For Your Brain: Just 15 minutes of movement is all it takes, it will lift your spirits and in turn make your thinking more effective.

Get up and move. Even short times all add up.

How many NWFA are joining in? I am hoping for lots of dry weather in Oct. The treadmill sucks.

This week as warm up -
Movement is mostly around the lab, get coffee, goto lunch, etc.
But, I also walk 30min or so as part of my lunch. It all adds up.

Mrs. Teflon and I have always walked and hiked a lot. She has an elliptical machine she likes and I have a weight bench with pulldowns and dumbbells. I ride a bike 2-3 times weekly too.

Her latest kick is some cardio/flexibility videos that we do together. Having never tried them, I assumed they might be sort of lightweight, but I've got to say they leave me sweating and panting. Keeps us on task, too. Breaks last 15 seconds and then it's on to the next exercise. The vids feature 2-3 people demonstrating different levels of intensity and impact. We're still doing the low-medium stuff, so there's plenty of room to improve.

Must be on the right track. It's always reassuring/positive to feel a little sore (or a lot) the next day doing projects around the house and yard.

I walk between 12 and 15 miles a day at work. Got permission to use a private gym at one of my buildings, just trying to work out the logistics of that in regards to my every day schedule.
Edit: step count since 8 am

 

[BBQ Guy]

90 minutes at the gym last night. Bi's and Tri's.
13 minutes on the treadmill for .88 miles.

I had a couple of buddies who did maintenance work, got that kind of distance in a 12-hour shift. 10 mi was pretty common. One has since retired, the other is "locked out" due to COVID shutting down his work place.


It all counts!

I am walking or standing for my entire shift (minus breaks) but I am going to keep that activity separate. I need some unpaid exercise to accompany my paid exercise

I just got back from another 3 mile loop, today's work is done. Our weight loss meetings are starting up again today. We had a hiatus during the summer months. I have to shower up so I don't stink for ladies

Edit: My calorie counting app says I have 700 calories left for today so another cup of joe is going down the hatch (45 calories in sugar free non-dairy creamer).
