Getting started again

          I started exercising again on Thursday evening.  In the Spring of 2009, I discovered Leslie Sansone and her Walk DVDs.  I have several different Walks from one mile to five miles.  I do have a few favorites and those will be my core aerobic workouts.  My goal is to do at least one of the Walks each of my days off.  I wear two weight belts which are two pounds each and one pound hand weights during the Walks.  I'm not sure whether I'll be doing any of the Walks on the nights I work.  I've had a workout bench with resistance bands for twenty years which I'll use for strength training.  My goal is to do strength training three times a week.
          Thursday (7/31/14) I did the Walk Away The Pounds 2 mile walk.  This Walk is good.  I've given the DVD as a gift and it is my sister and brother-in-law's favorite Leslie Walk DVD.   I also used the band resistance bench and did fifteen repetitions of  six different exercises with an extra focus on my legs.
          Friday (8/1/14) I did the 5K With A Twist.  That is my favorite Walk.  No strength training.
          Saturday (8/2/14) I did Punch Up Your Walk which is four miles.  I also did strength training using the band resistance bench and did fifteen repetitions of each exercise with focus on arms and legs.
          Off to a good start as far as exercising.  I go back to work Sunday night.  I work ten hours a day four days a week at a restaurant.  The challenge at work is to avoid the desserts I enjoy so much.  For the past few years I've given up desserts for Lent.  Time to give them up again.
