Workouts for Cancers

What's your preferred source for exercise? I've read cancers should go for water aerobics. I've never tried it but signing up next month.
Had lots of success with Belly dance. The music keeps me interested.

I have done belly dancing, yoga, hiking, running, I have a personal trainer right now with a gym membership.
I'm really an outdoorsy type. I like to hike, walk, bike.
I'm not a good swimmer, but I love the water. I wish I could swim really well.

Why haven't you learned yet? You're missing out!!!

I plan on taking lessons this spring/summer.

I play basketball at the gym every tuesday & thursday. I also take walks around my school campus every morning. I don't like swimming tho. My little exercise always helps me burn calories & it's fun. I think people should do exercises that are fun. It keeps you motivated to come back to it the next day

Seriously CC? I have a jump rope. I'm pulling that sucker out TONIGHT! Time saver!!!
I'm not big on the hiking. Then again I haven't done it in over a year. Maybe I'll try it again this week to see if my tastes have changed.
Kinda shocked about the lack swimming.

I do numerous things but I love to run, actually shelled out $ 300 for a very nice jogging stroller so I can take the kiddo. Running on the beach and jetties here is my fav.

DANG! Wish I would have known I treat that thing like it is made of gold because I am afraid to break it. I can't afford another

@that1girl which is why the free shit thread needs to happen. LOL really its sitting there.I need to find a.program to donate to I guess. I probably got it the day you bought yours LOL
@CC did you try the swim cap? Sure you look like a big ass condom but a girls gotta do what a girl's gotta do!

@kim30 you are right free butter thread needs to be started. As for donating it you really should. I know so many moms who would just cry tears of joy for that kind of help

@CC Swim cap plus olive oil saves hair from water damage

You know what I really want. This.

This is so me. I can see me doing this on the path along the lakefront.

Workout? Walking (everyday), running, biking, swimming (not good, but can float), badminton..
Would love to enroll in a dance school, if only I have more time..(frustrated dancer)

omg that looks fun!

Lets see, currently not pursuing anything serious. I'm just trying to focus on calming the lupus down without meds. In the past I've done yoga, kickboxing, step aerobics, weights, elliptical, treadmill, hiking, mountain biking, walking, belly dancing, pilates. I'm thinking of getting back into the yoga, pilates and belly dancing because it's not as intense and I can use it as a low key stress reliever with the benefit of toning. I usually love the high intensity stuff like step and kickboxing. I hate running...too much boobage and I have super loose ligaments so my ankles snap. I LOVE to swim. I swear I'd be in the water all day long if I could but I don't live near the ocean or on a lake and don't have a pool and even if I did there's the whole gotta do normal life stuff. When on vacation it's usually on a lake or at the ocean and yes, I'll spend hours swimming. Going over deep parts doesn't bother me. I swear I'm half mermaid the way I love water. lol

LOL@ "too much boobage" same here. Might knock myself out on the track

I've taken to high Rep plyometrics and free weights for more a total body fitness approach , I also enjoy a good run.Since its warming up I'm gonna go back Kickboxing and jumping rope. funny thing is I am having trouble keeping a workout partner they can't keep up with me 😛.

Running on the beach and jump in the ocean to cool down

Sooo...I found buns of steel video at a resale shop, never opened. Couldn't sleep through the night so I popped it in. I hate Tamilee Webb. I don't care what anyone says, I know she's something. I want to fight that little she-shrimp. She didn't PAUSE! grrrr...

@kim30, that sounds tough. Have you ever tried p90x? My sister is a cancerian and she enjoys p90x, gymnastics and kickboxing.

@arielle83, i'm not a cancerian but I do enjoy running on the beach but not the jump in the ocean part though. My sis would love that but we don't live near the beach.
