Just 950 more miles before 2022!
It's always a tense moment when going out for the first run in a pair of new running shoes...
Minus 4 here this morning so I took it steady as well. Although with a heavy and crunchy frost, grip wasn't a problem for most of the way and the usually muddy lane was like running on tarmac it was so hard...

Re: Post your daily exercise routine
I had to reconsider not bothering about exercise when I experienced something that I hadn't been troubled with for years. I heard a wheeze and got a feeling of tightness in the chest when exhaling. Signs of asthma coming back.I'm not going out so have gone back to the indoor exercises that I did during the first lockdown. Fast stepping up and down a stepping-stool, changing the leading leg every 30 seconds. Doing this for five minutes few times a day. This makes the heart and lungs work a bit. My calf muscles hurt for the first couple of days but Heck!, I could handle it.
They are fairly painless now.It was either this or go back to using the Ventolin inhaler.

I do something akin to this on a wide aerobics bench. The steps are coordinated with arm exercises employing three-pound weights. It's as good of an indoor workout as I have come up with that doesn't require machines.

Happy to say that on top of the usual dog walk I did almost an hour of Yoga! First time for a couple of months at least. Boy was I stiff. I can't believe what lockdown does to your flexibility. I'm always amazed at the magic of yoga in unlocking energy and fitness in a few moves without even getting out of breath!

Decided to try out these new deadlift socks any they worked wonders! would highly recommend [link removed]
Anyways. I'll be continue to try and work up my weight safely on this exercise. (I'm currently doing 15 pounds on each side). Hoping to get to 25 pounds by then end of the month!
