ive decided that im going to start training for 'race for life 09' i have a crosstrainer here at home and once i feel a bit fitter i will start jogging in the evenings..

now my OH said 'you know people dont actually run!?' (during race for life) which i am aware of.. i just want to be able to jog some of it!

anybody else want to join me in exercising?

lastnight i did 10minutes on my crosstrainer and did 20minutes of power walking with the double buggie

when I start though lol...!!

Im gonna get my wii fit today and start !! As my gym wants me to wait 6 weeks!!

You might want to wait a little while. I had a mid wife tell me that women that start exercising before 6 weeks PP or before they've stopped bleeding have prolapsed uterus when they get older.

I'm in. I've been walking 3 days a week about 2 miles, but I really need to start doing some kind of strength training. I'm going to have DH blow up my exercise ball again and get back to it.

 

[leedsforever]

really?? even just light excercises??

 

[Mamafy]

I know you shouldnt do any sort of stomach exercises before 6 weeks as the muscles can split and never recover I'm not sure of the wii fit, that would be fairly strenuous?? maybe just go for walks for a few weeks or ring your mw and see what she thinks??

 

[leedsforever]

well the wii fit has things like step aerobics etc etc!!

And light jogging!! Ill prob avoid all the toning excercises ....

but walking is something I def want to do!! Not in this weather though

 

[Mamafy]

I want a treadmill my oh has said hes getting one for xmas as he wants to start running

 

[Tezzy]

i love my crosstrainer! id rather one of them than a treadmill because i have arthritis in my knees and a crosstrainer is more gentle on your joints

 

[lorrilou]

oh, think i'll start tommorow.

i normally walk to work and i love doing my pump it up dvds but feel like im gonna die afterwards!!

so im gonna set myself a goal and get back to 9 1/2st in time for christmas!!
