Learning Selfcare: Learning to Move
This seems like such a neat feature I wanted to start my log even though I will probably not be doing much exercise while on Induction (well I came to the exercise forum to research that!)
I have very modest exercise goals. If left to my own devices, I never move and am a lump. I've always been a bit clumsy and this has led me not to enjoy exercise.
In summer, I joined a gym with "drill seargent" type private instruction. I paid a huge amount for it - but still haven't gone regularly. Although it was very intimidating all at once, I do feel that just the act of joining and what I learned there has helped me babystep up to this point. Also, while doing cardio there, I discovered that working out on the elliptical was much more comfortable and "doable" for me than a treadmill, and that if I monitor my heartrate and keep it at target, I don't get the "I am going to die" feeling the next day. So I bought myself a cheap elliptical machine with heartrate monitor for my apartment, and have been very successful doing 1/2 hour on that most days.
So, as I progress in Induction, or possibly afterwards, my exercise goals are to use the elliptical 4 or 5 times a week, and to FINALLY -- argh --
GO TO MY PERSONAL TRAINER FOR WEIGHT-BEARING EXERCISE INSTRUCTION 2X a WEEK WHICH I ALREADY PAID FOR DAMMIT.
