I haven't felt great lately, but I just took 3.5 minutes off my best time on the middle 8 km of my standard 10 km walk, so I guess I'm okay after all. #exercise#walking#health
Inspired by @kcarruthers , I did a Zumba routine online. I lasted 15 minutes the first day. It was so confusing because of all the steps. I did the routine again yesterday and got to 20 mins. I’m going to keep going until I can do the full 30 mins 😊 It’s fun!#exercise

my network here is fairly small but this is worth a try.
Anyone in the Quincy, Massachusetts (US) area looking for a bike buddy? 20 miles or less as a rule (for now anyways). Slow pace for sure. I work a 9-5 schedule so best to.assume weekends...
Baled out after 4k. Tiptoe slow pace of 7:21 kms but HR crept into Zone 4 (156-175) and couldn’t get it down. Felt like running through treacle. Usually that’s Z3 pace (136-155). In 20 years I’ve never been able to run Z2 anyway (116-135) - that’s brisk uphill walking only! At age 51 my max HR easily hits 195 (220- age really is a load of old bunkum - that would put mine at 169 which is z4 mid anaerobic zone! Pish! But 4k is still 4k and we go again tomorrow #running#runchat#exercise
I opened up MyFitnessPal today... it seems I had both rapid weight loss AND rapid weight gain right after Thanksgiving. Either I REALLY need to watch it, or MyFitnessPal needs MyMathPal.
My latest #weightlossjourney results where I just keep hitting goals. Now at my lowest weight of 192.3 lbs (87.23 kg) down from 213 lbs (96.62 kg). 7.22 inches (18.34 cm) on my waist lost as well.
I cut almost all eating out except when at work, I cook salmon and chicken mostly with rice and dragon fruit. I take my supplements and exercise 1/2 hour minimum a day but try to shoot for an hour to an hour and a half.
Second up in my challenge to ride each of the first workouts for every #Peloton instructor is Cody Rigsby from back in 2019 (as far back as the archive goes) #CodyRigsby#exercise#fitness#cycling
Tai chi, a traditional, slow-moving form of Chinese martial art, is known to increase flexibility and improve balance. Now, new research suggests it's better than more vigorous aerobic exercises for lowering blood pressure in people with prehypertension.
'New research finds that undertaking structured dance of any genre is generally equal and occasionally more effective than other types of physical activity interventions for improving a range of psychological and cognitive outcomes.'
I avoided it for four years, but covid finally caught me.
Seeking advice from other active/athletic folks... how long did you wait post-covid to resume exercise?
Running is the main thing I'm worried about because of heart rate, but also climbing and weightlifting. I'll wait as long as I need to... my goal is to avoid long term health problems.
My current #weightlossjourney from 213 lbs to now under 195 lbs (88.45kg) and almost 7 inches (17.78 cm) on my waist lost in almost 53 days and haven’t worked out as much because of work and the puppy but swinging back into it. #exercise#weightloss#fitness#health
