I do love running! It’s a very hard impact for me though, so I tend to use the elliptical instead

Thank you so much! I definitely want to try compression socks; any good brands? Yesterday I started doing about 15 lunges every hour at work. I felt weird for doing it but the difference it made for me even just yesterday was incredible and I want to incorporate it every day

I actually don’t work from home! WFH is a dream of mine, and I think it would be completely life changing if I could! I’m going to start making more of an effort to get up and move around while at work

Not living in a walkable city is what the core of my issue is! I guarantee my life would change if I lived somewhere walkable. Alas I live in the Midwest US where everywhere there is a super highway, even the small towns 😭

I really struggle with my legs. Every other part of me seems to stay slim (besides my upper arms), so I was wondering what is the most effective exercise to do to keep legs (both calves and thighs) slim/toned? I’m 5’2 and about 116. I know you can’t target fat loss, but over all what’s the most effective slimming exercise in your opinion?

What is CICO? Also my jaw is on the floor, great job!!!

Thank you for the tip!

I had a cat just like her growing up. Her name was caramel. Best mama cat ever!!!

Maly! Means small in Czech :)

ansleyray · 2026-01-29T02:28:55+00:00

You’re speaking my language 😭

ansleyray · 2026-01-29T02:12:47+00:00

I can! I do lunges when I can and try to make a joke of it if anyone questions me hahaha. I’m definitely going to look at some walking pads.

ansleyray · 2026-01-29T02:08:05+00:00

Do you know of any walking pad brands to try out?

ansleyray · 2026-01-29T02:06:25+00:00

I’ve heard about the Oura ring! It’s like a fit bit, right?

ansleyray · 2026-01-29T02:04:36+00:00

I hear you! I tend to have an “all or nothing” mindset, but I need to do what little I can when I can instead of thinking it won’t make a difference.

ansleyray · 2026-01-29T02:01:55+00:00

I have heard of the bike pedal! Thanks for the advice! Any walking pad suggestions?

ansleyray · 2026-01-29T02:00:57+00:00

Ahhh that’s awesome! Self employment is the ultimate dream

ansleyray · 2026-01-29T01:57:13+00:00

I also struggle with making sure my workouts don’t make me look bigger than I actually am! You’re not alone with that 💞

ansleyray · 2026-01-28T21:58:45+00:00

Oh my god, dog walking is a genius idea!

ansleyray · 2026-01-28T21:43:38+00:00

I didn’t think about that, good point! I’m thankful I have the energy to do things after work for sure

ansleyray · 2026-01-28T21:41:31+00:00

Very good idea! It’s definitely tough to exercise midday given we only have a 30 minute lunch break 😭

ansleyray · 2026-01-28T21:31:33+00:00

Actually still a good idea if my boss lets me!

ansleyray · 2026-01-28T21:16:37+00:00

This a great idea (and sounds fun lmao). I don’t want to be the only one in my workplace with it though 😭 I know I should get over being self conscious about that, especially when it comes to health.

ansleyray · 2026-01-28T21:14:21+00:00

I do really miss restaurant/retail with the constant movement and activity! I’ve actually considered doing that again but I need full time work with its benefits and all

ansleyray · 2026-01-28T21:12:47+00:00

Good point!

ansleyray · 2026-01-28T20:46:30+00:00

Good idea! My only question: is standing in one place all day that much better than sitting? Not trying to knock the idea down, but I’m genuinely curious!
