We walked yesterday and today; we'll continue to do so the rest of the week. Friday will be home-free day as far as the muscle relaxants are concerned. A friend suggested that I might not be giving myself enough of a break before working the same groups of muscles again, so my tentative plan - depending on what my body tells me, of course: REALLY gotta start listening to that thing! - is to walk as many days as possible (2km = 30 minutes), do free weights on Mondays and Fridays, and yoga on Wednesdays. And as per the comments on Friday's post, as soon as we have some money coming in, I'll look at heading to the leisure center to swim.
I'm looking forward to getting back to it because I'm remembering how damned GOOD I feel when I'm active consistently.
How about you guys? Anyone still sticking to their New Year's resolutions/goals? Anyone still doing @annieology's pushup challenge (Chebbar still is!)?
I'm still doing the pushup challenge. And planking. And I've begun my year-long step goal. And as soon as my bonus comes on, I'm going to get a couple new Wii games. Go us!!
ReplyDeleteGood for you! Swimming is great for back/joint issues. Today was my 15th day in a row working out for 30+ minutes on the Wii Fit and I'm on my 2nd book (out of the 20 I want to read to readthis year) so so far so good. I wish I could keep up w/Annie but I found out last year that pushups and scoliosis don't mix. :-/
ReplyDeleteYikes! I'm sorry you overdid it! Start slower and be gentle to yourself, for sure. It sounds like you're off to a good start with that.
ReplyDeleteMy goals are strictly diet related right now, though they'll switch over to strength training goals in a few weeks as I work to stabilize my new weight losses. Either way, it's going marvelously and I can't complain a bit :)
