I was just curious as to how much daily exercise everyone is getting. I’m roughly walking between 5-8 miles a day, I work at a hospital and there is always somewhere to go.

Cross fit 5 times a week and walk the dog

I recently stepped mine up because I had a slight gain over the holidays. I'm doing weights 2x a week and cardio 3-4x a week (usually Water aerobics or some kind of dance cardio - like Zumba or WERQ. Although I've even done 30 minutes on the stationary bike when I'm not in the mood to do anything else. Anything is better than nothing...)

I've got knee issues et al. So I'm happy if I can get 5000 steps in, and that is at a dog walking, smelling the flowers pace. Come summer I'll be kayaking and swimming.

I am all over the place. Some weeks I walk 4-5 miles almost every day. Last weekend I walked 10 miles and 14 miles (Sat/Sun). I haven't walked since then. This weekend I will do some more really long walks, but I do hope to walk more during the work week. My daughter can't drive to her after school activities since She doesn't have her drivers license, and it is hard to get my workouts in every day like I would like to. She gets her license next month though so I am excited. At that time I hope to go back to doing Pilates at least twice a week. Those classes are 45-60 minutes and I tend to walk a couple miles afterwards. I am not doing weights or anything right now. I MAY try to join a Zumba class, if I can get through it without my heart rate getting too fast like it has in the past.

Every day: at least 10,000 steps, 30 flights of stairs (increasing as I work toward a Grand Canyon hike), 150 wall pushups, leg exercises, upper body weights, and stretching.

Every week: 40-50 miles of biking, 15-25 miles of hill hiking (increasing monthly), elliptical machine on days I cannot hike or bike due to weather or darkness. Will start back with swimming next month as I train toward a triathlon in March.

I work full time as a nurse, and am on my feet all day, every day. I also have a large garden and livestock, so I am always digging or shoveling one thing or another.

I wish I had half the energy some of you guys have! I watch my two grandsons ages 3 and 1 five days a week. After that I enjoy long sits on the couch instead of long bike rides or hikes 🤣 You guys are doing great!

I have shredded menisci (both knees) but I still try to exercise as much as I can without my knees locking up or overwhelming pain. I love to exercise, but at 66 yrs old I can't do it every day like when I was younger.

Cardio: I power walk (16 min/mi) for 1-1.5 hrs every other day.

Weight training, upper and lower body: 45-60 min. every other day.

1 hour walking the dog at the very least 4 times a week (often before going to work). I do this more for my head than my body to be honest.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
