Hi all, I am trying to get back into running and exercising everyday. I ran track and swam in high school and until a couple of years ago I was still running 5 miles every day, religiously, along with weight and resistance training. I felt great and want to get back into it (and my old clothes!) Soooo, I am wondering whether anyone on the board would like to do an exercise commitment, just checking in every day and posting what you did. My personal goals for now are to jog at least 2 miles a day, and do either yoga or weight training in addition. I think it would make me more motivated and hopefully do the same for others!! Anyone in?

Count me in! I usually do two miles on my treadmill (walking, not jogging!) but, with some stuff going on this week, I skipped almost an entire week.

We have a running thread under "marathoners" where we are journaling our running. I am doing 6 miles 3x per week at this point and 3x per week of resistance training. I can post here if it will help encourage us to stay with it.
Peace.

I hate running, so I won't do any of that, but I am trying to work out more with strength building. I sorta stopped recently for a vacation and haven't been able to really do much more than a crappy workout since. Even before I began slacking off.
Stupid TV.
Count me in :)

Cool Todd.... 6 miles! That is very encouraging! I am checking in to say I did my 2 miles of jogging, some walking, and free weights today. Yay!

I'm commiting to working out (I take classes that are similar to Jazzercise but are pretty freakin tough sometimes!) 2 days a week. Mondays and Wednesday evenings are my workout days. If I go any other times in the week I count it as a bonus :)
Baby steps, ya know?:)
Z-It's a wonderful thing to be proud of what you eat!

I'm in, if we all agree to check in every day. That'd be great.
I'm trying to get back into exercising daily since I stopped last summer. I got very sick in the early part of the winter but I healed myself with raw foods and now I want to build my strength up again. I've lost a ton of weight and am feeling somewhat fragile.
Basically, I want to do walking, yoga, pushups and ab work.

Count me in! I can't run for another week and a half, but I can walk. My goal is to walk three miles a day six days a week until I can run, then run five to six days a week.

Count me in too!
I exercise each day so this will hold me accountable to increasing what I am doing. I mix up my routine so each week I have a variety including cardio, weight training, Yoga, Tai Chi, and other aerobics classes. But walking is my favorite!
This is a great idea!

My first day--I didn't exercise!
I was so freaked out about my foot arches trying to cramp up that I was afraid to do anything. But I think it's better today, and I plan to walk this evening, I'll just go slow enough to be aware of anything trying to cramp up.

I'll try and post too! I'm back at the gym every day (or try to be) and am starting a new weight lifting program.
Starting back to yoga classes this week too!Cheers

I made it to yoga class last night ... ouch. I haven't been keeping up with yoga for a long time now - so stretching isn't that easy anymore. We worked on abs ... oh my!
Was at the gym this morning at the appointed hour (4 am). Toned down my workout some -- did cardio, legs, and treadmill. (and steamroom, of course!). My muscles are a bit sore, but I feel great!Cheers

I ran today 2 miles and it is getting easier. Now I am off to do some upper body weights. I can't wait till it gets nicer outside (no more snow!)

Checking in for today. . . you all are keeping me honest.
Didn't work out today. . . but tomorrow I have a yoga class at 10:30.
What are everybody's fitness goals? I don't need to lose any weight but I do want to feel stronger in general, and trim my middle.
