Well, today I did it! I completed my first of many five mile jogs and I feel great. Two months ago I could not complete one mile without stopping six times and then could not walk for three days. Now I am doing five miles and looking forward to the next day.
The trick to exercise is sticking to it and doing it progressively. I worked on moving up to two miles by the end of May, three by the end of June and four by the end of July. I did this each day by just going a little farther each day. It did not have to be a big difference, but I did make sure that there was a positive difference. Taking the little steps does pay off in the end.
Now I am adjusting my schedule because I have exceeded my July goal. I am now shooting for six miles by the end of July and eight by the end of August. While I am doing all of this jogging I am also doing some weight training, stretching and walking. Mix up your activities to keep yourself motivated.
Stay motivated, set your goals and enjoy your success and you will get healthy.
