We good cooks need our EXERCISE too!

So ... I'm off for my workout. What do you all do for your exercise. I did nothing until about a month ago and my heart attack has sort of changed my attitude toward exercise!

Go figure!

I'll see y'all in a bit!

To be honest I don't do much, I mean I move around a good bit but nothing deemed as "exercise"

I don't do much, either. Maybe we should do the same thing Mike does! If it's good enough for a guy who had a heart attack, we should be able to do it!

I do feel better after exercising. I know it's hard to get into the routine of doing it, but the benefits are so great that it's worth the effort. 30 minutes a day is enough to get that heart pumping. We can all afford that much time.

Good work Mike, I'm proud of you. Keep it up

Exercise is so like work, isn't it? But they both pay!

Boy... I've had a hard time getting motivated for exercise in the last week and a half...

But I got back on that horse

(treadmill) today!!!
30 minutes interval training... 400 calories...

Maybe tomorrow I'll include some weights.... you definitely feel better after a work-out!

A lot of you folks know that DH and I quit smoking a couple of months ago. We are on the Atkins maintenance after losing a lot of weight a couple of years ago. Well, we quit smoking and both gained weight! DH 8 lbs, me 6. Freaking out, I called the doctor who said it's normal, slowing of metabolism from quitting smoking.

So, we bought a treadmill last week and are both diligently working our way up in minutes!

that's why I like Curves...you get in, get it done and get out. I can be out about 50 minutes door to door!

this is the best time to do it though...when it's only 8 & 6 pounds as opposed to 50!
