Hooray I'm early finally.. I have been thinking about my exercise program. I've been very sedentary for a lot of months so I think I need to start out slowly. Oh no I don't sit all the time, I do plenty, but maybe I should have said inactive? What ever... I haven't been consistent with exercise. I used to get up and walk almost every morning. I'd do my chair stretching and then do the upper body workout with weights. I'd ride my bike several times a week. I'd do the cardioglide and the exercise bike.... now it's down to the cardioglide twice a week if I'm lucky and the exercise bike maybe once every two weeks. I really love the cardioglide and would do it every day but it's hard on the back and the knees, so that's got to be saved for maybe once a week. I've heard varying exercises is better anyway so this is my plan...
I will do my chair stretches Monday through Friday
I will do back strengthening exercises Monday, Wednesday and Friday
I will do knee strengthening exercise Monday, Wednesday and Friday
I will walk Tuesday and Thursday
I will do upper body strength training with light weights on Wednesday
I will do the cardioglide on Monday
I will do the exercise bike on Friday
Riding my bike outdoors is an iffy thing right now because of my knees. Hard to get on and off. If I get more flexible maybe I'll feel a little more confident. Maybe I should consider a three wheeler... with a basket for the dog. Hey it's an idea. Might look into that.
Anyway this is my plan. I'm going to make a chart and give myself a gold star or a happy face everytime I keep to schedule.. If I don't do it, then shame on me. I'll put a frown on the page.
So there you have my Springtime Resolution.
