Got my first workout done

I should have started last week, but I finally did today. It was a short 30 minute cardio session. I chose Zumba (dancing). I'd like to do some strength training eventually too, but I'm doing what I can at home for now. Do you workout? If so, what do you like to do for exercise?

That's understandable, and it's good to want to start! Wii Fit is a great idea :) My Zumba workout was on the Wii!

For strength training you can find different things to use at home. Like a gallon of milk. Just keep lifting and lowering it. Great job starting.

@MommyOfEli2013 It would still help. You dont need a lot of weight unless you want to get into body building.

I do have some weights, they just aren't very heavy. And I have weighted gloves for a strength training kickboxing workout.

I used to. I don't anymore. I used tot each dancing - tap, ballet, jazz until my body stopped cooperating. If I had a choice of exercises that I would be allowed to do I would choose Zumba.

Nice job. I do water aerobics, Pilates and yoga at the gym. I also walk to the store, the gym, even to church depending on the weather.

@MommyOfEli2013 Thanks! Yes it is. But when it's cold outside, it's not picnic. That's why I skip the gym since I don't drive.

Water aerobics sounds like fun! And that's great that you do the others as well! And walking to those places when you can is good :)

@KristenH Oh yeah, I understand that! Cold is not fun to go out in, especially walking.

I workout 3-4 times a week at the gym. It is very similar to CrossFit.

That is good, I've seen your posts about it occasionally. I've heard of CrossFit, but never tried that.

Ohh.....I see. Well whatever makes you happy

Yeah. I'm working out 5 times a week mostly strength trainings and I'm feeling so good about myself. For example if I'm depressed I will go for a run or for a walk so that is one of the greatest ways to feel better.

That is good to workout 5 times a week....and strength training is great! And that is good to do some form of exercise when you feel depressed....definitely helps even though it might not sound like it would.
