Fitness Log #273, Friday Firsts And Fabulousness

I have been keeping track of my exercise every Friday for 5 years, and plan to continue doing so.

Since the pandemic started, I have been keeping track of “firsts,” and more lately, I have been trying to note good things (“fabulousness”). It’s a good way to pay attention and not let life slide by.

Friday Firsts

This week’s firsts:

  1. I tried out another exercise video from the list at Boomer Eco Crusader. Also one I would do again (walking and stretching).
A classically dressed woman holds a bow out of reach of a winged cherub. A curious hound completes the triangle of main figures, set in the countryside.
Not a pose from my exercise video, but it would probably be a good stretch.

Fitness Log

The goal is to get 150 minutes of moderate exercise, of which (ideally) 60 minutes should build strength (yoga counts); if I am working in the hospital, my goal is just 90 minutes, which is a more realistic stretch during those busy days.

How did I do?

  • Saturday:  Tried a new video workout, 22 minutes.
  • Sunday:  Unfortunately, my knee bothered me after yesterday’s work out (probably related to the foot issue). I bailed on exercise today.
  • Monday: A workout with my trainer, 30 minutes.
  • Tuesday: I walked a lot in the hospital, but no formal exercise.
  • Wednesday: No tennis lesson, my teacher is still out of town. After watching lots of CME videos, the last one on the importance of exercise, I worked out to last week’s exercise video. 22 minutes.
  • Thursday: No exercise.
  • Friday: Family excitement (not the good kind) with Mr. PiN’s father. No exercise after work.

Total: 44 minutes of exercise videos, and 30 minutes of strength training. Still not at my goal.

CME Goals

  • MKSAP: none.
  • CME Videos: 5 hours. Perhaps I need a little more balance here.
