road. They were in groups of two, three, and sometimes 8 or 9 people...all with their little jogging suits, tennis shoes, and reflective clothing accessories to be seen in the dark.

I thought to myself..."it sure is nice to see all these people jogging before dawn, trying to stay healthy and fit." It just makes me sick...these skinny, health nuts. :laughing: As you can tell, I certainly was not amongst this group of fanatics. The only excercise I got that morning was walking from my truck to my front door, loaded down with a wonderfully scrumpcious breakfast. :crazytongue: A fattening, artery-clogging gastronomical delightful breakfast.

How do people jog in Arkansas without being eaten by snapping turtles :scratch: (my BIL used to live in Cotton Patch)

:wave: I don't live there, but am familiar with snapping turtles. I have never heard of anyone being eaten by a snapping turle although they may have been bitten. Turtles are not fast. Any turtle that would be big enough to eat you would certainly be easy enough to see and stay away from. I personally would grab a knife, chop it's head off and say "Hello" to dinner! They are good! :laughing:
 
I know a lot of people who would like to eat them for dinner also ~ and we have our fair share here in this part of Kentucky Island!! They will probably be out in the middle of the road after the 2-3 inches of rain that we have gotten over the last couple of days! It is a soggy mess ~ I think this rain was meant for East and South of here and got lost!
 
Great, now I'm sitting here with a craving for turtle and rice and what with this drought there is not a turtle within three counties! :laughing:

My relatives eat them :laughing: seriously. We are cajun so cajuns pretty much eat anything. Haven't you ever heard of a turtle saucepecon
 
I was doing really well with working out but, lately I haven't been doing as much as I should. I would really like to have a bike so I can go riding, I know that would help. If I don't straighten up soon, I am never going to get back on track and lose the weight I need to lose.

I would also like the Tae bo and Richard simmons (Yes, Richard simmons, lol) tapes.
