Getting fit!
« on: June 02, 2010, 07:40:46 PM »
I am starting water aerobics tonight - going with a couple of friends - all of us for the first time. My friend bought me a new towel so I'm all set.  ;D

This got me thinking - what do you do to keep fit?

I'm so jealous. I'd love a new towel.

That is one thing about men eh. Blokes tend not to buy other blokes towels even if they are good buddies.

Peeps idea of getting fit.. walking 2 miles each day from his house to the pub!

I like the idea of keeping fit, as long as it doesn't involve any form of exercising. Too lazy to do that kind of thing :)

Good on you Dianne, keep it up!

Calories out > calories in

I would think a four mile walk would more than make up for a small glass of sherry.

Diane - do you remember that slogan, "Drink Canada Dry"? I would have tried it!

Anyway, back to the subject. You make a good point, Diane. I can't remember Roger ever buying me a towel.

My friend found a site where you punch in your weight and activity and they tell you how many calories you burn: http://www.healthstatus.com/calculate/cbc

What is interesting is they even give you credit for playing cards and brushing your teeth!

The good thing is that the heavier you are, the more calories you burn.  ;D  Just off to do the exercise bike, weights and sit-ups.  Smug old bat, do I hear you muttering ,,,?

Friend and I would be doing a sponsored type walk on the beach on Saturday, with pink pancakes at a restaurant at the finish, but it looks like an all weather gear kind of day with the possibility of getting extremely wet and muddy and the odd rogue wave creeping up the sand.  We'll see - the pancakes are very tempting.

It's for the Breast Cancer Foundation, hence the pink.  The run/walk along the beach is just a precursor to raising awareness of four men doing a run across the Simpson Desert.  The 'boys' dress in red budgie smugglers and pink gumboots.  ;D

Unfortunately, we won't be going as Elaine has to work and the weather is not set to improve.  Today was atrocious - very grateful to another friend who drove me in for treatment.
