Not any...I used to refer to exercise as the E-word. Not anymore. On November 1, 2012, I was diagnosed with osteoporosis and told I needed to incorporate weight-bearing exercise into my life. I asked the doctor if Curves would qualify. She said yes, so I got in my truck and drove straight to our Curves gym and signed up. I've been going three days a week ever since and recently celebrated my 500th workout. If anyone would have told me back then that I'd be grateful for the diagnosis, I would have laughed. But in a way, I am because it forced me to do something that's not only good for me but is, to my surprise and delight, also enjoyable.Keli Gwynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13236868298400593688noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4945907563318808519.post-7754387980756850522016-05-26T12:48:14.322-07:002016-05-26T12:48:14.322-07:00Oh, wow.

A new studio opened up near me. I also do pilates and Zumba. This summer I'm traveling a lot but thankfully Barre 3 has an online subscription to stream works on my devices. I find if I don't work out regularly, I'm grumpy, feeling gross, much more sore and my joints stiffen. Even just going for a long walk at night with the hubby helps.

Before I waited until seven in the evening to walk, but now with the air-conditioning, I'll do it between rounds of writing.Leann Harrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10840850473156676151noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4945907563318808519.post-81629858273283112172016-05-26T10:54:20.091-07:002016-05-26T10:54:20.091-07:00Leann, thanks for sharing your plans.

I don't want that. I used to walk, but now I do indoor walking/aerobics while I watch TV shows that I've recorded. This time of year in AZ, you have to get up too early to beat the heat. I don't mind doing tennis in the heat, but walking, not so much. I don't like exercising on equipment, but I really should do some weight lifting, too. I have a fitness tracker and try to get 12,000 steps each day. Most days I do meet my goal.Merrilleehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08617320163408645299noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4945907563318808519.post-24664537383983082762016-05-26T08:45:01.283-07:002016-05-26T08:45:01.283-07:00I don't like the gym, but husband does. For me...I don't like the gym, but husband does. For me, I walk my son to and from school, so I get a walk in twice a day. I love being outside, breathing the fresh air, and thinking through the next scene I'm going to write.
