Re: NTR: Poll-Exercise
I exercise 3-4 days/week. I mostly do 30 Day Shred while DD is napping, or when the weather is nice we'll go for a long walk outside.
I need to exercise more and/or eat less dessert to battle this dang extra five pounds that's hanging around!
I go to the gym 3-4 days a week. Mondays, I do a burn class (interval sprints on the treadmill mixed with strength training). Wednesdays I usually do a rebound class (on a trampoline) followed by a body sculpting class, and Thursdays I do a full body resistance class on something that is kind of like a pilates machine (hard to explain). On the weekends I usually just do the treadmill. DS goes to the gym daycare on Mondays, and is at his 2 year old program W/Th (with DH on weekends).
I also don't drive, so DS and I walk 2-3 miles a day. Actually, the gym is a mile walk each way.
Unfortunately, I have been gorging on DS's Easter candy, so my hard work at the gym has been completely negated this week. Oh well.
pre kids... jogged 5-7 days a week.
post dd (#1)... walked every day, did pilates at home, and started going to the gym to jog on a treadmill/dd in playroom w/ gym sitter 3-5 days a week starting when she was 8 or 9 m/o.
post ds (#2).... what's exercise? I do walk the dog while pushing the kids in the stroller over the summers... too cold here during the winters (with dc in tow). dh walks him in the mornings during the week, work most weekends. I did train for a 5k last summer and jogged /walked it while pushing the kids in the double stroller... it was a pathetic fail. when ds starts preschool next fall... I plan on jogging full force again.
I try to go to the gym three days a week. Currently, being 27 weeks pg, I do a half hour on the treadmill at a speed that keeps my heartrate around 120, then I do a half hour of light weight training. I either do free weights for my arms or machines for my legs, alternating the days that I do them.
When I'm wasn't pregnant, I was doing a lot more strenuous workouts with a lot of resistance/core training (lunges, pushups, planks, and heavier free weights, etc.). I was also going 4-5 days per week.
normally 3-4x a week.
right now at 34wks preg? 2-3. lol
i do circuit classes mainly. weights mixed with cardio.
i go at about 9am.

I haven't exercised since last fall, back before I was in nursing school. It (school) was so time consuming, that I didn't have time to exercise so it fell to the wayside.
When I did exercise, it was walking and running outside. Then when I quit nursing school, it was cold. Too cold for this chicken to run outside.
We can't really afford a gym membership, and don't own any equipment.
Now that it's warmer, I am about to start walking/running again. I'm thinking about trying the "Couch to 5K" plan. Then just doing some home exercises (sit-ups, push-ups, squats, hand weight stuff) to build some muscle. I may start taping some exercise shows from the Fit TV channel, or seeing if there's something like that On Demand. I can't do regular workout DVD's because I get bored with the repetitiveness.
When I'm pregnant, I work out five or six days a week, usually running 3-4 miles on the treadmill and sometimes doing the elliptical. When not pregnant, I work out six days a week; I usually run about 50 miles per week and do some elliptical after my shorter runs.
We have a home gym in our basement, which gives me no excuses! During the week, I work out after feeding DD breakfast while she plays in the same room. On weekends, I work out (and run outside when I can) while DH feeds her breakfast.
no, but I find myself really tired and rundown and have been thinking about starting up again. When I was single, I worked out 5-6x a week, and was in the best shape.
I really hope once New Baby comes and I quit work that I will make time to exercise more often.
