Question

How much physical activity does everyone incorporate into their diets?  

Answer 1

I do 45-65 minutes on the elliptical 4-6 days a week.  

Answer 2

I work out every day. For me, it’s a total package - put healthy food in my body and strengthen my body. I can’t do one without the other and be successful.  

Answer 3

I have my Fit Points set at 75. I walk 3 miles every morning and golf a couple of times a week.  

Answer 4

Two 1 hour Pilates classes a week and 1 1/2 hrs walking on the Treadmill 5 to 6 times a week. I find the treadmill so boring so I read my Kindle while I'm on there. It usually helps when I'm tempted to really fall off the plan when I think about the time I spent on the TM.  

Answer 5

I swim about three times a week and walk anywhere from 2. 5 to 4 miles five times a week.  

Answer 6

II walk ride stationary bike and yoga But now we have lots of snow and ice so afraid to go out walking which is the best exercise but had knee sergery a year ago so very afraid of fall but will get back to walking wants the weather changes

Answer 7

I didn’t do any in the beginning but once my weight loss started to slow I now walk 20 a day and do yoga

Answer 8

I have been going to the gym every day and in the last two weeks I have averaged almost 16, 000 steps per day. BTW I’m 80 years old and just started exercising after having both knees replaced in 2017. It has really helped take the weight off faster. Ive lost 83# with WW and have about 29#’s to go.

I’m a walker. Currently I’m in a Step Bet and have to get between 10, 800 and 12, 500 daily. At least once a day I do a 2-mile walk at home with Leslie Sansone, it’s more strenuous than just walking.

@incomplete65 No Leslie has a lot of DVDs for walking at home. Back when I lost my original 178 lbs. in 2009-11, I submitted my story on her website and they sent me a box of her DVDs. They do advertise “Exercise TV” which back then was available on demand. Don’t know if that exists anymore?

Answer 24

Yoga! Doing recumbent bike since I have plantar faciatitis so cant do any pounding on the feet. Did RPM today.  

Comments

@danella Cyr Phelps I had plantar fasciitis and along with tendonitis and 2 heels spurs all at the same time and on one foot! It's been a year and I'm walking all the time 15, 000 steps a day ! I got a pair of ASIC runners with excellent arch support. go into any sporting store and let them know the problem you have with your feet. I promise you the right shoes makes such a difference  Asics all the way. best of luck!  

---

Yikes, you really had it rough. I am so glad that you are doing well now. Thanks for the shoe tip, my doctor wants me to go to a shoe store that specializes in foot problems and get some running shoes as well as inserts. I have worn Asic's in the past, maybe I will try them on again. I never feel like I ever have any arch support in any of the runners I get. I have a pair of Oofos recovery shoes, they have been a Godsend! I have a pair of flip flops by them as well. Awesome support! Not for running or walking, but I wear them everyday. Even the spin class bothered me yesterday, so I will be doing the recumbent bike and swimming until this gets better. So frustrating.

Comments

@sibilla I’m down 17 so far with just the small amount of walking at work

Answer 39

I dont get enough exercise. This is one of the areas that I need to work on in my health journey.  

Answer 40

I know people that don't need to exercise. I am not one of them. I have chosen exercises that I will be able to do anywhere and no matter how old I am. Walking, Small hand weights, exercise bike, dancing, cardio-drumming from YouTube videos. I would like to start yoga for strength and flexibility. But I feel the need to be able to get up off the floor without hoisting myself up on the couch like I am climbing Mount Everest. Although, if I start yoga is probably the best way to do that! Wow I just had an epiphany and will be starting yoga in April after I have my turn miniscus in my knee fixed. I chose 3 "easy" types of exercise Strength, cardio, and flexibility. I rarely watch tv but if there is something I really want to do, I march or ride the exercise bike in front of the tv. Everything I chose is easy and effective. Plus I can switch when I am bored

Answer 41

I do a 45 minute Leslie Sansone YouTube walking/workout at 5am, and another in the evening. Weekends 45 minute walk, weather permitting to replace one of the workouts. I’m going to start adding Really old school YouTube 08 minute arms, 08 minute legs, and one more, can’t think of which other one it was. In one or two months I will start my old step workouts to replace one of the Leslie Sansone ones.

I don't diet❗ I have changed my lifestyle through WW and part of that change is at least 30minutes of exercise everyday.

@fibroin Did you find your weight loss was slower due to the strength training because you were building muscle?
