I am just about to go out on a walk...it is raining here and I really don't want to go, but I am going to make myself!Aim to be out for at least half an hour.
I have been on the Wii for about ten minutes, but it was Wii music...so that doesn't count , as you only really move your arms!!!
I am planning to have a big clean of the house tomorrow...and use a bit of elbow grease!!Maybe I will put the music channel on and dance around a bit (will shut the curtains first!)
I went to the cinema last night and shared a bag of chocolate raisins ...does that count as one of my five a day??

Just got back from a half hour run/ walk and feel so much better..those endorphins are fair flying round my body...an anti dote to depression if ever there was one.My gorgeous OH came with me, but could n't persuade D to come today.

Just come back fom my walk...had to tread carefully cos of the ice.Got to the village OK...and then slipped, banged my head...I could see stars, but mostly felt REALLY daft, when an elderly man had to pick me up.Walked back home with a humdinger of a headache, but felt quite virtuous for walking for over an hour.
Housework here I am come!!I am feeling very motivated and on top of the world!!!LOL

Ouch Bloss! or was the embarrassment factor worse?
So far today i have done 14,743 steps, of which 9790 were actually done in a walk ove 84 minutes. Most days i do over 15,000 steps - the benefit of dog - walking.
Over Xmas, i did a ridiculous amount of gardenening.
as you all know, I go dancing at least twice a week and depending on what you are doing, it can be either stretching and flexibility based or pretty aerobic. i hate housework, so that gets done in double quick time as well.
And as i have a dodgy back, i do my physio exercises every day and some simple stretching ones as well. I don't like repetitive stuff, so gyms are a bit of a no-no for me, though I have good things about the curves gym.

Hello all you keep-fitters this is a great thread especially the comments about the WII fit. I have just started my regime and so far have tried the balance exercises (v. bad), hula hoops (ok but was breathless after 2 mins) and yoga (quite good). Think I will try the jogging next.
I am living in the French Alps for 3 months so will hopefully be doing lots of skiing plus we have our dog with us so she is getting plenty of walks in the snow. My aim is to lose a stone by Easter. Just need to stay away from the apres-ski!

Chilla...I am so impressed with the amount of steps you do per day!!As i said on an earlier thread, i haven't found a pedometer that is accurate and doesn't register hen you go over a bump in the car!
I have been really active this afternoon...oin housework!I have decided to view housework s exercise and hopefully more will get done and I will get fitter.I have cleaned the windows, hoovered right through swept the wooden floors and polished all the surfaces.The kitchen has had a thorough going over ...it is gleaming!
I did intend to tidy up the garden...but it is getting dark now so it will have to wait....I will just have to do some sit ups while watching the TV tonight!

As I've posted on Whitley Bays thread, try an Omron, Blossom. They are really accurate, I even dropped mine down stairs once and it didn't register one extra step! Sometimes it makes a difference where you keep it. Mine's OK in my jeans pocket or if I'm wearing a skirt, it nestles in my bra. We are very good friends, I've had him for 18 months and we've been for a lot of walks
