I walk at least six times a week roughtly 6 klms, and do pilates. I use to do yoga, but for now I love physio pilates. Our council is finishing off a walk from the main beach, along the coast line, roughly 20klms of walking track. I believe excercise is the best way to keep a healthy mind and body. Oh my parents are in NZ at present, north and south island. Suzanne :) Hi Shelly, finally. heheheeh

I know about dogs and their pee-mail. Our little dog walks very slow and has to check every tree and pole on the way! Paz - ah, but you're very busy. We do what we can. Barbara - I can imagine the ice is very perilous. That was the part about snow in London that I didn't enjoy. It was great having a job where I just had to walk downstairs to get to work.

Now that there's a bit of ice on the walks and roads I have to be ultra careful as I have osteoporosis in my spine. When spring rolls around in April I have considered getting a bicycle to get more exercise. I walk when I can get out.

Walking in the park. Loved it. Would do it everyday, despite the weather. Now? Nothing. :sad: Paz When I had a different schedule, I used to exercise daily. Walking in the park. Loved it.

You know how it is, they have to check their pee-mail too. hehe We live in a little country neighborhood that has small farms and giant gardens. All of the animals know us and since we walk at about the same time every day, they know to expect us and wait at the fences. This is the best time for story building. So many ideas, brainstorming and plotting and it all comes together while walking. Mother Nature's effect is truly magic. :) I walk a mile or so every day with my little dog.

When I dance she just stands and stares. It's very unnerving! I watched the Youtube. That's actually quite a scary statistic. Wylie - I definitely think picking up toys counts as exercise!! Running after kids is very tiring. I get tired every time my nephews come over and I'm not even the one in charge of them. :grin: Julia – our dog is old and doesn’t jump around much unless there’s food involved these days.

I find if I can drag my butt out the door, I'm a happier person by the time I arrive back home. Leah - think of exercise as writing time and do some brainstorming or plotting at the same time. You'll be done before you know it. Jory - I'm the same way. I'm far more productive if I exercise. Susan – I definitely have days like that.

Other weeks, not so great. Except those weeks stretch to months. But doesn't running after a four year old all day qualify as exercise? And washing floors, and picking up toys (this one never ends) and gluing together art projects? Cleaning the cat litter SURELY counts cause there's bending and scooping and 'eww yukking' -- that's a real calorie burner! Some weeks I’m great – on the treadmill 3 x per week.

Mine, too! Actually, she thinks it must mean playtime and jumps around with me for awhile. It's hilarious. But she doesn't match my groove very well. In Canada we used to have something called Participation. Don't know if that's still going or not. When I was a kid the commercial showed a 60-year-old Swede out-running a 30-year-old Canadian man, which was a true statistic at the time.

In the winter I've got the treadmill for days it rains. I've noticed my ability to sit in front of a computer and productively write improves with bouts of physical activity--which helps motivate me to do it.
