New Exercise Routine, Take 2

Yeah. So. Um. That exercise routine I wrote about in my last post? Yeah, that didn't stick.

And, uh, the 2 months it's been since I last wrote? That would be me subconsciously trying to avoid facing up to my, uh, what should I call it... Failure? Disappointment? Overconfident Overplanning?

Regardless, after actually engaging in a different (though pulled from the same articles) exercise routine, I can definitely say:

If I'm going to start something new, it better be simple as hell.

Now, every day is the following: Elliptical, Push-ups, Rows, Glute Bridges, Wall Sits, Planks. In that order.  And, every day I'm just trying to do a little more/harder/longer than I did the day before. So far it's working out well. The first couple of days were painful - as in, migraine, sick to my stomach, runny nose painful. I'm still going, but am definitely popping more Aleve than I like. (As someone who has had many rebound headaches, I'm pretty nervous about OTC medicating 2 days in a row.)

Back to my routine... It's pretty sad right now, but at least I'm doing it & working to my capacity. Here are my numbers as of today:

• Elliptical - 5:46 mins, .3 miles (I alternate between doing longer times/distances and doing the same distance in a shorter time)
• Push-Ups - so modified!! - I do wall push-ups at a 30 degree angle, not even knee push-ups yet! - 2x10
• Rows - 2x10 with 54 lbs
• Glute Bridges - 2x 00:20, 1x 00:30
• Wall Sits - 3x 00:20
• Planks - modified on elbows and knees - 3x 00:20

Here's to gaining strength!!
