Goal: Exercise Every Day – Day 4

Well, it’s the end of Day 4 (Saturday) of this week’s goal to exercise every day, or at least 5  of the 7 days between my Tuesday Weekly Updates. It wasn’t stellar, but I did exercise. So I can claim success

I started my morning with my usual morning stretches on the exercise ball and a couple core exercises.  And aside from running a few errands (which then I usually part towards the back of the parking lot so I can walk a little more), most of the afternoon was spent sitting.

My iPod keeps exercise from being boring!

Around 5:30 pm I decided that I better do something exercise wise, so I grabbed my iPod and headed for the treadmill intending on walking for the full 1 hour of a teleseminar I wanted to listen to.

But unfortunately, my leg wasn’t cooperating today and I could only do 6 minutes. (For whatever reason walking on the treadmill bothers my hip and leg more than walking outside; not sure why.)

But I was determined to get my exercise in today, so I headed upstairs, still listening to the teleseminar on my iPod, and sat on the exercise ball. Bounced. Did some roll-outs (which works the abs and gluts!). And stretched afterwards. 

After the teleseminar was over I started watching  a movie with my 12 yo daughter, so in all I ended up doing some sort of exercise or stretch on the exercise ball for over an hour and half.

I was pretty disappointed about not getting my walk in, sitting on the ball sometimes just seems too easy, but I am thankful that I was able to do something despite the problem with my leg.

Tomorrow’s another day – only three more to go until Tuesday.
