May's Moving Minutes
 

I hope in May we can all move our bodies more than we did in April!

I am pledging to move 440 minutes for May! If my number seems too large for you don't fret... challenge yourself not someone else on the website. Be the best YOU!

Blessings,
Annie aka: Dogpal

I'm not making any promises because generally that sort of thing doesn't work for me. But i have started doing a few little resistant type exercises and that's a good thing.

I do a pilates partial sit-up thing. - that's for my abdomen
turn over onto my front and lift up my chest - that's for my lower back
when i go to the loo, i do some squats - that's for my thighs
and then i lean against the washing machine for some standing pushups - that's for my upper back.

Mini tramp 10 min. Hey it's a start!

Personal 10/400

WOW! We are really moving! Good Job!

Pattience: no worries about promising to move. I think it is pretty cool that you are adding your minutes no matter how many you do!

Deb: I am so proud of all of us moving. It is especially hard after a very long break in exercise. Way to go.

I think I will try to update my movement minutes every Sunday so...

Oh right, i forgot about this thread. Well yesterday much to my surprise i started running again. I found a training program that i've decided to follow. It only requires two outings a week and is easy for me to start with. Later on there will be three sessions. But i could always keep it to two if i weren't hoping to join a race at the end of the year.

So yes yesterday was running 1.5 miles.2.5kilometres and walking 2 minutes , then running 2 minutes. Couldn't be much easier than that. it took me 18 minutes but there's no time constraint.

Didn't make time for exercise yesterday. Will shoot for 45 minutes or so today to start to catch up.

I am doing my little resistance exercises everyday. I didn't do them until late last night yesterday. I've still got sore muscles from my running on tuesday. I hope they are better by tomorrow. And i wonder if i will have sore muscles every time for quite a while since i'm going to be pushing myself speed wise. I hope not.

70 minute walk outside!

Sorry for being MIA. I got injured trying to lift my over 100 pound labradoodle into the back seat of our 4x4 Dodge truck. I have been in a ton of pain and that is keeping me still. Today I am going to go to the gym that I joined on Friday and at least walk in the water for a while.
