I walk from my car to the building and up stairs!

No I am athletic but I have been put on hold. I got into a really bad car accident a year ago and have nerve damage in my back so I really can't do much!

Re: How much physical activity does everyone get?

I run about 25-30 mins each time so it averages about 3-3.4 miles each time I am in training

I am Queen Lazy!!

I used to go to a gym in NYC but it got too expensive when we got engaged, so I gave it up. I like taking classes because I need variety!

But given the fact the wedding is in 3 months, FH and I have both started kicking it up. We go the gym in our building (which is very inexpensive) and mainly use the treadmills and steppers and bikes . FH uses the nautilus. And on the few days it was nice out the past month or so, we went walking outside which I much prefer to the gym !

I also have been doing my ab workout and some light weights.

But trust me, this is MAINLY because of the wedding and HM! On average I'm truly lazier than lazy!!

Re: How much physical activity does everyone get?

I do a whole lotta dog walking. And bike riding. Swimming in summer. No gym, though. I just don't like the whole gym atmosphere.

Re: How much physical activity does everyone get?

I used to run 5-10 miles 6 days a week. I hurt my knee so I can't run that much anymore. I go walking on the boardwalk with one of my girlfriends every now and then but when it is nicer out we are going to go more often. I also rollerblade and ride bikes with my FH. I like to play sports and do active atuff when it is nice outside. I have an exercise bike for inside but I rarely use it. It bores me! I also do weights 3 times a week.

Re: How much physical activity does everyone get?

Well I am not in PT (physical therapy) anymore so I dont 'do' much.

But I work midtown and refuse to walk from Penn Station to my office in Rockefeller.. So...

Instead I walk up the stairs at Penn to the concourse then up the stairs to the Uptown E, then up the stairs at 7th ave to the Downtown B/D, then up the three sets of stairs at Rockefeller Center to get to 46th & 6th. That's TO work.. then home it's down three sets of stairs to the B/D then up a set of stairs at 7th avenue and down 2 sets of stairs to my train.

I count that!

With my knee injury and these new artifical arches I wear in my shoes.. doing all that climbing and stomping (going down stairs) and slopes (Penn Station) is very uncomfortable.

And on weekends I walk around a minimum of three hours with these things on my feet. Then another few hours without it.

My bag is considered heavy enough to be weight lifting (not including my purse) and i lift it everywhere.

Does that stuff count?

Re: How much physical activity does everyone get?

Usually I go to the gym 4 - 5 days a week and do about 30 - 45 minutes of heavy weight training (to add some bulk to my teensy build) and about 30 minutes of cardio. Lately though, I've been kind of tired so I haven't been able to go to the gym as much as I'd like. Too much wedding stuff to do - only 18 days left!
