3 Motivations:
1: strengthening and straightening my back (scoliosis)
– 30 minutes of Pilates and 2 specific weak-side targeted exercises, 3 times a week
2: Adding muscle mass to increase warmth (I’m cold too often)
– 30 minutes, 3 times a week of strength training with weights at my gym, targeting butt, legs, hips, back, core, shoulders, chest, everything. Muscle everywhere will help keep me warm, and also prep me for backpacking.
3: Backpacking training
– 30 minutes, 3x a week, of aerobic exercise to help breathing and endurance for backpacking.
– strength training targeting the muscles in (2) used for backpacking
So all in all, 9 30 minute exercise sessions, or 4.5 hours a week. I am already active, but this might be a little much at first. I exercise maybe 3 hours a week, 4 at most currently. And now school is starting. But I’m hoping this will be my ultimate goal to work to.
