Hats off to Purple Peony

[Cakesandale]

Is Purple Peony about? I wanted to say a big thank you.

I have just read her post about the improtance of exercise to stop you getting, or dying from, cancer - in the Check your breasts thread.

I thought those stastics she quoted were amazing!

I have been on a half hearted Get Yerself Fit campaign (following the end of breast cancer treatment) but am finding it hard and, having booked myself onto a yoga course on Monday, I have spent most of this morning looking for excuses not to go to the first session tonight.

But now I am going to dig out the car and go!!

THANKS!!!

Thanks so much...I have been a couch potato for almost 2 weeks due to snow and falling over on ice on Everest- or was that just a little hill where I walk...but anyway, been shovelling snow today and did a lounge-workout yesterday to music.

Hope your recovery continues and enjoy your yoga!

So come on ladies- 30 minutes every day can reduce your risk by almost 50%! Get moving even if it's just indoors to your ipod.

This was the original post:
Ladies- as well as checking your breasts, how about making sure you do all you can to reduce your chances of cancer?

Studes show that taking moderate to vigorous exercise for 4 hours a week can cut your risk of developing it by about 34% and dying from it by 44%.

Also walked dd to school this morning (snow, not because i am conscientious) and did a bit of vigorous vacuuming. I am calling that half an hour.

And I swam at the weekend. Yay!

Onwards and upwards - Thanks again, I am determined!

Skidded all the way to yoga in the car. Cancelled owing to snow. Aaargh!!
