Going Out Like a Lion #ReadersWorkouts

Welcome to Readers’ Workouts, the weekly event where book lovers share workout stories, goals, successes, and challenges.
We’re nearing the end of March! I need less than 40 minutes a day of exercise to meet my goal of 1300 minutes this month. That’s my average, so I anticipate that I’ll meet that goal. I need 9 stretching or strength-training sessions to meet my goal of 20 workouts this month. That’s probably not going to happen! But I’ll see if I can get one per day in so that I can start April in a better place.
How are you doing with exercise? Share a link to a workout blog post in the list below or share a story in the comments.
I have been lax on strength training lately.
I didn’t think I would get it together to post but….here I am!
I was doing great in January and most of February on my overarching goal of 10 hours/week of exercise, but haven’t checked in with you in a while! My routine fell apart when we had a death in the family (my father, who was 87) preceded by a very draining hospital stay before that. Then when things were getting somewhat back to normal, I proceeded to come down with a lingering cold virus.
I am slowly getting back to normal routines again, and hoping spring weather (if it ever comes) will help my body and spirits revive!
I downloaded the CoachMe app, which I think I saw mentioned in a Readers Workouts post, and wanted to report my success with that to you! I track my progress on my weekly goals which include some form of exercise daily, daily weigh-in, and three gym visits (yoga class). I was doing pretty well with my New Year’s resolutions; I liked clicking the checkmark in the CoachMe app and keeping an exercise and weight log. (I also use it to help with my resolution to get to work a little early!)
Sorry for this LONG comment, but I want you to know I appreciate #ReadersWorkouts, even though I don’t post about exercise on my blog!
