Snowmom Posted March 15, 2011 Share Posted March 15, 2011 I'm sorry I didn't get in here yesterday, but, Oldpine had an appointment at the dr. Here are some things that count for miles. These are as you can count them, 1 mile will = one mile. ********* This will be counted as 1/2 hour = one mile These will be one mile for each hour. ********* will be down and up 10 times = one mile ******** These will be 30 minutes = one mile ******** You will have to be the judge of these. We have been counting 1 hour as a mile, but, sometimes it isn't so. Therefore, I'm letting you be the judge of these. ************ Here are my totals: Walking 5 Riding bike 20 Stairs 2 Dishes 1 House Work 1 Laundry 1 Shopping 3 Other 2 Total.......... 35 miles. YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Ok, who will be ??? ********* Who is going to join us? Anyone who wants to start exercising or walking or whatever, count your miles and add them up this week and post them next week when either Momo or I make the walking post. It will be Spring soon.

Amishway Homesteaders Posted March 15, 2011 Share Posted March 15, 2011 Well it looks like I will be joining you all this week as far as the walking part. Seeing I can't Farm, chop firewood,dig in garden, carry ANYTHING,etc. It looks like I will be doing a lot of short walks so I don't swell up and get fat just sitting around snacking all day. :sHa_sarcasticlol:LOL Link to comment

Amishway Homesteaders Posted March 16, 2011 Share Posted March 16, 2011 well seeing most of mine is walking ,trying at least 1 mile each day sometimes I go for 2 miles before coming home. But I am getting winded just walking as I keep forgeting to take deep breathes seeing it hurts but with the brase on I can walk more. Then whenever I can I (and 1 cat) walk back and forth though the rooms on the first floor of my home- can do maybe 10 trips while water is boiling for tea. 20 if I am cooking. Then most days I do that 2 or 3 times just to stay loose. So IF you can't get out there and workout try little things but you do need to do some for more then 15 minutes to get any real benifites, Get that heart rate up and then keep going. So for me this week: walking-7 miles cleaning house - 3 miles sitting around doing nothing - 0 not sleeping very well - 0 Picking up lamb and cracking ribs - minus 10! So I guess for me that adds up to NOTHING gained but I fell good anyway. LOL Link to comment
