Sounds like a good plan
Harriet - 2 hrs beyond all the running around you normally do. Sometimes I make my goals - by the end of the year I want this to be a habit! so a little leeway while getting into a new idea.
Nancy My walks are often 45min too. some 30, sometimes an hr or more if I go along the creek.
Harriet: Oh, ((Lynlee)) I wonder if helia had any similar experience while she was feeling so woozy for days recently - she also does gym workouts and might have had to stop a while herself. Always be sure you are hydrated enough.
Actually, I'm very impressed with any of us that feel confident about going to the gym.
Here's a really honest admission from me about exercise videos - I gravitate toward them because they are private.
I'm never anywhere but home if I don't feel like continuing.
I'm never anywhere but home if I'm dressed like a frump.
I'm never anywhere but home if I look foolish or lose balance or take twice as long to finish as I thought.
I'm at home. I have a pause button!
I have been trying to get in more hydration - think 1 glass off 2L does make a difference. this week measuring 3L and often getting into the 3rd bottle.... especially on gym/yoga days.
My thing with commitment to classes is that I go and do what I wouldn't do at home. For me a recent struggle was to find the right class, where Teacher respects I should not attempt to do / hold some things, or do alternate that suits me. And for me to respect that too.
I resisted all offers from the gyms here to sign up on special rates too for reasons like you mentioned - though routinely doing the exercises on a dvd or in a book, or gathered from internet or old ones from PT was not something I did..
Being dx w osteoporosis that was worse a yr later was probably a catelist for me. Anyway this gym had classes I wanted to try. a trainer who gave me simple things to do - not that I do them as often as directed. She said 2-3 per wk.
I knew that wouldn't happen. I've averaged 1 pmth with them
I was given instruction
not everto touch complex workout equipment beyond recumbent bike or risk serious injury. But have been to the gym inc classes 17 times now since I joined up late Nov - and consider building and moving my guineapig tractor about the yard weight bearing exercise and thats been since I joined. Anyway my view is that its that much I wouldn't have done if I hadn't joined and every little bit helps.. Trying to get there at least once every week. At end of years membership I need to chose pay per class or see if I can get another "deal" and its worthwhile.
trying to sit better. That has to help my spine.
Seeing the chiro tdy as neck/ back is woeful. Sleeping on a rolled beach towel as a pillow. Avoiding letting it get cold.
I need build my day around 3pm appointment so will walk midday, gp duty after that pre appointment. opps - need cash. will take from pdoc money.
