I don't want to alarm anyone, but I HAVE WORKED OUT SEVEN DAYS IN A ROW.
That's right.
I was about to claim it was a lifetime record, but that might not be true. I WAS on that track team in middle school... Still, I doubt I ever ran on the weekends. So... LIFETIME RECORD!
If you are curious, my "workouts" include a collection of different exercises. On nice days I ride my new bike. Something that, I must admit, has turned out to be a touch harder than I expected. I remember back in the day (around the track years I think) when I could ride my bike FOREVER. Really, like I never really remember getting tired from bike riding. Maybe if I went up a huge hill or something, but as soon as the ground leveled I was good to go. So imagine my surprise when I discovered riding for fifteen minutes would leave me so breathless that I had to rest five minutes before I could speak in complete sentences. I also discovered that my street, which I used to believe to be perfectly flat, is actually at a deadly incline. An unseen to the natural eye deadly incline... don't let those fool you. But by the third day of bike riding I was able to go a respectable distance in 20 minutes and was able to talk when I got home. IMPROVEMENT!
On bad weather days I am mostly using the Wii U Fit for my exercise. I am doing a lot of the yoga and dance, plus a little balance and strength training. (Using the words 'a lot' rather loosely... I am maxing out at 30 minutes of exercise a day).
All in all, I feel really good about this entire 'move more' resolution I set for myself. I know it's one week, but that's a week more than I did last year, so it's a start!
