I am into jogging myself and have been for years. However, I don't have a treadmill so I have to miss my workout due to the weather. </p> http://babyboomersus.net/topic/fitness#post-201 Thu, 29 Sep 2011 14:30:37 +0000 debv54 201@http://babyboomersus.net/ <p>I go to the gym and spend 30 minutes each on the elliptical, treadmill and various machines. I seem to be treading water as far as getting in shape is concerned and wonder if there's something I'm missing. Thanks for the link, I'll check it out. I lust after an XBox 360 with Kinect so I can try the Zumba workout. Has anyone tried that ? </p> http://babyboomersus.net/topic/fitness#post-104 Thu, 09 Dec 2010 19:59:42 +0000 Banjo Steve 104@http://babyboomersus.net/ <p>I figure that the best health insurance plan is the plan to do what needs to be done to stay healthy. And that my first responsibility to my family is to maintain my health. I don't have to keep up with the marathon runners, but doing nothing is not a smart option. Good luck to you all. Keep on moving! </p> http://babyboomersus.net/topic/fitness#post-30 Wed, 03 Feb 2010 10:18:05 +0000 Joe 30@http://babyboomersus.net/ <p>Eva,<br /> I only know that I used to run track in school and now I can barely walk up the stairs. &lt;img src=&quot;http://babyboomersus.net/my-plugins/pb--bb-smilies/default/icon_cry.gif&quot; title=&quot;:cry:&quot; class=&quot;bb_smilies&quot; /&gt; <br /> I've been making a concerted effort to do more walking, a little at a time. I can't wait til spring and maybe make it all the way around the block! &lt;img src=&quot;http://babyboomersus.net/my-plugins/pb--bb-smilies/default/icon_wink.gif&quot; title=&quot;:wink:&quot; class=&quot;bb_smilies&quot; /&gt; </p> http://babyboomersus.net/topic/fitness#post-28 Tue, 02 Feb 2010 16:11:53 +0000 Eva Pasco 28@http://babyboomersus.net/ <p>Beautygrl,</p> <p>You're absolutely right. For years I'd been an avid jogger, then switched to working out on the elliptical trainer. The impact is too jarring as our cartilage wears and we haven't the cushion we used to.</p> <p>Eva Pasco<br /> Author, UNDERLYING NOTES </p> http://babyboomersus.net/topic/fitness#post-26 Mon, 01 Feb 2010 13:26:16 +0000 FitnessOver50 26@http://babyboomersus.net/ <p>I work with a trainer for 3 months and then 3 months off.</p> <p>Using the trainer helps me to keep a program together that works for me.</p> <p>I am actually getting stronger and able to do more exercises with greater intensity.</p> <p>Peter<br /> FitnessOver50 </p> http://babyboomersus.net/topic/fitness#post-24 Wed, 27 Jan 2010 15:04:58 +0000 Joe 24@http://babyboomersus.net/ <p>Hey Beautygrl,<br /> Thanks for the link, I think they may be a little easier on my hips since I can't run (and barely walk sometimes).<br /> Gotta check out more. </p> http://babyboomersus.net/topic/fitness#post-23 Wed, 27 Jan 2010 14:19:43 +0000 Beautygrl09 23@http://babyboomersus.net/ <p>Hey boomers,</p> <p>Just wanted to talk about how your fitness routine has changed. I'm a health nut, but I can't keep up with my old routine (too hard on the knees). I've turned to fitness videos; my favorites are by Mirabai Holland, called Moving Free. They're great--I never feel too sore in the morning, and there's no stress on my joints. Check her out at <a href="http://www.facebook.com/pages/Moving-Free/174976698070?ref=ts" rel="nofollow">http://www.facebook.com/pages/Moving-Free/174976698070?ref=ts</a> if you're lookin' for a good workout!</p> <p>What's your fitness routine now that we're gettin' old and gray? </p>
