Welcome, yahoo rangers!

Welcome from whichever group you signed up with. I hope that because here each board doesn't require a separate sign on, we'll get more cross fertilization.

It might not seem like there's all that much to talk about with urban ranger, but I do think if I had to choose just one system to practice, this would be it.

Don't be shy about posting. Let's get this thing started!

Consider me fertilized! :D

I've been walking the dog at night, so we're both getting in some aerobic exercise, usually 2-3 miles. It's harder for me to just walk, so I try to involve some other activity, too, like exercising Joey and picking up his poop, or walking to the bookstore, or listening to books on tape. Having a destination is good, because then I have a goal to reach lest I be stranded on my two little feet in the middle of where I don't want to be. Books on tape are good because I want to hear the end of the story. The Lemony Snicket books are awesome for walking to. :D

I have weights in front of the television, too, and I usually do something on Sundays, Tuesdays, and Wednesday, my tv nights. Couch potato? Hah, I'm trying to become a buff spudette. Do y'all combine your exercises, too? It's a lot of fun, as I'm sure the shovel-glovers and their caveman/farmer/soldier imaginings can tell you.

I'm a big fan of books on tape. I listen to them while walking and doing chores.
