Readers’ Workout — January 28

Welcome to Readers’ Workouts, the weekly event where book lovers share workout stories, goals, successes, and challenges.

We had some cold and busy days last week. I managed a little exercise each day to continue my streak but was in danger of falling behind in the goal to exercise 1400 minutes. Fortunately, it warmed up over the weekend. I walked twice on Saturday and twice on Sunday and I’m back on track for my exercise.

Unfortunately, it’s cold again, so I’m having to be creative with my exercise. Yesterday, I danced, did calisthenics, and engaged in some shadow sword fighting while watching the most recent season of Merlin.

How are you coping with the weather and other barriers to exercise?

I only made it through one hour of karate last night. My tendonitis is a bit improved, I found some stretches to do that I think will help:

The video is from a percussionist, which is interesting.

Choosing indoor exercise close to work and home is really helping me achieve my 4-workouts-per-week goal. I’ve managed two weeks in a row with 2 regular workouts, one lunchtime aerobics/toning class in the office gym, and one barre class on the weekend a ten-minute walk from home. Same goal this week!

Gah, the cold is killing me too! Been below zero or close to it pretty much all week, so I’ve been sticking to the treadmill. Working on running 2 miles without stopping and getting close. Then I plan to improve my pace a bit before moving up to 3 miles without stopping. Perhaps a 5k this summer if I’m up to it. 🙂 38 degrees on Saturday so maybe an outdoor run this weekend, finally!

I was sick this past week and my Boot Camp classes were canceled due to a snow storm, so I didn’t get anything done :(. But I am feeling better and looking forward to a better week, fitness-wise!
