gettin' on up

[ceagle]

For months at the gym, I've been setting the aerobic machine to shake it off at around 700 calories per hour, but today.. everything just felt so right in there... decided to ramp it up to 1,000 calories/hr.. first time in quite a while.. *accomplished warbles*
Now if I can stretch it out longer and longer, and keep it steady, I might strip off a few of them extra lbs that have been stackin' up, while keeping the plumbing content also.. :9

Say, folks... :>
Remember that feeling, when ya were a kid, and could just run and slide and soar in circles and surges that seemed to know no bounds? *cheeerp*
Can you think back to when that ended...? Didja ever want it to end?

Welp.. I'm no Jack La Lane, but I think that's part of the secret to being/staying young, inside and out. Motion.
Our brains ride on the body.. that's our vehicle. It's transitioning to these sedentary lifestyles that sucks away a lot of our youthfulness.

:| So.. if you can, try to remember how to plan a part of your day, like when you never had to plan part of your day.. like those grammar school times you would just get up to live for that playground. Spending 6 hours a day there... is where our fountain of youth was. If we get a half hour of just *walking* these days, we're probably lucky... ;P

Planning is the key to motion.. and Motion is the key to youth. Say it like Yoda, if it makes it more fun and palateable :D

Thanks, gator guy! *wing kerfuzzles ya*

You know, if we could just bottle the energy of kids, we'd never have to drill for oil again... O.o

And me, I'm just trying to get out for walks more often.

[c-eagle.livejournal.com]

hehe,... Great analogy! :D
Yep.. keep gittin' that fresh air neath yer wings, and the cool grass neath yer paws... ^V^

I love to walk and bike(though thats done for now cause of snow X3)

I have to agree with you. Most people even my age will not allow for activity/ walking and it shows. Granted I could probably stand to actually get to the gym and use my membership and eat better :D

[c-eagle.livejournal.com]

ooo YEAH! Bikin' is great fun :9
and *heh*... Know whatcha mean re: the gym.
I'm with two gyms.. one I started back in college, and I've been a member so long, and go so seldom to that one, they spontaneously slashed my rates so low I can't leave! :D

*HUGS.. in the expanse of encompassing wings..... ^V^ waggle waggle waggle waggle.....* You got it, llamafluffy!

Congratulations :3
Do you need trimming down? *peers at you* from the last picture you seem to be fine. I've got to start doing my exercises again, I want to build up my stamina.

[c-eagle.livejournal.com]

heh! Well.. not too much, I s'pect... I am just noticing that I am now prone to the possibility of 'sedentary tummy'... hehe... so yeah, while jus' maybe 5 lbs off there would be fine (okay okay... 2 kilos *snicker*), I'm not overweight, no.. *warble*
What I'm shootin' for is to keep limber and lithe, with cardiovascular activity, so that I can hopefully bounce off the walls (safely) at age 150... :D
*fuzzles your ears*

[cabcat.livejournal.com]

The scarey thing is I think you will be bouncing off the wall at 150 o.O
*prurrr prrurrs at the fuzzles*

"Planning is the key to motion.. and Motion is the key to youth" Where's the keys to my car THAT'S what I want to know! O_O Oh wait-- I don't have one yet *^_^* Anyway... that time you're thinking of, it doesn't really end... we just never really appeciate it as we slowly grow away from it. -_-

(Hey if it's exercise you want try spending a few days a week on a farm! You'll have plenty of things to keep you in shape ^_^)

*swoops in and grabs the shinies...! * Oooo... here's yer keys! 8>

Thanks for peekin' in, CW!

I can not remember when it ended... not at all
Did it end? Was it ever there?

*ruffles ya ears*

[c-eagle.livejournal.com]

heh.. well, I guess that's up to you.. maybe it hasn't ended for you! But like ya said, was it there...?
I guess it was if you loved trampolines and slides and swingsets and bumper cars and!.... and! ..and!.... :D

Re: *ruffles ya ears*

[furahi.livejournal.com]

I did love at least a few of those, yeah, so it must've been there at one point... But where is it now? Here? Nowhere?

*gets a flashlight*

[c-eagle.livejournal.com]

....*and goes hunting through the forests and jungles and swamps with ya, on an adventure to help find it....* 8>

motion is the key to youth?
I am a youth who engages in quite a bit of motion (working in a nursing home can be quite the work out) but um.... I still lack all that boundless energy and whatnot that everyone seems to associate with being young.

It's overrated.

but congrats on the uppage of the calorie burnage.
good luck.

[c-eagle.livejournal.com]

You seem pretty youthful to me.... ^V^ ... *hugz*
