Everyday Systems

I am just so darn proud of myself LOL. I decided I spend way too much time sittn' on my duff surfing the internet! This can't help my overweight situation much!

SO, I grab my dh's laptop (I may adopt it LOL) and plugged it in an outlet near my (ahem, dusty) treadmill. It was a christmas gift a couple years ago. It's really quite nice with the incline and memory and whatnot.

I have the fan aimed at me. The laptop sits up on the console quite nicely and I can walk at a good pace forever, type, use the mouse and everything. I don't even notice I'm technically exercising!! I've been surfwalkng for an hour now!

That's it, trick myself into moving my body, if I surfwalk as much as I surf sat, I should be in shape in no time lol.

|GIve it a try!

So just walked 2 miles without even noticing! Ha!

Off to cook supper...

Hope this makes up for yesterday's cake incident!

Whoah!, I don't dare to do nothing but gripping the handlebars on treadmills, because I'm always wobbly, I'm impressed at your mad coordination skills!.

What I do, though, is to play videogames while using the stationary bike; I'm an avid videogamer and a not so avid exerciser, so, this way, I curb my gaming time and extend my exercise time (I'll bike a little more until I find a save point, but not anymore, the game is very intersting but, my legs are killing me!).

Mavilu,
That's a great idea to bike while gaming. WE just got a wii and so I can see how one could get sucked into that! I've only spent a half hour playing mario cart since we got the thing...

Right now I'm surfwalkin' as well. I'm happy walkin' and sweatin' cuz I love surfin'

Geez I've never had mad skills before LOL.

Surfwalking...hmmm...sounds like a great idea, kind of like those built in tv on treadmills in the gym.

One question though, how exactly are you positioning the laptop so that it doesn't fall?!

My treadmill console is set up so that the handle forms a pot to hold the laptop steady and securely. Otherwise, if the handle didn't go that high, I'd have to strap it up somehow.
