BellaOnline Forums Health and Fitness Exercise What exercise did you do today?

Terri, that is so funny. That's the pair I have right now. However, I think I got the walking shoes and maybe I should have gotten jogging or something else. Had them maybe 2 months and now my feet hurt. I even put some Dr Scholl's gel inserts which helped a while, but not anymore. I do like the shoe though, they are light and comfortable for the most part.

My feet are getting old!

You look very young so surely your feet are old and not the rest of you. I have a knee that is not aging as gracefully as my other parts! There is a Reebok outlet near us that we like, the shoes seem to last a long time and are relatively inexpensive. Someone else told us to try Dr. Scholl's inserts - so you like those?

Thank you for your kind words

I just turned 54 last Sunday! I do like the Scholl's inserts, but there are so many that I think would serve my feet much better, I just have to look for them.

First of all I can't believe your. As for the shoes, you'll just have to try on several brands and find one that's comfortable for you. I used to be a Nike devotee but changed as I got older. I hope you find some comfortable shoes.

While traveling and doing heavy duty sightseeing, I wore a pair of slip on tennis shoes which were comfortable here at home. I wore them once and put them away for the rest of the trip. I wore my Pikolinos, a little buckle up sandle everywhere. Granted, I'm not doing power walking or jumping jacks, et al, just walking, but how much more comfortable they were. The day I purchased them I knew they were going to be a comfortable shoe.

Today I did 60 minutes of wii fit, which is my normal routine.

That's really good. WII Fit can be an intense workout. I don't think I've ever been able to do 60 minutes. What exercises do you do?

I like Wii (sp)

I used to have it and actually miss it. But for now I'm trying to get on this Mountain thingy - I don't know the tech. term but it's like a cross-country skiing type deal.

I want to do it, but just can't seem to do it w/out something going wrong.

I wonder if anyone out there has a suggestion as to the difference between say a flat-walker, like almost a conveyor belt vs. this Mt. climbing-thing.

The Mt. thing really hurts, but my mother-in-law has a flat thingy that might work better?

I don't really know my body parts, but probably should.

Something to work on because, at least in my mind, it's all connected

Elleise, if the cross-country ski machine hurts, don't do it. You may strain or pull a muscle. I'm not sure what the flat "thingy" is but is it a treadmill? The best indoor machines you can use are a treadmill with cushioning and a recumbent bike.

Good luck with those body parts.

Elleise, I'm wondering if the mountain climbing machine is a nordic track (sp?) or elliptical machine. I've done both and they are intense!

I do very low, I mean loooow impact aerobics on the wii. The freestep where I'm stepping on and off a platform that is about 6 inches high and the hula hoop. I usually start with 30 minutes of the free step, then alternate free step, hula until I reach 60 min. I listen to affirmations while I exercise. 2 birds. 1 stone.
