Hi Everyone,
Good to read those weekly summaries. Record keeping is one of my passions too. I know it is not always easy.
I just returned from about 12 miles of vigorous cycling. Not exactly the Alps or the Pyrennes here in Kansas, but there are some steep hills and I had pretty good leg strength today. [...]

Sandy – week up to June 29th
A very mixed week I’m afraid.
Monday: 4010 steps
Tuesday: nearly an hour of gardening but the whole afternoon eating (see blog)
Wednesday: incredibly stiff muscles from gardening so mooched around the house without pedometer
Thursday: 3671 steps – lunch in town
Friday: another gardening session (and I didn’t suffer quite so badly afterwards) but went out for lunch again [...]

June 24th: 30 mn fast biking, 1 hour Feldenkrais session, walking so little that there’s no point mentioning it

Naomi – June 26, checking in
June 15 left NYC for Portland, Oregon, to visit family. Dutiful about pedometer use…less so on the food end. Way more red meat than at home.
Too much time in auto but wonderful time with grandkids. Trade-offs. Chocolate not too bad but miss having more control of food intake. More next week when I return.

Lia – a bit like a dry run

Sunday: 1 hr walking (fast)
Monday: 6 km cycling, 40 min. walking
Tuesday: 20 minutes walking
Wednesday: nothing
Thursday: 40 min. walking (fast), 1 hr yoga
It’s been a difficult week to exercise. Too much stress at work. Too much confusion at home (in Luebeck). Too many [...]

We all start somewhere
Hi Everyone,
If I seem like an overly eager exerciser, it’s because I’ve been at it for a couple decades. Around age 40 my wife and I decided to start taking the advice coming out about diet and exercise. I became a vegetarian without too much trouble, and we both began to work out daily. Looking [...]

Today’s workout
Hi Everyone!
Hoped to get out and bike, but it rained enough to discourage that. So I did an hour on the treadmill. About 3.5 mph on flat ground, so nothing epic. I did a hard (defined as using big gears) indoor workout on the bike trainer yesterday.
What we hoped for today, but maybe can do [...]

Claude – June 16th to June 23rd
Not much fast walking or fast biking this week. But lots of playing with my new toy.
I started this week differently, as I don’t want to replace fast walking or biking with Wii Fit aerobics, but add to my programme.
June 16, pedometer said 9,000 steps and I had a one-hour Feldenkrais session.
June 17th, pedometer: 11,000 [...]

Lia- Luebeck a Walker’s Paradise
It is wonderful that all of us on this site is living and exercising in different corners of the world. I just came back from a walk along the Luebeck Trave canal. This is a canal that surrounds the island of Luebeck. At eleven o’clock on a sunny Sunday, the walkways are populated with walkers, [...]
