    DAY 30 COMPLETED! 🎉🎊 The first time in my whole life I have stuck to a daily exercise regimen! I’m feeling pretty chuffed right now. The only question for me now is what to do next! Should I move on to the intermediate level? Do something different? Decisions decisions!

      Yoo that’s amazing peeler! You did it! Personally, I’d stick at the current level for maybe a few days to a week, but that’s just me. Perhaps you might be one of the people that needs an ever increasing (but doable) challenge to stay engaged?

        I’m definitely interested in tweaking the current routine to make it more about exercises I like doing. That is unless I find some other low impact cardio routine I like the look of.

      I’m no expert on this, maybe if you feel ok work up a little to the next level but in incremental steps.

      Anyway congratulations! Keep up the good work!

      You’re honestly an inspiration given everything else you need to wrangle in your life!! I envy being able to stick to a regimen. What does the intermediate level vs Something Different look like?

        Thanks for the encouragement! The intermediate level has some exercises I’m not really sure are that good for the back, so I’m a little sceptical of my ability to do it. I’d be more interested in some good low impact cardio. Or making my own routine based on the ones I’ve been doing.

      Awesome! Proud of you sis. You’ve helped me maintain my routine as well. 10k will be walked today, I did nearly 5 at work so it’s just another hour.

      My advice is to keep doing what you can make into a habit but you do you.

        Thankyou! I can safely say that I am totally in the habit of going for that 10 or so minutes of exercise before work in the morning. I actually look forward to it! It’s me time for self improvement and I’m still enjoying it! I’m thinking of making up a 10 minute routine based on the ones I’ve been doing but with some of the exercises swapped out for ones I enjoy doing more. Unless I find some good low impact cardio routine I’d like to try… I’ll have another look tonight.

          Yeah it makes you feel good and the benefits over time start adding up. I generally just do brisk walking and work is good exercise too. I might add some home floor stuff in time. Keeping it simple and enjoyable definitely cements the habit.
