I'm not a New Year's Resolutions kind of person. I make resolutions throughout the year when I feel I need to. A few days ago I made a resolution to start blogging again, and to help keep me accountable I signed up to participate in the 2016 Blogging A to Z Challenge.
Now that I plan to make an exercise resolution I need a way to be accountable for that as well. What better way than to use my restarted blogging to keep me honest? I'm announcing publicly that I plan to start this week, easing back into an exercise routine. With my back issues there are certain moves I cannot and should not do, so I'll start simple with exercises my doctor has cleared me for. I resolve to -
1. Do my physical therapy home exercises (for my back) every other day as prescribed.
2. Do stretching exercises each morning and evening.
3. Do a yoga DVD twice a week.
Not much, is it? That's good. Being too ambitious is often my downfall. If I start slowly I can add more. The biggest thing is to create a new habit.
I'll come back to this in two weeks and see how I've done. Off to do my exercises now...
