Fitness Friday: Improvisation is a good thing

Fitness Friday posts every other Friday


Happy Friday and welcome to a long overdue Fitness Friday post.  The reason why improvisation is a good thing is because lately, that’s how my work-outs have been since last we chatted.  Due to my new puppy with a boo-boo, I’ve only been to the gym twice since January 15th.  This is not something I like, but it’s just the way it is right now.  Hence work-outs require improvisation.  For me that means trying to get walking into my day anyway I can.  I try to walk at lunch for 30 minutes if I can, and then possibly a 20 minute walk that gets me about half way home after work.  I try to get both walks in daily,  but I've had to work through lunch here and there the past few weeks.  L  Sucks for Jenny

There is light at the end of the tunnel though.  Boo-boo puppy is healing quite well, and her walks are getting ramped up to longer periods of time.  We are trying to get her to 3- 30 minute walks per day.  That’s what Mamma likes to hear!  When the weather gets even nicer I foresee even longer walks.  To make up for the lack of physical activity, I’ve been trying to eat better, but that’s 50-50 for me.  I have plans on visiting a nutritionist soon, and I am certainly looking forward to that.  So until then, I try to eat better, and sneak activity anywhere I can.

How have you been doing with your fitness since January?  Any tips you want to share?

Hey walking is a great way to improvise! I'm proud of you!

I've been doing stretches and hand weights while the baby naps and I watch Wendy Williams. LOL
I am on a hiatus from exercising due to my neck/shoulder/vertigo issues. It has been so frustrating as I want to get back to it so bad. It has been 5 weeks, but I will be patient as I want to heal. Glad the boo-boo is healing!
Keep up the good work Jenny :=)
Thats good the new puppy is feeling better.
Good job on the walking :) Do you have a workout video you can do at home?
I do that, and I go the gym straight after work 2 days a week.
I find if I come home from work, I never make it to the gym. The kids, the dog, hubby, the tv and my computer are all calling my name :)
Oh man. I totally fell off the wagon. Even with the counting of calories--though I have been trying to watch what I eat a little more closely (and have been doing a great job). Despite not having worked out in weeks, I weighed in this morning as the same.

And yay for boo-boo puppy! Glad to hear that Kona is doing so well. Next time a picture, huh? ;)
So happy to hear Kona improving and yay you for improvising. Way more productive than throwing the hands in the air and saying too hard (... oh wait that was me LOL)
Keep up the good work my friend :)

No fitness for me until we finish with this juice fast, although if this weather keeps up, I envision walks after work. It's too nice not to be outside!

I give you mucho props on the juice fast. �I know I couldn't do it.
You could take slow walks outside since the weather is fabulous. �Looking forward to hearing how well the juice fast turns out.
Have a great week Michelle.
Honestly, it really isn't as bad as you might think. I took the kids and dogs for a walk after work today. It was so wonderful just to get outside. I look forward to trying to run hopefully 30 pounds lighter by the time this is all done!
As someone who played an official showcase show this year I asked myself a lot of the same questions. Thanks for putting this out there
