In my recent searching online for ways to "get strong", I found a site called Nerd Fitness and wanted to try the workout...but I needed to warm-up first. That's when I found this 5 minute "easy warm-up" by Fitness Blender.
I've done this before bouncing for about three days and I can tell I'm already getting better at it! The plan is to do it a few days and then do it twice for a few days (or more).
I also added a brisk one mile walk by Leslie Sansone into the mix. I was having hip issues when I did this last year, but I'm going to go easy on the side-to-side moves and see if that helps my hips not hurt.
The other day, I did a 1/2 mile walk outside my house. I'd like to be walking again, but hate driving five minutes to a sidewalk to take a walk. On the nicer days this winter/spring, I'm going to see if I can do a little outdoor walking on my busy rural road, we'll see how that goes.
I think I've underestimated what I can do physically. I haven't wanted to exert myself to the point of becoming disinterested because a workout was too hard. I've wanted to focus on the HABIT of exercising and less on the intensity. But now it is TIME to up the INTENSITY since the habit truly is in place. So I'm looking for something sustainable, a workout for right now at 225lbs that I can actually DO and not become discouraged.
Walking outside and/or inside, rebounding health bounce and more and maybe a strength workout might be the direction to take. I'm also working on upgrading the nutrition on our dinners, too.
