I’m just 1 person trying to motivate myself. After a few weeks of health issues, I’m trying to bounce back. My body was so tired on Tuesday that I opted to do a stretching routine.
For the rest of the week, I tried new-to-me dance workouts to keep my interest and motivation up. That strategy didn’t always work, because I had trouble keeping up with some of the dances. I also twisted my knee during the belly dancing workout on Wednesday and had to modify a couple moves on Thursday and Friday when the pain got too bad to put a lot of pressure on it. By Saturday, I was back to full impact moves and standing bicycles and jumping jacks were no problem again.
So I’m glad I listened to my body this week. I kept up with daily workouts but made sure they allowed me to recover as needed. My total minutes aren’t super high this week, but I’m still proud of my accomplishments.
