Week #2, Tuesday, my 3rd day of exercise in Week #2: Today, I am following the mantra that “ A little bit is better than nada ” (which is also a song performed by the Texas Tornados in the movie “Tin Cup.”)   I missed going to the Y this morning before work, so I bundled-up and went for a mid-morning walk around the block at work.   Current temp is 19F with several inches of snow on the ground, but it is sunny out and it was an invigorating walk. As far as exercise goes, it is always true that a little bit is better than nada ! Hoping for more snow this week so that cross-country skiing is good this weekend!!!     vetteman1328, I noticed that you posted your Week #2 Monday night workout yesterday in the Week #1 thread.   I wanted to let you know that I have entered it correctly on my spreadsheet in Week #2.

We are off to a great start in Week #2…I hope to see some good “stick-to-it-iveness” from all the participants. clocknut joined this week, and anyone can join-in at any time!!  Anyone here get a "wake-up call?"   A diagnosis of “cancer” is often a wake-up call to set two important new lifestyle and dietary goals in your life.   First , slow the rate of PC growth and thus delay either first-line treatment or possible recurrence as long as possible or forever.   Second , use the diagnosis as motivation for improving overall basic health practices to improve longevity & QOL.   Good reasons to stick-to-it!

Week 2, Day 3 (02/05)

  • 30 minutes brisk walking

Today I would normally do my regullar workout of stationary cycling and elliptical training, but I have a meeitng tonight after work I need to attend.  So I took it upon myself to leave work today for a nice, brisk 30-minute walk.

I'll resume my normal workout tomorrow and throw in an extra day later this week to make up for it.

Week Two, Tuesday.

Brisk walk twice around the parking lot at work. 1.7 miles. One advantage of my biofeedback training. I am getting quite good at doing my kegels while walking briskly. I can isolate the correct muscles without tensing my abs, breaking my stride, or breaking wind.
