Xercise365

When I started this plan to exercise everyday for one year, I thought it would be pretty easy. I forgot about hectic travel, busy lives, not feeling well, etc. Somehow I have managed to exercise at bit each day. Most days I have done pretty well but a few times I sat up in bed close to midnight and did 25 stomach crunches or walked the stairs in my house multiple times. This week while traveling I achieved a goal I set in this blog - to do a totally different kind of exercise every day for one week (and I almost did it in a difference city). Here’s the run down:

Sunday - Water skiing in Vonore, TN

Monday - Power walking in San Francisco

Tuesday - Jumping rope in San Francisco

Wednesday - Lap swimming in Las Vegas

Thursday - Weights in Lansing, MI

Friday - Mountain biking in Maryville, TN

Saturday - Stairs on the Riverwalk in San Antonio

Today - kickball with my kids (plus biking). Fun but exhausting week.

Our the Labor Day weekend, my family and I rented a cabin in the beautiful western Carolina mountains. My exercise over the weekend was run/walking up a very steep incline. It felt good to breath in that mountain air. It was delightful. After surving a stomach virus taht didn’t want to go away, I am going to pick up the X-plan a bit. There were some days, it was all I could do to do some sit-ups.
