It's routine. The trick is making routine an essential part of existence. The trinity of routines for me is tea, out with the dog (I don't call it exercise in my internal thought process, and baking bread (which I do weekly, we don't buy it).
It is hard for anything to go wrong when you're drinking tea, baking or are out with the dog. (I've also heard it is hard for bad things to happen when your shoes are well polished, but, alas, most shoes are not the polishable kind any more.) I suspect it is also hard for bad things to happen when hula hooping aside from things that involve laughing.

Ooo, I don't know about that. Baking means having yummy things in the house which means I eat lots of them which means I get even bigger than I am. ![[Biased]](wink.gif)
But I did manage my 30 minute walk today. ![[Big Grin]](biggrin.gif)

Indeed go you! Your shipname reminds me of the some about 99 Balloons. Chasing them would be exercise for sure!
For those without a dog in real life, maybe there's a sad eyed phone app or something that can whimper while showing you a picture of a doggie carrying a lead, begging you to go out?

I volunteer at a local dog shelter. Get to take the pooches out for a walk, give them cuddles and feel great. Have one of my own now as well for 24hour cuteness. He's about 55kg and only 10 months though, so gives the arms a good workout too.

laughing for sure. I once was trying to do a trick where you work the hoop up to around your arms, accidentally shot the hoop far away and hit a passing car.
heh.
(chances are you get light bruising on your hips after the first day. but you toughen up quick. otherwise, nothing bad happens when hooping. promise!)

Did just over 10 miles this morning on my bike. My toe is still causing me some problems, but is getting better, just need to keep adding on some distance (oh and improve my speed!)

Well done SurfingMadness. Am toying with getting the bike out of it's winter hibernation, but weather appears to be sunny one minute, hailstones the next, so I just jump on the bus instead. Am a bit of a fair weather cyclist.

I ran to work this morning and actually kind of enjoyed it for the first time since before the bloody freezing happened - a bit over 6 km and boy I'd forgotten how long that hill is up Avenue Georges V...
I think we should compile a Point of the Exercise Cheesy ipod Playlist™ ![[Smile]](smile.gif)
I contribute Alice Cooper singing Poison but more importantly the absolute must is The Final Countdown. It is the POWER.

How are we all doing?
The hiking holiday in Scotland is booked (or it will be once the travel agent confirms that everything is available). So I now I need to get fit (it's an 80 mile hike in a week).
I am going to be going with parents en rouge (and the bank of Mum and Dad is paying ![[Yipee]](graemlins/spin.gif) ) so now I really need to be in shape to avoid getting shown up by two people thirty years older than me ![[Ultra confused]](graemlins/confused2.gif)

Talking about being shown up, I was doing a parkrun on Saturday and I was overtaken by a man pushing a buggy with a toddler in it.

When I was up north recently my brother and I walked a loop track and a runner coming the other way passed us 3 times! . I swear if he had come around again I would have tripped him up ![[Devil]](graemlins/devil.gif)

Went for a run today and didn't feel my achilles once. Unfortunately I have become so unfit during my lay-off that I felt everything else. Still, it's good to be on the road again.
