Ok, what do I mean by sustainable?

  • Being able to work out everyday
  • A routine that helps me improve in all components of physical fitness (aerobic, muscular, flexibility and balance)

 

Why is it pathetic?

Well, I've never been physically fit... Even though I have improved lately.

 

Day 1

 

Weight: 127.4 lbs

Did some isometric exercises this morning, not enough time to do anything else before going to work...

Thanks for your encouragements Phoenix...

 

So, evening workout:

I couldn't weight myself tonight (baby sleeping and all), did some yoga and pilates, no cardio workout today as I had a business lunch and no time to do it tonight.

Weight this morning (after breakfast): 130.2 lbs

 

Did some ball exercises, and the usual morning isometric exercises.

 

Mid-day update: got out of my cubicle, walked about 1 mile in 15 minutes, going around the duck pond and back to my cube.

 

Evening update: jogged 2 miles in about 30 minutes, did 2 sets of 10 leg lifts, each one held during 5 seconds.
