What exercise have you done today?

Are you able to exercise?

(Any form of physical activity counts!)

Yes, I did a bit of walking today. Total distance maybe 4km.
I used to run/jog more but this winter I've cut back significantly.

I take a 1-hr martial arts class 4 days a week. I try to also train for an hour a day on the days there are no classes.

Nicely done! Especially when the weather outside is cold.

Impressive - both the martial arts and the additional training that you do! Like Rocky.

It’s cold and rainy here but I plan to walk outside with my pups later today.

Next month I’ll have access to a treadmill and elliptical again. I like using exercise equipment because I can zone out while I do it. No need to watch where I step or worry about traffic.

I completed my walk today. It stopped raining. I may even be able to make time for another walk later.

I feel so much better for it.

Thanks

I did Kenpo as a child, boxing as a teenager, Pencak Silat as a young adult, and currently taking northern shaolin kung fu. Had another class tonight.

Wow! You have the skills to be a super hero!

I walked outside again for 30 min. I am doing the bare minimum these days.
I expect results in my professional life.

I do not like living where I live - well the weather specifically.
It will be -27 tomorrow morning and -29 on the weekend.
Brutally cold.

I'd like to have a stationary bike to do that inside. Even though I live close to a gym, I have lacked motivation to go there and do it.

I really resent exercising these days because I know I have nothing to prove. I've been rigorous about exercise throughout my life. Since turning 40 I've just cut back. I've felt that I don't have to prove anything to myself.

I feel I deserve a professional breakthrough and if this comes I'll be more motivated to exercise more seriously.

Exercising just to stay healthy when I am not seeing meaningful results in my life seems futile and I lack motivation for it.

LOL I dunno about that - but I have learned some cool stuff. I'm pretty handy with sticks and knives and machetes, and can do a few flashy things with a chinese broad sword. Right now in kung fu I'm learning how to handle a staff. My dad has been into martial arts for most of his life, so I naturally got exposed to it at an early age. It helps me in many ways - concentration, discipline, balance, coordination, flexibility, stamina, etc. I enjoy the skill and dedication it takes to get really good at something. My current teachers are pretty amazing, and I feel lucky to be learning from them.

I enjoy exercise. I like to lift weights at the gym. The gym I go to has nice lighting. Reds and blues. It’s like being at a disco, sort of.
