6. Well done! Interesting plan.

I don't watch TV much, because I have a hard time sitting still (one of the reasons I find meditation and shavasana after yoga so challenging). This would be the kind of stuff I could do while watching the idiot box.

I like my long workout routines because it gives me new ideas and gives me a little break while the kids have fun in the gym daycare, but it's nice to know that some of the little bits of time we carve out can be so effective!

I've only been serious about working out for about 16 months, but the progress I have seen in my similarly "aged" body is enough to keep me going. I just feel so much better and my mental calmness is really the pinnacle of the whole thing.

Thank you so much for posting this. It's hard to "put yourself out there" sometimes, but how nice to show everyone your great progress!
