December goal - intentional exercise, hoping for at least 5X a week for at least 30 min. each session. If I shovel snow, I usually count those minutes at half. So, 600 minutes but hoping for more. I'm keeping my goal modest so I don't beat myself up if I don't do that great.

ugh - embarrassed that I missed so many days this week
Also slid down our stone steps this morning due to coating of ice...so glad I was wearing my usual outside gear of boots, snow pants, thick gloves, jacket and hat..because all of that padding did help. still racked the side of my knee and pressure on left wrist on impact. Iced the knee and took an Advil, rested for a while but just now made myself do a gentle workout to prevent stiffening up.
but YAY for slightly consistent exercise which kept me from hurting myself more!!

VermontMom : I've definitely noticed that fall-recovery is faster since I've been exercising regularly. I think I fall better, in ways that protect the most vulnerable joints, and have a better understanding of my body and what helps it recover -- ice, naproxen, and a carefully calibrated blend of rest and movement. Hope you heal quickly! We're expecting snow and then ice in the next 48 hours, so I'm going to use your example to remind me to be careful!

Gardenerjoy - yes! definitely a shoutout to exercise for helping us when we do fall. Last year I tripped and took a tumble but rolled instead of putting down a stiff arm (which is kinda instinctive, isn't it) Rolling was the best thing I could have done at that moment.

Looks like shoveling snow will be part of today's exercise or, maybe, tomorrow morning.
