DAY 30 COMPLETED! ๐ŸŽ‰๐ŸŽŠ The first time in my whole life I have stuck to a daily exercise regimen! I'm feeling pretty chuffed right now. The only question for me now is what to do next! Should I move on to the intermediate level? Do something different? Decisions decisions!

[โ€“] Duenan@aussie.zone 4 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I'm no expert on this, maybe if you feel ok work up a little to the next level but in incremental steps.

Anyway congratulations! Keep up the good work!

Thankyou for your encouragement!

PeelerSheila you are an inspiration.

[โ€“] just_kitten@aussie.zone 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

You're honestly an inspiration given everything else you need to wrangle in your life!! I envy being able to stick to a regimen. What does the intermediate level vs Something Different look like?

[โ€“] PeelerSheila@aussie.zone 2 points 2 years ago

Thanks for the encouragement! The intermediate level has some exercises I'm not really sure are that good for the back, so I'm a little sceptical of my ability to do it. I'd be more interested in some good low impact cardio. Or making my own routine based on the ones I've been doing.

Smashing it!!! You should be so proud of yourself! Love it and loving your journey! ๐Ÿ’œ๐Ÿ˜

Awesome! Proud of you sis. You've helped me maintain my routine as well. 10k will be walked today, I did nearly 5 at work so it's just another hour.

My advice is to keep doing what you can make into a habit but you do you.

Thankyou! I can safely say that I am totally in the habit of going for that 10 or so minutes of exercise before work in the morning. I actually look forward to it! It's me time for self improvement and I'm still enjoying it! I'm thinking of making up a 10 minute routine based on the ones I've been doing but with some of the exercises swapped out for ones I enjoy doing more. Unless I find some good low impact cardio routine I'd like to try.. I'll have another look tonight.

Yeah it makes you feel good and the benefits over time start adding up. I generally just do brisk walking and work is good exercise too. I might add some home floor stuff in time. Keeping it simple and enjoyable definitely cements the habit.
