I don't always post often here, but I want to start making it a weekly part of my exercise routine. Mostly I want to do this because it will reinforce a stronger sense of stability in my life, when my life hasn't been too stable for almost two years now (employment factors).

So with that in mind, what I want to share is that I am going to monitor closely the intentional time I spend on exercising; with the goal in mind that it will help me do a number of things:

For example, this week, one goal is to spend half an hour performing stretches in bed, before I get out of bed. This may seem rather backwards to most, but I did something this morning and noticed how it improved my whole overall perspective on life, today. I did exactly that: before I even rose from sleeping in bed, I did a series of stretches - stretching the muscles in my back and in my legs as I pushed my hips up on top of my hands and rode a bicycle (in the air) and then laid on my side and stretched my legs up and down and then practiced some other hard-to-describe yoga stretches. After I did my stretches before getting out of bed, I found I actually could get up off my bed without rolling off to the side, to stand up on the floor. It really worked for me, to do this today. I forget what made me do it - I may have dreamed I was doing it and then talked myself into doing it. *lol*

Anyway, this is how I am going to begin each new day this week. I shall perform stretches in bed, before I rise to greet the new day.

As for how I made time (and what I did) for exercise today: We had amazing weather - lots of sunshine, blue skies for miles and miles and early today, I unplugged from life on the net and went outside and walked for about 7 miles (either walking or breaking out into a jog and jogging for as long as I could, then retiring to a mid-range kind of walking style).

My day was enjoyable and I think what helped me today was altering the way I normally rise for the day and I plan to make it a habit this week to spend a half hour stretching - my body and mind - before I get up for the day.

*Cheers*

ps/ Just want to say thank you to Dapper for the warm welcome to the thread and to extend the same to Medusa -- It's good to see you here! And to also share with everyone: thanks for your commitment and support and the way you share about your day in exercise. It tremendously helpful to me to read about your day of exercise.
