Hi ladies, thought I’d start this thread to chat about our different types of fitness..

Today I did a short walk, only 20mins and really not enough.. need to do more this week ahead.. x

[Foxylady]

Usually go a walk or out on bikes but not felt great today so no exercise, weather bit rubbish too. OH found my skipping ropes in the shed! I had hunted high & low for them recently. Looking forward to Pilates tomorrow night!

[jillydoll]

Nothing! Sat on my arse all day...I've taken the day of rest quite literally today! 😄
Not bad considering I'm always on the go......I did walk the dog earlier...🤷‍♀️

Gardening.  Gardening.  More ...........

Mucked out a sheep shed, 🐑🐏💩now I need a new back. And I've found the perfect solution for mood swings, a chest of drawers and a lump hammer is very satisfying...

[CLKD]

 .  oh that poor set of drawers, was there no hope to get it re/up-cycled 

I don't mind mucking out 

[sheila99]

 It's spent the last 30 years with the middle drawer screwed in to stop the sides bulging out and the drawers falling through so definitely past it's best. Will recycle it as fire lighting material! And I can lend you a shovel anytime... I prefer mucking out to cleaning the house.

[CLKD]

So do I  - I spend all day in the garden even if the house is a TIP!  One can see results with mucking out, gardening .........

I have a tread mill - free to a good home ;-)

Great idea for a thread Jari! Yesterday I went for a lovely coastal walk but only about 4 miles - enough though....not sure what's planned for today as my fitness classes are not on this week and also going away too.

That sounds like a good sleep Teresa! Very refreshing. I've found that really dark room helps too and not eating too late. My bedroom lets in some light so I'm going to try eye shades.
Up and down stairs sounds like good activity and walking to work! 👍 keep posted how the classes go. X

I just did an hour very brisk walk. Feels good. Since meno symptoms started a couple of years ago, I've found I sweat a lot more, which I actually like, as it feels like sweating out toxins, like being in a sauna!

I've started this week with aiming to drink 2litres of water a day. I have 750ml bottles filled with tap water in fridge to measure it and almost one down at the mo.. 👍 x

[jillydoll]

Have a lovely holiday Hurdity....x

[CLKD]

......  more gardening.  Then read the other exercise thread, worn out now 

[Jari]

Thanks Hurdity, have a good hol!

CLKD. 

I'm on my second bottle of water and realising I definitely haven't been drinking anywhere near 2litres a day. I know we get some fluid through food, but I think we're still meant to drink 2litres of water a day, especially if working out... i will do it all this week and see how it goes.. x

Drinking too much can cause death.  If the urine is straw coloured it's OK: lighter, drinking too much, dark - not enough.  One sweats when hot, not to disperse fluids which goes out via the kidneys into urine ;-)

I'm going to walk upstairs for my bath - does that count?  Also, rubbing down with a warm towel .......... little steps?

[Jari]

Yes, I think 2 litres of water a day is a good aim. It feels about right for me. Wee is a good colour!
Not sure walking up to your bath counts CLKD, but it's a good thought.
