rwaller is a spammer.  

[suzi-q]

Yes, rwaller also sent me a message about this...I prefer not to have advertisements sent to me.  Who is this person?

[Whatawoman]

Again I say stop using this forum as an advertising platform, it is a support forum no one for you to advertise and sell a product -  and please dont send notes to people asking them to try the poduct either....

[suzi-q]

When exercise equipment like bikes, treadmills, trampolines get boring-  make sue you wither have the TV or radio on and for me it is the radio and my ijump trampoline and I bounce for one song then pop on the computer and check emails, facebook, here etc then back on for one song -  it is about 3 mins per song and I do about 400 steps per song... my heart rate goes up then comes down while I move to the computer, seems to keep my matabolism kicked into gear and also I dont notice the 30 mins of jumping during the hour in the moring and hour in the afternoon I do this. 8000 steps achieved, 2 hours with no eating, and better matabolism and blood pressure.

YOU HAVE A POOL????

I'm on my way!

Seriously, if you don't like just swimming, get an aquajogger belt.  Its a fabulous workout!

[suzi-q]

I guess I will join the Senior Citizens down at the Y!!!!  Just joking!!!  LOL!!!!!  Yes, swimming is great exercise....and I do have a pool...now to get me to do it instead of just floating around...hmmmmmm......

[peekawho]

Try swimming.  Its excellent exercise.

That's too bad. That really limits your exercising.

I walk 3 miles a day, and decided last week that I would jog 1 mile and walk 2. It definitely increased my heart rate and sped up my time, but I'm beginning to feel a lot of discomfort in my right knee, due to an old injury.

I hate it, because I'm so wanting to lose weight and really get into shape and now my body is showing it's age and won't let me do what I want to do! Lol

[suzi-q]

That is the problem...I would love to walk outside but I have terrible shin splints from the early eighties high impact aerobics, plus a bad left knee.  So, I have to do the elliptical or a bike....I know that I would truly get into running, but I just can't do it.  And the elliptical gets VERY BORING!!!

Thanks for the pep talk!!!  I am going to hang in there!

[1nana]

oops, that should be stationary!

[1nana]

Hey suzi, you still have a good 5 weeks or so to get it together before school starts.

Are you doing the elliptical everyday? Start with 10 minutes and work your way up.

I personally prefer to go for a walk (even in this heat), because I can't stand being stationery.

Remember, one meal at a time!
