Okay, since day 3 of the Challenge, I have exercised every day. First on the treadmill, steady walk of 30 minutes. Every other day, I add just a little more work to it--30 mins. with a 1 minute burst of running, twice. Then a 1 minute burst 3 times in the 30. Then 30 mins. with two 2 minute bursts of running. Then three 2 minute bursts, then I increased the speed in the running slightly.
As I started to actually enjoy it (yeah, go figure), it became less and less hard to get on it every day, and I didn't freak out over just how LONG 30 minutes really was.
In addition to the treadmill, we have POP Challenges midweek--the first week was 50 jumping jacks and 50 windmills. I did a modified version of each, they do take your breath away. Even though this was only a POP challenge, I've continued it on into the 2nd week.
The 2nd weeks POP Challenge is at least a 20 second plank, 50 Tricep dips and Pilates 100. I have managed those (not easily, but I can feel the pull in my abdomen), on a modified regimen but it's working.
Feeling very good, very accomplished, getting more energy for the exercise, which has always been something I never liked, so never could push myself to do it.
