As I sit here typing out this post I find it rather ironic that I am writing it today. I am about to tell you all about my exercise routine on a day when exercise is the last thing on my mind. I feel blah and just gross. I guess exercise is one of those things that you just do despite how you feel and then you are so thankful for it afterwards.
I am still following the same routine I wrote about here.
I have changed walking DVDs to the Walk Away the Pounds Express – Super Challenge which is a 4 mile walk. I don’t always complete the full four miles. That is one of the benefits of these in-home walking routines. You can adapt the workout to how you doing that day. Just the other day I started doing the workout and realized that I was still fatigued from a stomach bug I had the previous day so I only did one mile. It was not much but I still did my exercise. The videos I use at home are based on what is available at the library. I am about to check out 5 Mile Fat Burning Walk. That should be interesting.
I continue to do the one hundred push ups training program. I am being completely humbled by doing this program. I am realizing how weak I really am. The initial exhaustion test put me in the most conservative, a.k.a. weakest, category of training. I found it challenging but quite do-able. There was another exhaustion test after the end of week two. I was feeling fairly confident and hoped to be bumped up the next level of training. Humbled again. I remain in the lowest category. You can look here to see what the training looks like in week three.
I am trying to exercise at least four days a week. Three of those days consist of the push ups and the walking and one day is just walking. On the day I have just the walking I try to complete the entire video (4 miles or 5 miles, hopefully). Getting back into a pretty regular exercise routine is really boosting my energy and my moods. I look forward to giving you an even better update in a few weeks.
you can do it sister!!!! Keep pushing!
