Progress Report

It’s nice to see my weight come down after it went up last month. At this rate it will take 50 to 69 months to get back to a healthy weight. Considering that it took years of creeping weight gain to get where I am, that doesn’t seem so bad.

Here is my current daily exercise program. To a more fit person, it may not seem like much. To someone out of shape it may seem like a lot. Don’t be discouraged. At the beginning of the year, I started with just 10 pushups a day. The current program is a result of taking many small steps, increasing in increments that seemed very small and easy to me at the time.

standing spinal twist 1 stretch each side
side bend 1 stretch each side
Squats 25 reps

mad cat arch 1 stretch
hip extensions 15 reps each side
push ups 20 reps
Crunches 20 reps
Squirms 10 reps each side, alternating
lower back isolate (bridging) 10 reps
crossed leg 1 stretch each side
Curls 20 reps each side with 10# barbell

walk dog 30-45 min over 3-4 walks a day
