Workout Routines?
BipolarDisorder2 posted:
What does anyone do? I'm (hopefully...never say 'definitely') starting up Britney's ab routine today...already did about 100 or so situps and have several more to go..(Gotta add up to 1000/day) But I was wondering if anyone worked out and what ya'lls routines were.
Mine right now is 1000 sit ups in hopes of getting my abs in shape, and if I can hold onto that, I will also do at least 100 push-ups a day to get my arms back into shape.

I use to work out but lately everything seems so difficult, a good workout i find is to do a bit of fast paced walking with my treadmill set at an incline and to do some arms exercises with my 3 lb weights at the same time, i tend to get bored so that helps keep me distracted, lol...though lately i admit i haven't been doing much of anythin, it feel like a miracle if i'm out of bed the whole day

Holy cow!!!! a 100 sit ups??? That would put me into a coma. 
Since I have chronic pain and bad asthma probs mine is very light. I just started it too. I have these rubber band thingies with handles. I stick it in the door, pull the handles back gently (this strengthens my back muscles and tones my arms). I do some squats for my legs and a few sit ups, not many, just to tone my legs and tummy. Once my asthma is under control I intend to go for longer walks with my dog to strengthen my lungs. I have to do something, or I will totally waste away.
If I forget to do the exercises just one day, then it will be easy to forget to do it the next and the next.

Cookie: LOL Yeah, it'll equal out to 1000 sit-ups a day. I want Brit's abs and I think if it works for her, it'll work for me ;p
Skypper: Your routine sounds awesome
I used to do weights for my arms but gave up.

it works and you work on several areas at the same time so it doesn't have to be super long...before i got the treadmill i use to use my bottom stair step, i'd just go up and down back and forth and do the arm weights at the same time too, its a pretty effective workout...if you add singing to that you also work on your breathing too, i haven't done that for a really long time though, perhaps i should try getting back into some sort of routine even if its a short one

I think so too...I sing enough in the car that I think my lungs are good ;p I should, however, try and get back into the weights like you are...my arms need toning up (although a lot of people roll their eyes when I say that) and my abs certianly need work. Plus, I heard working out is good for your mood...? IDK how true that is for a Bipolar, but I'm willing to give it a shot.
