Hi! Welcome fellow athletes!
Try following in the footsteps of FitOldDog to put your exercise program on track safely.
DAY ONE post-surgery - hobbling around with a pole.
I recently received an encouraging e-mail from a friend, Karl, saying:
“I just want to acknowledge the great article you wrote on motivation. One of my logical road blocks to exercising is time management and lack of self-discipline to live by routine/schedule. The only schedule I follow is showing up to work.”
Thanks Karl, I appreciate that.
I looked back and re-read the article, which I’d completely forgotten - I wrote it nearly two years ago! It was entitled, “From Whence Cometh Motivation?” Karl was right, even if I say so myself, it’s not bad.
Then I got to thinking, maybe some of my readers who struggle with motivation, like Karl, could take the ideas in this article, then use my ongoing training log, starting at day one to build their own program of safe exercise for better health.
First in the world with an AAA stent graft, at age 67 in 2011. CAN I DO IT AGAIN AT AGE 71 WITH A STENT EXTENSION?
Remember, my journey is from life-threatening surgery to the 2014 Lake Placid Ironman.
You can modify your goals and daily workouts to suit your situation, and workout along with me.
Boy, if this old geezer can do it so can you.
Here is what I recommend you do.
- Read that article.
- Set your goal, a race or something else that you would be pleased to achieve.
- Follow my daily training log from wherever you feel ready, plugging in your own workout.
- Make sure you don’t miss anymore workouts than I do.
- Let me know how it goes, if you so desire, and questions are always welcome.
Best of luck!
