workinglikeadog and stronggal: the strength-training component always feels so tricky to me. And, different for everyone. I seem to need enough to keep from injuring myself when doing garden work but not too much that I injure myself while working out.

January goal: 1200 minutes, ST or stretches every day.

1: 40 walk, 10 min stretch; 50/1200
2: 20 walk, 55 yoga conditioning; 125/1200
3: 15 walk, 10 legs; 150/1200
4: 40 yoga; 190/1200
5: 20 shovel snow, 10 arms; 220/1200
6: 30 yoga; 250/1200
7: 25 walk, 15 qi gong; 290/1200
8: 20 walk, 15 qi gong; 325/1200
9: 40 walk, 15 qi gong; 380/1200
10: 40 walk, 10 stretch; 430/1200
11: 40 walk, 15 qi gong; 485/1200
12: 30 walk, 10 arms; 525/1200

For a second January Goal, I want to lift 5x minimum.

Jan 13th- 50 mins lifting
Jan 16th- 30 mins lifting
Jan 18th- 30 mins lifting



Strongal, I am hoping to catch your lifting enthusiasm, although I am glad to hear that backing off lifting has given your shoulder some relief. HIIT is good stuff. Does that mean your elliptical has HIIT programs to choose from?

Joy, thanks, it looks like you are doing well on your mins this month:carrot:
