Not heavy on the questions. I tend to fill up idle time with beer, I have more idle time now cause my back injury. 2x per week was probably not a big problem, 5 to 6 times per week is. I know that. I also know how 2x per week, leads to 5x per week, just like one or two drinks a night leads to 3 or 4, then 5 or 6. Thankfully there are only 6 in a pack. I don't buy 12 packs.
Running did help, and its easy, just go out and do it. I cant run anymore. I'm thankfull I can walk. I have no complaints.
I'd like to try swiming, but that's more problematic, not as easy as just putting on sneakers and leaving the door. Maybe a new routine. Maybe something else. Any other exercisers out there?
Today will be day 1. I will continue to post.
