Exercise is a big part of my life these days. It pays for itself in physical health benefits and I feel cognitive gains for sure. Things like reading are a lot easier for me after ramping up my exercise.

Im thinking of starting to jog. I currently lift weights every once in a while.
When i move to my new place i’ll be cycling to and from parents place and the local community centre.
Since i have a big field opposite my new place. I reckon ill lose a fair bit of excess weight. Currently around 82kilos. Hopefully go down to 70 kilos

I try and walk every day. But I only walk less than that. I don’t have a car, so it’s on foot to the supermarket and pharmacy. It’s a blessing in disguise

Exercise is difficult for me since my physical health declined. but I do my daily physical therapy exercises I’m working on relearning how to walk currently. It’s a slow process but I am improving so hopefully I will get full function back some day

I felt like that once. But these days I am feeling different. I have a week now been exercising and being active. I want to get back to where I was before I was last hospitalized. I was strong and fit and happy.

I’m still doing my precious yoga about 30 to 45 minutes, 4 to 5 days a week. And I go door to door proselytizing one day a week, for an hour, which involves a lot of stairclimbing. It all keeps me in fairly good shape. But I’m a true couch potato otherwise though.

I just started today. It took a lot out of me, not just physically.
Hopefully, I will be able to build up stamina.

We exercise a few days a week. The weather will be nicer soon and we’ll take long bike rides again.

I really miss prowling the town’s walking trails. Don’t feel like doing it in a nasty wind chill or when they’re covered with ice.

Yes, three days a week at a gym I belong to Have been going for the past 4 years and I maintained my weight except for here lately I have been hungrier and may have put on 5 pounds or so but nothing too significant that I can’t take off with some work. It makes me mad though I work so hard and have this set back of gaining some weight don’t like that but I won’t do diet pills I have in the past and lost a lot of weight but Psychiatric drugs and diet pills don’t mix I wasn’t on meds in the past for Mental illness so I could take them then. What does everyone else do on here if you gain weight on psych drugs I am on Metformin that’s supposed to be good for weight loss and maintaining weight been on it for maybe a year or so but haven’t lost anymore in the beginning I feel I have though lost with it.

I stopped about three months ago unfortunately.
I want to exercise but just can’t get myself to do it anymore.
I was doing pump (weight lifting) and spin.

I didn’t train for 9 days and my mood was really bad, today i forced myself back down to the gym, and had an instant kick of joy, the sadness is gone.

I’ve been walking down to the local parish and back (which takes a half hour total), for the last month. This has really been improving my stamina. I do this in addition to everything else.
