I need wayyy more cardio than I get.  On days that I'm not working, my son and I try to be really active especially in the morning.  I was just looking at getting an elliptical so that I could increase my cardio. I wear a fitbit to track my steps but I definitely need more!

Cardio is a major role, and thankfully for High school sports or else id be a pretty chubby boy! Playing every sport in High school, had helped my body really stay active and healthy from being over weight. I enjoy to run for sun and play several outdoor activities with friends and family. I also enjoy hiking, swimming and working out.

Surprisingly ever since I’ve come to college I have been more diligent with exercising, especially with cardio. I enjoy running, especially with friends and family. Every time there is an opportunity I would sign up for a 5k race. So far I have done 4 in my first year of college, and two of them including the last one, was in the rain. I am slowly trying to improve my time which started at off at 30min to now 24min 5k race. My goal is to reach 15min 5k.

I am not doing as much as I am supposed to but I really enjoy playing badminton and hiking with friends. I try to walk to school instead of driving everyday, not only getting my steps but also saving gas! But I really appreciate the time that I am able to be active and get my heart rate up. The time that I am able to spend with my friends and staying active after a busy week of studying and work is so precious. I am glad that I am able associate exercising with something I enjoy and therapeutic.

This is my cousin and I running at our local YMCA. We try to go often, but sometimes we are busy at different times. We enjoying running a mile some nights and if we are feeling up for it we run two or three. I think it is important to maintain trying to stay in shape and I've been doing better about staying active than I used to be. He helps motivate me to stick to the gym because sometimes I really just do not want to go. I hope to continue doing this each week and maybe even start going more than I normally do.

I haven’t been able to workout much this week due to work life. As a nurse I’m usually walking a lot through out the day, so I get my daily exercise in when I’m working! I’ve been trying to teach myself how to meditate and stretch to help relieve my daily stress. It’s hard to workout everyday but I try my best while eating right and drinking enough water.

Well I’m still in High School so it’s been a lot easier for me to try to stay in shape and workout. I play volleyball, basketball, and weights 3 years in high school. I prefer to work out with people who motivated me and also work out. Not a big fan of when you’re working out with people and they just don’t want to do anything! Working out for me is important in order to keep my self in shape and not struggle with my asthma. As my friend had mentioned in her post that we lift 6th hour and work hard. I have really enjoyed it this year that we are in the same weight ms class and the only girls in there. The only thing we do differently is the way we work our abs and we still motivated each other. Hopefully we can continue this once we are out of high school.

I typically workout a lot more than I do now.
With classes, my regular job and my business i barely have time for fitness. The time that i do have I want to spent just chilling out not doing much. I get a lot of my fitness in by walking. I walk to and from the grocery store and pretty much all of my small errands. This is the path that i walk to and from work everyday. Its along the river so the scene in nice.
Im normally walking very fast so that gets my heart racing.
I typically like to do hot yoga at core power. Its called sculpt and its a vinyasa flow with light weights.
When I have time at home there's a gym in my building thats super convenient!

Today I completed my workout at one of my favorite places. It is a group workout and it includes rowing and heavy lifting. It’s about a 45 minute class but every time I go I feel accomplished and so exhausted. I enjoy doing classes as a group with an instructor teaching. It keeps me driven. It makes me push myself ten times harder than I would if I worked out alone. I like not having to think about what I’ll do that day for a workout because all I have to do is show up to this workout. I work at a hospital 3 days a week. The other 4 days you can find me completing this workout. It’s a great stress reliever. And honestly I enjoy working out and pushing myself. I love knowing I am capable and I can do hard things. My body was made to do hard things.

This week, I went on a strenuous hike with my friends. It was fun, although hard, because we got to see the waterfall at the end and even swim in it. I like going on hikes because where I go to school, it is an easy access and all-inclusive activity. There are many beautiful trails wherever you go, some easy and some hard, but it never usually feels like a chore as exercise sometimes does. YAY HIKES.

Morning Stretching and Toning: Nutrition and Fitness

# data[].attributes.body
Good Morning; Each and every morning I stand in my workout space and do Muscle Stretching, Strengthening and Flexibility from a standing position.  I do more standing weight bearing and bending and stretches.  I have some physical disabilities that enable me to due full strenuous exercises, however I do the best to get my toe touch, knee bending, side to side stretches and squats in each morning.  Some mornings, if this old body allows I will walk or go the exercise room and do more treadmill, stationary cycle and weights.  I am all of 120 lbs. so burning calories is not by goal.  I work more on muscle strengthening, cardio and toning my muscles.  Overall most of my fitness is done in this room consisting of mainly standing in place and floor exercises, not to forget my 2 bottles of water on self behind me for hydration.

Generally, I don't like exercising. I remember one time my husband registered us in the gym and I ended up not going even for a single day because I believe that am fit and all I do is an hour walk every evening with my son. This has been my routine for over 5 years now but since I had my second baby two months, unlike my sons birth where I didn't add so much baby fat, this time have added too much weight. Apart from the baby fat, I believe much of my weight is from my diet and not being active. I have been consuming too much carbohydrates and sugars. I went to the store two weeks to get a new dress and realised that I couldn't fit in my regular size dress rather I got sie 14. this really got me thinking and I decided to work on my weight. I have reduced the amount of carbs and added sugars. in addition, I have been jumping the rope twice a day 50 in the morning same in the evening, doing 20 press-ups and 10 sit-ups. It's not been easy but I have to do it for the sake of my health. my husband has been so supportive and makes sure I exercise in the morning before he lives for school and my son always remind me to jump in the evening. I intend to continue this even after I resume work.

I have an office job, so I sit most of the day. I try to get in as many steps as I can throughout the day, but it’s usually no where close to my goal. When I get home in the evening I help take care of the animals so that seems to get me a little closer to my goal.

Hello guys! I have a desk job,so for most of my day I sit at a desk and stare at a computer. It's not a very active job but I make do. During breaks and also the occasional times I have to go up to the floors, I try to take the stairs rather than the elevator. My breaks are 15 minutes long and i get 2 sometimes 3 breaks a day. Which is atleast 30 minutes of cardio a day.

Good morning, as you guys can see I am still in high school, and I love to play sports! Playing sports is one of my passions, It keeps me in shape. I like to maintain my body in shape. I also lift weights, I have a lifting class 6th hour! My friend Stacey and I lift hard everyday except when we have games! After I am done lifting I usually do AB workouts, because I wanna keep my flat stomach. I love exercising , a lot of people think I am weird because I like too. If I don't lift or workout I don't feel complete. I can tell my body isn't happy with me. My friend and I squat 295 pounds, but we usually do legs one day and arms another day. Thank you!
By the way I am #0.

Going to the gym is not really my thing. Exercising outdoors is by far more exciting and not to mention you save money.  There are many beautiful hike on island getting cardio while seeing Gods beautiful creation beats the indoors of a gym any day.  Grateful for this homework assignment because a hike is overdue.

It’s hard packing all my littles up and getting to the gym, so lately I’ve been exercising at home. About a month ago, I heard about a youtube channel called Fitness Blender from a friend. It has various full length workout videos that I do in my living room. There is a short window when my two younger children are both napping and I can get some exercise in without constantly having to stop to change a diaper or fill up a bowl of cheerios. A lot of the time when I go to the gym, if I’m not doing a class I feel lost because I’m not sure how to work a lot of the machines or correctly use the weights. The videos on Fitness Blender give a short demo with all of the exercises and you can choose whatever level you feel comfortable with. I highly recommend the channel if anyone is interested! This is a picture taken right after a workout. Often my oldest is awake and will join me with his own rendition of each move. He finds it amusing when I agree to do some exercises with him in this carrier (which he’s way too big for). I guess he will be my 34 lb weight for now. - Jenna Noel

Weight lifting is my favorite type of exercise. I weight lift 4-5 days a week and mix in a variety of endurance exercises. I mostly get excited when I'm able to see physical changes and when my maxes increase.

Bike rides are one of my favorite ways to get outside and get some exercise. I don't particularly enjoy going to the gym much anymore, but it is starting to get cold here in PA so looks like I'll have to soon.

Conference days are no joke!!  This was my “slowest” day!

Aunt life has had me completing cardio this week! Between help care for two labradors, a 20 month old, and a week old baby, I have been running all over the house and town. The dogs especially love going for walks, but the 20 month old loves to be pushed in her tricycle.

Cardio? These kids keep me moving all day I'm on my feet and chasing them down!  But I also walk my dogs after work for a mile.

When I exercise, I really enjoy using weights. I usually start out with a 1-2 mile run to get my cardio in and then I hit the weights. I focus on one body group each day. Arms, legs, may incorporate abs in with those body groups. Being an athlete in high school, I have learned how to push myself to work harder. One thing is that I wish I could work out more than I do now which is only 2-3 times a week. I feel like I am not making any progress on my body but maybe once life slows down a little bit, I will be able to make more time for my fitness.
