Okay It's Monday. Perfect day to start this whole work out for 15mins a day thing. It's gross outside so no walking today. I just googled 15min Pilates workout and this what I got https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u-Xeeu2iZf0 not bad, I'm afraid my lower back maybe sore tomorrow but I baby it so much bc it always hurts that it's good to strengthen it. Hopefully I didn't hurt myself bc I work two 12 hour shifts in a row. (which I never do) If anyone has any workout routines they want to share please do. I'll update and let everyone know how I feel tomorrow. I'll tell ya, I was winded after this one lol.

I had to take down my treadmill when we got our love seat with side by side recliners (a life saver sometimes when I would otherwise have to be in bed, and actually more comfortable than bed).

Now when the weather is bad I just walk through the house. Through the living room, then kitchen, down the hall, turn around at the far end of the bedroom, then walk back to the beginning and start over.

Good luck with the exercising! Hopefully all goes well, be careful and don't overdo it.

I did try my treadmill today, just a short walk...i will see how i do with short walks first and see if i can work up a bit..

Last year was a tough year.. And we started this one with the flu which left me feeling weak..so slow and steady is a good place for me to start.

I may still stretch out today

There are a lot of great videos on youtube. Also look for Tai chi by Mathew Cohen - great intro video and when I was at my worst it was one thing I could do that actually left me feeling a little better.

I do the elliptical and a reclining bike. I work up, adding a little more time every few days. I am at 35 minutes right now. I prefer the pool and deep water aerobics, but I can't afford it right now.

Thanks everyone! I didn't feel bad the next day after this video. I didn't work out the last two days bc I walk so much a work (I work at a jail and it's a big campus.) I'm surprised I didn't have a flair up today bc the last two days were so stressful work, not normal stress which I can deal with but stress from a supervisor who is targeting me. I left work crying both Tuesday and Wednesday. Does anyone have anything over the counter ideas that I can use for anxiety? I've had bad chest pain and a racing heart since all this happened. I tried rescue remedy but it's not working.
