I fell of the exercising.  I caught a cold a few months back and have not had the energy to get going again.

Mike walks 30 mins a day, most days. Has just started running for a little bit afterwards. He also does 40 minutes of weight training, and thinking of starting yoga soon.

My working out has been put on hold temporarily by me.  Due to the daylight savings time change, having to work OT at my job, and having low hbg/hematocrit which has now qualified me for epo shots.  Yikes! Hoping to get back on the band wagon once things get a little bit back to normal... (what is "normal"?  :urcrazy; )

I went to the gym tonight- 15 minutes on the bike, 10 minutes on the treadmill, 10 laps running in the pool. A little arm work out on two machines.

Glad to hear you're back at it Kitkatz.  It is hard to return after much time away but hopefully it'll soon be routine once again.

I did the best Pilates class yesterday and noticed some serious improvements.  I now do my abdominal rollups on the most intense position and as slow as molasses.  No problem at all.  Also managed the plank with pushups for about 5 reps, which isn't great but since I could do none before, I'm happy and the instructor told me afterwards that my form was really good.  I'm sore everywhere this morning so today I'll do straight cardio, no weights...elliptical, bike, rowing for 20 minutes each and then a 5 minute killer arm workout with the heavy ropes.

If you already have the shuffle down, maybe it's time to try tap dancing.... ;D

Shuffling counts as exercise, though!

Thanks to the encouragement and information from IHDers I am gonna work on reclaiming my inner athlete. I need to work with my neph to get my hemocrit up as high as possible and make certain my iron is good . I can join the Y and work out with the seniors and do some home strenght excercisese based on my prior training experience. I miss riding my bicycle the most and hope to get the strength back to be able to at least ride the 5 miles to church and back.

I have to loose like 50 pounds to put me in better shape for transplant and get my blood pressure down.

thanks to my new pals here I now know I dont have to put up with being a overwieght weekling.  :thx; :cheer: :flower;

I used to be able to walk 3 miles most days, but for whatever reason, my fistula surgery back in March really sapped my energy.  I've slowly started walking again, and today I got back to three miles for the first time since my op.  I have yet to walk three miles all in one go, though; today, I did it in two stints of 1.5 miles each.  Yesterday I put down 3 HEAVY bags of mulch on my front garden beds, so I've been getting a good workout each day lately.  The exercise really helps me sleep.  Once it gets warm enough, I'm off to the pool!  Yay!
