Do you exercise everyday? If you do, what time of the day do you get your run or workout in???

[Colexis Mom]

I've been trying to this summer. I usually go for a run (2 miles) between 7 and 8 at night, depending how hot it is. Sometimes I'll also take the kids for a hike during the day.

I excersize 6 days a week (gotta have one rest day at least! ). It's been near 100 and humid every day here for the last several weeks, so running is out. I tried to go at 8 pm one night last week and still about died. (It was still 92 out ) Mostly I do aerobics DVDs at home. I do them usually between 10-11 am. Speaking of which, I gotta get to it!

[Fortissimo]

This is my summer schedule:
- bike in the mornings on Mon, Wed, and Fri for 30-40 miles.
- swim in the evenings on Mon and Wed and Sun afternoon for 90 minutes, which is usually 4,000 meters.
-Tues and Thurs we run (I wog cause running still doesn't work for me)
- Sat I bike for 30 minutes then wog for 45.

No, though I keep saying I have got to start

[HiddenMickey]

Not me. In good weather, I tend to do a two mile walk in the afternoon/evening. Lately it's been too hot. DH gets up around 6:15 and gets on the stationary bike for 1/2 hour each morning (weekends...he actually goes bike riding). Obviously, I need to find it in me to start being more like him.

Phew! A kindred spirit. That's me too.

I don't exercise every day, although I'm trying to do more. If I do anything, it's usually in the morning before I go to work.

It depends on the weather. Summer is finally here in So Cal, so I'm now walking my dogs around 6:00 a.m. (I get up at 5:30 to fix my husband breakfast before he drives to his office and I can't go back to bed once I'm up.)

We walk/jog a minimum of 5 miles each day including weekends. In cooler weather I do all my housework first (lots of swiffering and vacuuming with two big dogs) before we go out, usually by noon.

We live near the top of a hill so the second half of our daily excursion is all uphill. My dogs are great - they have memorized the exact points where we start running and where we start to walk. I'm not sure I could run the whole way back to the house.

About 3 times a week in the evening my husband and I take the dogs on a 'smell' walk. We leisurely walk down to my husband's gym (3.5 miles) and the dogs and I hang out at Starbucks while he works out. Then we slowly walk back up the hill, letting them sniff (and mark) as we go along.

Sadly, no

[Huntermom]

Not always by choice but my younger dog has to be walked or else. He is walked a mile or more each morning and afternoon and now we only do a short last walk of about a half mile in the evening. DD usually does the last walk if she is home -about half the time. My older dog is also walked 3 times a day, but for only a half mile. I walk them sun, rain, snow and sleet. One of my neighbors told me she didn't get another dog after hers passed because of how much she sees me walking. I figure I do at least three and a half to 4 miles a day.

I also walk a lot of stairs. My spring semester class required me to go up 120 stairs in a lovely brownstone. I actually did better than about half of my students. I also work on the second floor and seem to go up and down the stairs dozens of times each day.

Depending on the weather here. Usually I like to take my walks in the evening when it's much cooler outside than during the day, 3 - 5 days a week, 1 - 4 miles.

[MsPeggySue911]

I don't exercise but my husband works out in his home gym almost every day when he is in town from work and he works out every day when he is out of town working. I wish I could be less lazy and work out like he does. I am not in bad shape but we could always use more exercise just for general health purposes. I live a pretty sedentary life. I hate exercising.

[dwonderz]

I exercise six days a week. I go for a swim (45 min) everyday and every other day I do an exercise class/biking - spinning if it's bad weather - for about 45 minutes to an hour.

[EddieCVS]

I go to the gym Mon,Tues,Thurs,and Fri. I also walk between 4 to 6 miles about 4 days per week. I also do some exercise at home. I have a lower back injury and I am getting in better shape before I have surgery in September.
