BBdoodle 483 Posted June 4, 2013 I exercise in the morning as well... it starts my day off on the right foot. Consider a treadmill as well so you don't miss a workout when the weather is bad or too hot. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MissNikki27 54 Posted June 4, 2013 I'm going to try going out in the morning. Just for 20 minutes to do the couch to 5k challenge. I could do this in addition to my refular workout routine. I want to really step it up. I know that I will be out of commission right after surgery....so I figure I'd better get my head start in now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rem 87 Posted June 4, 2013 Thats great! Enjoy your walk! I did 15 minutes on the elliptical, 10 minutes on treadmill, and another 15 minutes on the elliptical at the gym this morning! My first week back to the gym. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Will this be your first 5k ? You'll do great on both ,good luck! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

norasinclair 19 Posted June 4, 2013 I exercise in the morning as well... it starts my day off on the right foot. Consider a treadmill as well so you don't miss a workout when the weather is bad or too hot. I always workout in the mornings but especially now that I'm here in Texass , I'll be walking as soon as first light comes because it gets for freaking. Hot and humid down here, if I'm can't finish and be back home by 9:00 I can't/won't do the miles I need to do to prepare me for the DFW race in Dec. for ill be out there 5:45am after I get the all's clear Friday from the Dr. I have a complete gym in my garage bike,treadmill, elliptical,vertex weight station ,free weights ,medicine balls, ,you name it i got it ,just with three inches of dust of it, it hasn't been used since my knees blew out back in 2010 I just love walking outside,it clears the mind and I forget just how far I've gone until I'm finished on the thread ill I'm constantly looking at the mile, calories burnt, it's a real distraction for me.

lirri 40 Posted June 4, 2013 My 11 year old let me know that she missed the bus this morning. I had already been thinking about walking her to school today and I got the chance. My fitbit tracked it at about .62 miles round trip. At 11 days post-op I was worried it may have been a little too far, but other than a little bit of stomach muscle soreness I was glad I got out and enjoyed the morning! 3 Chaser, karlam29 and MissNikki27 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
