Do you exercise?

Do you exercise? If yes what things do you to elevate your heart rate? I am struggling to type today after doing a boxing session. This would be my third in my whole life. I am pretty fit and exercise daily. I am a member of a gym.

    I try to walk everywhere I can. That means the car stays at home and I walk. The shopping centre in 15 mins away, so I walk to do my errands. My husband thinks its the silliest thing that I leave the car at home.

    My way of exercising is taking stairs whenever I can!
    Just recently I’ve climbed a total of 14 times on a 7 story building for some charity event.

    My legs were so so sore for the next 4 days.

    But apart from stairs, I love to run too. Long distance running. It kinda empties out my mind too while I run which I thought it’s quite good.

    I’ve been sooooooooooo slack the last couple of months (I blame night shifts) but when I was going ham in the gym before that, I did HIIT cardio (which is a LOT more effort, but also a LOT quicker than normal cardio) and my weapon of choice was the stairmaster/step machine. Quickest and easiest cardio machine to elevate my heart rate.

    If I combine cardio and weights on the same day, I do cardio after my weights. Weights also tend to get up my heart rate, if you go heavy and intense enough. The problem with heart rate is that it kind of relies on what you put in more than on what you’re doing… I wish I didn’t have to put in the effort some days :-p

    I think an easy exercise for heart rate is also using the jump rope. I can’t do it because for some mysterious reason my bladder has betrayed me – I haven’t given birth and I’m only 31 but when I jump too often I am done with LOL

    I will go to the gym near my house once a week cause the crowd is too many and I really don’t enough the time to wait for the machine. So, basically, I’ll do some intense workout at home.

    I despise exercise so I need someone to push me. I see a PT twice a week and do a bunch of weights and some cardio. It’s hard but it’s good for me. I really like doing boxing… I should check out a class!

    I play basketball once a week and walk when I can

    I exercise about 3 times a week. I’m in a wheelchair with nerve damage and a brain injury, so my neuropsychiatrist and physios are hoping the exercise will help repair some of the brain damage. I’m really lucky as the gym I go to is specifically designed to help people with disabilities.

      Hello Ab.Cam.84
      So nice to hear that your gym is supportive, it must make it easier to go knowing you are supported and helped, and good on you for going 3 times a week.

    I just cycle to jobs all day, that’s it. I’ve been wanting to get into spin classes again with Bhodi and Ride maybe, and try boxing. My weight has ballooned the last few years, really need to keep it in check. Spinning is the best for thighs.

    I do classes at the gym most days. My favourite is Body Pump. Once you get into it and into a routine and start seeing results it can get quite addictive.

    I use the Leg Master for a minute a day. You need to start with 10 then work up by 5 per day. Great for your pelvic floor exercises.
