@Kimleigh what’s your routine? What’s your step goal?

Fitbit ladies?

I got an Apple Watch for my bday.

I have one too, love it. I had the Fitbit prior

I keep breaking everything. Broke a couple Fitbit’s. Broke an Apple Watch. So I put myself on time out. Now I have another. We shall see how this works out

@Brianna_38 Thank you so much for sharing this! You aren’t hijacking the thread at all. I’d love to hear more if you are interested in sharing.

It seems I don’t really meditate unless I’m already in a painful state—work stress, relationship issues, etc. I want to make meditation part of my daily routine rather than only when I’m already in a desperate place mentally.

Looking forward to learning more.

I hit my steps. I drank my water. I ate well.
Monday check in.

Great job!

@Kimleigh is still kicking my ass.

LOL I try! (I didn't know you could tag others until you tagged me here! Cool!!)

@Kimleigh what’s your routine? What’s your step goal?

Step goal is the standard 10,000. I do HIIT classes every single morning, so I start my day with 3,000-5,000 steps depending on the workout. I try to get a 30 minute walk in either at lunch or after work. All depends on the weather... I'm a fairweather walker!

Fitbit ladies?

Yep, still have a fitbit. I almost switched to an Apple Watch... but I'm a simple gal. lol

10,000 is my goal too. I used to crush that so easily but now my job has changed and I’m not on my feet as much so I need to put in effort and time to make sure I reach my goal.

Is there a steps/swim tracker that links with apps but isn't a mini phone on my wrist? I had to get rid of my Samsung watch as it didn't help with my anxiety but I miss the exercise tracker.

There are a lot of them. I liked my Fitbit. I like my Apple Watch. I have friends who love their Garmin. I’d do some research to see which features you want most.

 

[Kimleigh]

Same, I'm at a desk all day long so that early morning gym time then lunch or after work walk is a must. Hell, sometimes when everyone else is gone from the office, I do laps in the office! lol I call it my 15 min break!

Ok I need to widen my search then. Thanks for the reminder!

i use a garmin. forerunner 235 which is about the lowest cost one you can get (maybe $200) but it works great. tracks everything, provides your heart rate, sleep stats, is good for swimming, biking, running, walking, whatever. ive had mine for maybe 3 years and like it alot. it links to an app on the phone so you can see all your info there but you dont need the phone to use it. it WILL give you text messages if you want, but i never turn that on.

If I could afford it, I'd get the Oura ring (I don't like wearing things on my wrist):
Oura ring activity tracker

Ooh that looks neat

 

[mortis]

I was looking at a whoop great data not too big. I just can’t justify the monthly cost.
I love seeing sleep patterns and heart rate variation.
Gym yesterday was legs and shoulders.

Also use a Garmin vivoactive. This was one in went with as has golf course yardage too, plus all the fitness and heart rate and sleep tracker. It has a swim tracker but honestly that the one fitness area I have never tested. Had mine almost 3 years and works great minus battery wears little faster and charge at least everywhere day but it is fast charging.
I keep text widget off too, but love I can control music simply from my watch by skipping songs/seeing song titles etc even while tracking a walk or run.

BUT I have actually only tracked two runs in the last 3 months... have worked hard to not compare to my old self. I loved your posts too @Brianna_38. I also am trying to find the balance of having a plan but doing what my mind and body need. This morning, all the yoga and stretching after lots of full body fun yesterday.

My swim this morning was much easier and I felt really good about it/me/my day. About 3 hours ago I had the biggest emotional crash I've ever felt, so I guess I'm going to the pool again tomorrow

That should be a for the swim, but a or for the emotional crash… DMs are open if you need to talk

I hate the heart eyes.

Agree, it should just be a

Sending you a big hug. I hope your day got better.

Congrats on the swim. That’s awesome

Alright, bouldering left me aching and unable to do much with my upper body for a week-ish, but I'm back to the pullups and am still at a max of 6, which feels good.
The daily cycling continues, even in a little bit of drizzle. The downpours forecast haven't materialised, so I've been able to keep it up.
I only started taking any of this seriously about when the pandemic began (specifically when @AveryElle sent me an exercise video to check out, and I tried to keep up with the instructor, oh man that was a rough one!), and it's interesting to look back at what I've tried, and how much fitter and stronger I've got in the meantime. I still look exactly the same, though

No way. You’re a buff sexy muscle freak - yum yum!

I’m walking my ass off taking my daughter on college tours.

Today I will wear the proper shoes.
