Hey everybody,

Have decided i might change the title of this thread to "Exercise Group "... It sounds more effective (and inspiring)... What do you think?

Rightiho, down to business,

It's been a tough few days with working and all, but i am finally feeling the effects of exercise. I woke up this morning and realised that i am feeling slightly more positive, which is good. Exercise really does improve wellbeing.

Have just had breakfast and am about to go for a walk.

Let me know your antics, your anti-antics and anything else that may interest us mad exercisers

Well , all I can say is that I have been exercising non stop for 40 years and it has done me just fine. Without the daily routine I would be lost . It keeps me up, energetic, happy and
very self confident. I'm now 45 and keep pace in any sport with the twenty year old crew .
When we stop being active our body ages rapidly, I've seen it time and time again. My mother is 75 and skies 15K every day in the winter , and walks the same during the summer every day. She is very young for her age, vibrant and upbeat . What can I say,
exercise is one of the best things we can do for our health despite some of our negative habits.

Yep Robert - I'm with you on that one - been exercising to excess all my life - aint gonna stop now!

Just somehow got roped in to training for a Triathlon again after several years away from competition.
When I was really bad with the alcohol - exercise did suffer - I never stopped - but wasn't doing nearly as much as I used to / like to.

I plan to remedy that now!

Take care

Well done your Mother - my Father is 75 and similar! Cycles and walks every day - he just recently bought himself a motorcycle!

Hi all,
Three hours cycling for me today. Ouch. Will have to get some padded shorts...

Riker: Thanks for yesterday's running programme. I tried running for the first time in years a few days ago and didn't know how to pace it. I just went for it and stopped when I couldn't carry on (only 15 minutes!). So now I'll try that programme to build up gradually.

Hello everybody, I gotta say this is so great to share this experience with others !! I've always enjoyed my workouts, but now it's that much better !! Thanks again Change !! This morning after doing all the barn chores I took one of my dogs for a hike through the bush. (the older lab must have been sleeping in the house and besides I don't get to have 1 on 1 with Beau very often.. She really enjoyed it !! ) Later today I did my 30 minutes of cardio ( elliptical/bike) bowflex and then floorwork/abdominals.. I'm noticing that I'm more aware during the day of my posture and holding my stomach firm and strong... I had 2 C-sections 15 & 17 years ago, so all my muscles were cut... I need to strenghthen them.. My stomach used to be really rock hard before we had our boys. I'll have to sneak in a workout tomorrow morning because I have to go into town, then pack for camp.. I'll be away until Sunday... So I'll be moving wood, shovelling sand for the beach and swimming alot... Keep up the good work everybody !!! Hugs,

I thought I was good, but Robert and Satori you guys put me to shame. Or maybe you just inspire me more.

Oh yea, baby - We're gonna be the MWO BUFF TEAM!!! Oh yea!!!

Nothing better for sobriety than exercise.

I lifted weights this morning (I ain't no wimp) and rode my bike for 5 miles this evening (trail riding). Tomorrow morning I have another session with my new killer trainer. I'll be sore this weekend.

Oh well.

Chance, thanks for the update on your location. ! Super idea this thread.
Marshys you are welcome ! It's a great way to get started on the right foot :-)

Mags, the MWO BUFF TEAM sound great to me !!! WE will PUMP YOU UP !! ( a la Arnold)

Robert, Satori, you guys are truly exercise nuts !!.. good on you. A year ago I was excersising hard core 3 days a week..and because of it I drank less then, but the booze did hold me back in achieving my full potential.. those Monday night workouts after a weekend of drinking were KILLERS..

Got over zealous on day and injured my shoulder.. tried to work through it but it was banged up pretty good.. so I stopped and a year and half later, I'm just starting to get back into it..It's slow and easy for the next little while.. I keep it to jogging (30 mins) 3 times a week and cycling 45 to 60 minutes 3 times a week.

Speaking off.. with the money I saved in beer the last 4 days I treated myself to some new training / running performance clothes.. and new shoes.. woo hoo !

Keep active everyone !
