I do believe we all have different inside clocks. You sound happier working out 1st thing in the morning. Maybe you could wear your workout clothes into work and do it before work or take a quick run prior to getting into the car to drive there. Actually breaking up your workout is probably a great idea if you can swing it. I put my workout clothes right in the bathroom the night before and jump into them 1st thing in the morning on my way out to the coffee pot. That way I am out the door and running before I have woken up enough to change my mind

Still reading regularly, but not really doing much. I did get to canoe 6-7 miles on Saturday and that was AWESOME. :D Even if I paid for it later in swelling :)

If everything goes well this week, which is a BIG if, I hope to do yoga and pilates classes on Wednesday. And my bereavement group has a walk scheduled for Thursday!

Topic: RE: Getting Started

Every program is different. My doc's instructions were to listen to my body. I spent an hour on a recumbent bike five days after surgery and was cleared for gentle cardio immediately. I was OK to lift weights at 3 weeks out. I had been doing a program with a trainer before surgery - in anticipation of post-op - and started right in - usually 40 minutes on the recumbent bike followed by 30 minutes of weights. Pretty soon, it was an hour of weights.

I started the Couch to 5k program at one point, but running isn't a good fit for me. In the first months post-op, I did lots of cardio on machines and walking, I swam and I did yoga and Zumba-type classes. I worked with a personal trainer about once a month to set goals and change things up so I didn't get bored.

By 7 months out, I started fencing and training for a 5k. Ran my one and only 5k in June and now pretty much devote myself to fencing and training for fencing (5-6 hours of fencing a week plus agility and strength training.) I also work with a Pilates coach regularly -which is fantastic.

Listen to your body and find something that you like to do. Liking it makes it so much better.

Fenced in a tournament Sunday - fenced against kids the ages of my own kids _14-18) and a few adults as well. Did better than my last tournament but not as well as I would have liked. Also, joined a new gym. While we love our YMCA, hubby and I have "outgrown" it -- we really wanted something with fewer crowds and more services. Going to try a Yoga class tomorrow or just do a general work out. Have my first meeting with my trainer there on Saturday.

Monday - Fencing - lesson and class 2.5 hours

Tuesday - gym day - explore new LifeTime Fitness

Wedensday May not make fencing -have a meeting at 6. We'll see.

Thursday - off to the gym again

Friday - possible open fencing at another club

Saturday - onboard training at new gym

Sunday - rest

Hope everyone has a great week.

Ooh, yes - that's another important thing. Don't try to do EVERYTHING ALL AT ONCE. Because hurting yourself and then having to take a break sucks :P
