i've been advised by my consultant to spend 5-10 minutes a day building up the strength of my abdominals and back to counteract any ill effects of the spinal fractures that resulted from a fall froma horse.

as i will be changing from an active job (working with horses) to a job in retail i will need to increase my cardio exercise as well.

this will be a log of any exercise that i do.
