The FitDesk, for AilaOne Thursday's journal: Seven hours of solid sleep with no wide-awake episodes, one hour of drowsing while listening to podcasts. Morning plank. Eight minutes first thing in the morning on the Air Walk Trainer to burn of glycogen. Thursday was a down day (500 calories) on the Alternate-Day Diet (4:3). One of my goals is to hit 56 grams of protein a day to prevent further sarcopenia. Nine minutes of stretching on the mat. Cardio: 2 hours, 15 minutes, Air Walk Trainer. I counted steps on the Air Walk Trainer to compare with the Striiv pedometer and the Striiv was within one or two steps of my manual count. Steps: 783 (Striiv). I went overboard with the cardio because I didn't have the will power to do strength training today - too humid. Relaxation: half hour nap, 15 minutes with the Miracle Ball Method (neck).

Thanks, AilaOne. I don't want to get one of those warnings from FatSecret that I'm losing weight too rapidly. :-)

I so wish I could do planking. My knee is just so weak it will not support me. Many good stretches and muscle toning I could be doing....

Eddie1261, you might take a look at the Harvard Medical School's special report, "Gentle Core Exercises: Start toning your abs, building your back muscles, and reclaiming core fitness today". Those might be easier for you.

Cinthia, when you weigh in if the drop is more than a pound or so you get a dialog box that says you are losing too fast.

For real, bill n cinthia. The subtext seems to be: check your scale again, dummy. :->

fatty ed, like a lot of other people, I used to watch a lot of television - still do. My prime time viewing is 9-11. Now, I associate that time slot with cardio. I do 25 minutes on the Air Walk Trainer, take a half hour break as a reward, then do another 25 minutes. In a summer of reruns, I rest my tablet on a ledge on the Air Walk Trainer and stream shows while "walking." Not so much finding time as repurposing it and creating a habit. Making it automatic makes it easier. No decisions as to when to do it. Nine o'clock and it's time to rock.

fatty ed, another example of repurposing time rather than finding it: I got a cardboard standing desk from Chairigami. Now, whenever I use the computer, I stand rather than sit. The time I spend on the computer is the same, but it's less sedentary. I'm trying to arrange my environment so that it's as friction-free and easy as possible to take healthy actions.

I have always thought of a computer screen powered by pedals you need to push constantly to keep it on :)

AilaOne, it does seem like a waste: all that pedaling, rowing, and walking, powering nothing. There are people off the electrical grid who use stationary bikes to power small appliances. It can't be that viable or they'd be sold everywhere. Until then, there's always the FitDesk.

Wow the customer reviews are not bad on that in Amazon :)

fatty ed asks, where do I find the time? Here's an answer eddie1261 might like: As Michael Fekete, the author of "Strength Training for Seniors," says,"Put your priorities in order. Eliminate the useless, the unproductive, and the nonsensical. You will be surprised at the amount of time freed up for training. The time you allot to exercise is your best investment. If you think that you cannot make time for exercise now, then be sure to make plenty of time for illnesses and hospitals later." I used to play The Simpsons "Tapped Out" and The Family Guy games on my tablet, which was a huge time suck. I stopped. As Fekete says, "Eliminate the useless, the unproductive, and the nonsensical." I only do 45 minutes of dumbbells three times a week. Any more would counterproductive. I do 50 minutes of cardio a night. I do about 50 minutes of leg strengthening exercises three or four times a week, for a total exercise time of less than 10 hours a week. That leaves more than 158 hours a week to do other stuff.

Wow, that is a great quote! "Put your priorities in order. Eliminate the useless, the unproductive, and the nonsensical. You will be surprised at the amount of time freed up for training. The time you allot to exercise is your best investment. If you think that you cannot make time for exercise now, then be sure to make plenty of time for illnesses and hospitals later."
