What does everyone do to keep fit?

[hannahealasaid]

I'm hopefully getting a baby soon(dependent on veting) and really need to loose weight before I back him. What does everyone do in winter to get rid of those pounds?

I've probably put them back on this weekend though

work, life! please dont say you have bought a size 10 hoping to shrink into it? it just doesnt happen! you should buy something that will carry your maximum weight not your minimum!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I did Jogging, hula hooping, step aerobics and then just loads of the fun game like the skiing and the number balloon thing.

I did half an hour every morning for about a week, and would then just play about on it at night.

I've got an extra horse to ride now though so haven't been on it much for the last week as I haven't had time.

I set a target to loose 9lbs, I think the last 3 lbs will be the hardest to get off

Pilates!! does amazing work on your stomache and helps wonders for your riding two!!, i also do gym, and sport at college as well haha

I havent got a small horse. To make 16.3ish warmblood with good bone. but i want to loose weight to be happier about myself, and also to take the strain off his joints while hes a baby. I have no doubt that he will be able to carry me, but that doesn't make it right for me to be over weight!

I feel like a gigantic blob! I lost 1 and half stone since getting Tia just over 18months ago but when I fell off and fractured my vertebra in Sept last year I spent 5 weeks lying on my back and then havent been able to do much so have put back on 8lbs

I'm gutted. I really need to find some exercise to do as well as riding but I struggle to fit going to the gym in around work and stables. Am thinking of getting a cross trainer to use at home but I dont have much to spend and cheap ones will be rubbish.

Llisten up everyone, Hadfos is being very modest here. What she does to keep fit is - all day, every day - try to help me with my Magic Disappearing Siggy Strip! I bet she's lost 3 stone and aged 100 years in the last week alone bless her (sorry to pinch thread!) x

Ballet, salsa, ice skating...

I play 2x 1½hr squash sessions a week, run when I can, muck out 17 horses on the weekends and ride every day!

I broke my L2 vertebra and have titanium rods from L1 to L4. I don't know if you have the rods? I saw a physio after I left hospital - Was referred by my consultant surgeon. They both said I should do pilates to strengthen my core. Most sports are at least partly dependent on a strong core, especially riding. It helps to support your back if it is weak.
I would take it very slowly if you have rods in there. I find running very hard and I certainly would never run on roads because of the jarring effect. I wouldn't use rowing machines either because of the bending action. I would go to a gym and explain about your back and if they are good they will taylor-make a programme for me. One example is that they have me doing partial sit-ups not full ones. My surgeon said that swimming and walking and pilates was the way to go. Good luck!
