I've been trying over the last year or so to get an exercise routine going. It just isn't working. I have lost 30 pounds in the last 8 months just by eating smaller portions and healthier options. Yay me!
A couple nights ago, I decided to ask my husband to be my workout buddy. He usually runs and other stuff at work on his lunch hour because there is a gym. I decided I just can't do it by myself.
I need someone to push me when I'm feeling lazy, and I know I'll need to push him when he's being lazy. Yesterday, we went down to our apartment complex gym and used the machines there for about 30 minutes, then jumped in the pool for another 30-40 minutes. Today, I got on my own bike and did about a mile. I plan on doing another mile later in the day, as well as my strength training.
I know you shouldn't do the same exercises daily, so that is why I think switching days between cardio and strength will be alright. If you have any advice, please feel free!
Keep in mind that I have bad knees and I hope that if I get more weight off they will be fine again. They didn't have problems until I gained all this weight. So running is out of the question for now, as well as lunges, etc. I would love to become a runner in the future, but we'll see how things go.
