exercise 100 times

Sorry guys that I haven’t been reporting, but I’ve now probably done way more that 100 exercises, and I really love that it is more of a habit for me now.

Still, there is some laziness to beat every time, but I know that I will feel great if I do work out – so laziness is easier defeated :)

Was exercising almost non-stop, mostly about 30 minutes of pilates every morning. Also, spent 4 hours on Sunday walking in the mountain forests (Alps – beautiful!), which also definitely counts as a physical activity :)

Really bad pain in the lower back and hips since yesterday morning, so I did lots of stretching last night and this morning to try to fight it… seems better now, yet I think I shouldn’t stop at this and continue exercising, or else I will have the pain return in a day or two.

Still in business trips, and find it hard to keep up with the exercises. Nevertheless, managed to do half an hour of Pilates last week and twice this week already.

25 minutes of home-brewed Pilates. I am on a business trip this week, so will attempt doing pilates every morning.

After a break – 40 minutes of pilates, while watching Babylon-5. I hope I remembered all the exercises correctly, since I couldn’t bring myself to watching the pilates video again – it gets boring and discouraging looking at the same coach, saying the same things, all to the same music, again and again :)

After a break of pure laziness, I am trying to start again. 40 minutes of pilates this morning.

40 minutes of the “pilates” back-training exercises. Strangely, my stomach hurts more than the back after these, I guess the body is adjusting itself to create some sort of a balance.

Stretching etc last night, and 50 minutes with a “pilates” disk that my friend gave me (and I went straight into the “back exercises” section). Actually, it is pretty good. Not sure about the exercises themselves, they are very simple (though that may be an advantage too), yet even just following the coach, her timing, warm up and cool down phases, helped me be more efficient – and patient…

I may continue doing this “pilates” thing.

Some more stretching, sit-ups and jogging-on-one-place-in-front-of-the-tele-watching-Babylon-5 yesterday night. I was also hoping to get #5 down this morning, but my 3-month-old daughter was crying for large portion of the night, so I had no energy in the morning…
