Need I say more.
24 sets of steps last time and still sprightly.
Only 6 this time and could hardly breathe!!!!!
And those passwords again! Not sure what it is about me and this blog.

Trouser motivation
As I've been lagging behind the enthusiam lately, found the perfect thing - trousers I need to fit into early next week and they're a bit tight. There's no stopping me. Excercising, long walks, gardening, lots of activity all day.
Watched this video for extra motivation - reminded me of my old commuter days in London - never saw anything like this.
City Gents like you wouldn't believe in this - running and jumping across the City.

On the lookout
Everywhere I'm going nowadays I'm looking out for things to jump over.
Very long walk today.

Usual Excercise
Normally I go on long daily walks, excercise to music - put on the tv and dance or do specific excercises on and off throughout the day.
For many years I used the powerstretcher - the elastic thingy with handles that is advertised as 'just 7 mins a day'. I've stopped that as I think that it aggravated my shoulders.
I'm also a fan of a routine of fast excercises mentioned in my second post (ezine articles). It's a combination of stair running, star jumps, running on the spot, weights and press ups. Each done for a very short time each and alternated.
I'm not really up to press ups on the ground so instead I do them against the stairs. I think that I must have got fitter recently as I can run up the stairs more times than before in the set time.
Onwards and upwards!
I've just re-read that article and realised that I've been missing out the sit-ups. Never mind.

This is what I sometimes do (when I remember). You need access to stairs.
