My goal is basically to just be completely consistent. Most days I try to hit 10,000 steps (less easy than one would think if I'm just sticking around the house homeschooling and doing laundry--so I really do have to get on the elliptical, go for a long walk, or jog every day). And I do a strength-training regimen 6 days a week, using isometric exercises. I love it! I'm trying hard to balance my exercise along w/ the other demands of life....I admit that it's hard to strike a balance between homeschooling, housekeeping, practicing music, cooking, exercise and children's activities. My never-ending quest for balance continues....:) Pollyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09403233175071026416noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7036528759304766052.post-60796364683664814922018-02-19T17:55:16.172-06:002018-02-19T17:55:16.172-06:00I've been a consistent runner for around 15 ye...I've been a consistent runner for around 15 years, but this fall I aggravated an old ankle injury and had to completely stop. I couldn't even go for walks, but it was okay because it's cold here in the late fall and winter, and so I didn't mind. Now my ankle is fine again, and I even have a new pair of running shoes, yet I keep procrastinating taking that first step! It's so hard to start up again after stopping, but I know that once I do, I'll be right back at it and glad. Just have to put on my shoes . . . and I need it to stop snowing!!Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03867656058895825645noreply@blogger.com
