Starting this month, I’ll be working toward another one of my 2009 resolutions by starting my fitness regimen. I’ll be tracking my progress daily (but probably privately), and I’ll post a monthly update on how it’s going. This June, I want to participate in the Run for the Lincoln Park Zoo 5k again, which is a nice motivation.
Below is my proposed exercise regimen at least to get started. Since I still have problems with my knee, I’ll have to work up to this. Once I’m OK with this regimen, I’ll probably up the ante.
Monday — cardio, mix of elliptical, treadmill and bike (minimum 30 minutes)
Tuesday — strength exercises, focusing on knee strengthening and core work (30 minutes)
Wendesday — cardio, mix of elliptical, treadmill and bike (minimum 30 minutes)
Thursday — strength exercises, focusing on knee strengthening and core work (30 minutes)
Friday — cardio, mix of elliptical, treadmill and bike (minimum 30 minutes)
Saturday — yoga (30 minutes)
Sunday — brisk walk or bike ride
I started today with this plan, so I’ll have to eventually adjust to the Monday/Wednesday/Friday schedule. This is better because I can use the workout room at my office three days a week and then do other activities at home.
