With the rapid weight loss I've experienced, I've been thinking about exercise...ugggh. Not a bit fan of intentional exercise. I love yoga, do that twice a week. But it's not like exercising. I do it with a group of women I adore, in the Niagara Kayak Rentals garage. We do an hour class together twice a week. It is a very special time for me, we laugh, we sometimes cry, we support one another in these precious 2 hours. So, for me that doesn't feel like exercise. Going to a gym...running...these feel like intentional exercise to me. I know I have to do more then yoga...this weight is shedding fast...I don't want to wake up and look at myself in the mirror naked looking like I'm wearing a Squirrel Suit. What is a squirrel suit you ask?...ever see those guys that jump off mountains and cliffs without a parachute?, then they open their arms and legs and their outfit looks like a flying squirrel. Well, I think you get the picture...not pretty...must tone.
I'm thinking I could probably commit to 30 min a day of brisk walking. I know my dog would love it. Beyond that, well I just don't know. Maybe flying squirrels are kind of cute, and besides, that is what spanx were invented for.

I think you should do a dance class :) If not pole something else! its so much fun.
ReplyDeleteI would love to do a pole class, I haven't been on the pole since I was paying my way through school 30 years ago...just kidding...never been on the pole. Sure sounds fun though...perhaps ballroom dance class would be more my speed. :)
DeleteROTFLMAO - Squirrel suit - too funny. Leeann, don't dismiss walking. When I lost 57lbs back in 2005 that was my only exercise (besides yoga). Start small - when I began, I would walk around the block, each week I would add a block. That's not possible in your neighbourhood - LOL, so walk one way down the pkwy for 15min - turn around and return. 30min - done. Each week add 5 min. I worked up to an hour and then picked up my pace for that hour walk and found out I could do it in about 43min after 6-8months. That's when I decided to try running. As for yoga, hold the poses longer and add more sun salutations. Free weights are also easy to use. Lot's of online videos. Good luck - build that muscle mass.
ReplyDeleteThanks for making me laugh so hard - at work. "busted"
Don't worry, I haven't dismissed walking...I just don't want to exercise. I envy your love of it...I just not feeling the love :(
