Mad Jack Posted December 24, 2014 Share Posted December 24, 2014 I try to get down to the gym at least once a week during the winter to spend about an hour or so on the treadmill walking, but sometimes I get there three times in a week and sometimes not at all. Walking outside during the winter with my bad leg isn't really an option, as usually two or three times every winter I walk out my front door and my leg immediately pulls a Tin Man on me, resulting in me falling down my front stairs... During the warmer months, I can walk around my neighborhood, which I try to do almost every day after work for half an hour unless I have to run errands or something, and about an hour a day on the weekend. One turn around my block is .4 miles, and I live on a hill with my house roughly in the middle of my road so it's a very short flat, turn right onto a short very steep incline, turn right onto a longer mild incline, then turn right onto a short steep dowhill which turns right again back onto the short milder downhill at the other end of my road. It's a good workout, especially if I'm pushing the pace. I try to do two miles a day during the week and five on the weekend. I really need to start doing tai chi and stretching again. (I think I've spent more time reading books about tai chi than actually doing it, lol.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mad Jack Posted December 24, 2014 Share Posted December 24, 2014 (edited) The difference is that you've actually gotten off yer butt and learned karate - I know like three tai chi positions, lol. Edited December 24, 2014 by Mad Jack 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

klarg1 Posted December 24, 2014 Share Posted December 24, 2014 I'm pretty bad at keeping up with exercise. About the only thing I keep up with at all is trying to walk 20+ miles per week. (and it's still not 100%) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Qwyksilver Posted December 24, 2014 Share Posted December 24, 2014 Question 39: What do you do for exercise? Being a father of little ones and a teacher at a school with stairs seems to do the trick. This. Plus I coach two soccer teams. One year round. Keeping up with a team of active 8-10 year old girls is a challenge. I also swim and bike not as often as I would like. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redambrosia Posted December 24, 2014 Share Posted December 24, 2014 I used to walk and bike all the time. Then my bike got destroyed (dang if I remember how) and I moved somewhere too far away from everything to walk to everything. Now I'm made of squish and shortness of breath. I don't like it much. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cameoex Posted December 24, 2014 Share Posted December 24, 2014 Q38- I've cut myself several times with xacto knives, files, blunt sculpting tools. Poked myself in the eye with my brush, dipped a brush into salsa (a kolinsky brush....still a trooper though). Eye sight went to udder poop for awhile but that was due to poor lighting conditions. Q39: WTH is exercise? It sounds painful and very strenuous. When I was younger, bike riding was heavily HEAVILY my thing. I can't imagine my chubby self on a bike now so I'll walk or...jog as well as my disability... Allows for me to. Running? Hah...hah...no. Never again. I've wanted to give yoga a try though. I'm used to doing tai chi for six days a week and it was quite nice. There aren't any great places locally that do it though.

Moderator Chaoswolf Posted December 24, 2014 Moderator Share Posted December 24, 2014 Q38: I have cut myself so many times with an ex-acto knife that my wife now requires me to keep a supply of band-aids/bandages in my hobby area so that I don't leak blood all over the place. The worst time I cut myuself was when I was 14 or 15. I was cutting something on a wooden cutting board (see, I'm being safe!) that was on my lap (ok, maybe not). The blade slipped, totally missed the board and I buried it in into my right knee. I got a cut around an inch long. Both of my folks were at work and I figured that neither one would be pleased at having to leave early to bring me to the hospital for stitches, so I cleaned the wound myself and put some butterfly stitches on it. Q39: I spend a fair amount of time walking at work, it averages out to 2-3 miles per day. I really should try to do some more, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My sewing area is like that. The number of times I have put needles through my fingers in creative directions is not small. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
