You could always get like a thigh master or something like that to do while
grexing.....
I think if you really looked hard you would find a form of exercise that you
enjoyed. Remember exercise doesnt have to be doing arobics, lifting weights,
or any other form of working out. Exercise can just be going for a walk,
maybe try rollerblading. For me I really enjoy running, I can go out and run
5 or 6 miles and have a good time while I am exercising....
Think about it!!!!!

How about this? Outfit an exercycle with a keyboard and a monitor. Pedal
away and grex while you are burning calories and building muscle tone. (Could
we sell this?)

Sweat and keyboards don't mix... :-) I ride an exercise bike and listen
to NPR's morning report 3X/wk. Food for the brain while I'm burning up
calories.

I need to exercise to reduce my insulin levels while I'm pregnant. But, I
never have time, or I'm too tired, or in pain from backache.
Just excuses.
I am going to try to use the new gym at work...free equipment!
And the exercycle in my bedroom...
I'm just lazy & hate pain & discomfort.

Aerobics classes are pretty good for motivation and reducing boredom. If you
get into a school system (like Ann Arbor's Rec & Ed) you usually get in a
class with a bunch of other newbies, so no heavy "competition". Usually
people are happy to see other people working out, even if they aren't very
good yet.
I personally can get a bit sore from working out, but it's better than not
working out... I used to have some annoying problems/weaknesses that are now
gone.

Valerie, you expressed my sentiments to a "T". Those are all the reasons I
dont excersize. But I am giving some serious thought to changing my behavior
even though I feel the way you do.

Hook up your power to the exercize bike and you'll be motivated to keep going
so you don't lose your grex connection, heh ;)

(The first step in a good exercise program is to learn how to spell
"exercise".)

Valerie, exercise does not have to mean "working out". The things you
mentioned about parking and stairs really do add up. Try a book on tape in
a portable player while walking or biking. How far do you live from the
Arboretum? Could you power-walk to the GrexWalk and use the stroll to cool
down?
Pain from exercise most often results from lack of proper warm-up/cool-down
and stretching.
Sounds to me like you might benefit from a yoga program (taught one-on-one
or in a small group) since part of the idea is to relax and quiet the mind.
Eeyore has a good point, too. Having an exersice "buddy" forces you to
schedule time for activity, and discourages the "ahhh...skip it" demon.

Since I exercise after work, my huge excuse is, "But I'm tiiiiired". To keep
me motivated, I keep a countdown to when I see Jerod next and a picture of
my friend Amanda next to the TV downstairs (where I Firm). Always pick
something that's fun, too. I look forward to swimming and walking, so it
doesn't feel like exercise. Good luck Valerie!

I have a serious question that I wrote last night but grex crashed during
the typing so don't know if it got in but it is important to me
I have been lifting weights about 50-over 60lbs 10-6-5 and curl 10lbs and some
arobic exercise..I am 43 years old..and my period has gone on for over two
weeks..not a heavy flow nor a light flow and medium size clots...
I had gotten some used weight equipment recently and i noticed when i lifted
with my legs laying on my back I lifted 176lbs pushing against the bar..and
I felt a heavy clot pass...is it the weight lifting? or age? The doctor had
found my uterus enlargedsome time back and I was checked for pregnancy and
had an ultrsound.all negative...any idea?...thanks

Hmm. I have terrible ankle problems, so running and aerobics are out of the
question for me. I prefer exercise wher eI don't realize I'm exercising!
I like swimming ok but the pool at my university is far for me to drive, and
I will lose access to it in May when I garduate. Any suggestions?

Check out local community stuff, like in the public schools.

You could also work on strengthening your ankles so you can do aerobic
walking, low impact workouts, etc. Biking is also pretty easy on the ankles,
relatively.

odakim: i'd talk to your doctor again...it may just be the excersice, or even
nothing at all....i know that i have the strangest periods, and i've just
gotten used to it....were you already using the weights when your period
started?
