Yesterday marked my 100th day with the 5BX exercise program. I must say I've come a long way since making that Lent promise to give up video games (ie: Wii Fit U) and switched to the low-tech exercise plan. There have been a few days I've missed, either due to sickness or soreness, but I do have 100 successful workouts logged in my Google Sheet!
Assuming I consistently hit my daily marks, I figure I am only 60 days away from meeting the programs prescribed goal of Chart 4, Level C- (I am currently at Chart 3, Level D). Part of me is wondering what I will do when I get there. Would I cut back on the progam, doing it every other day instead of everyday? Would I stop the program altogether and move to a different exercise regime? I know it's a bit early to start thinking about things like these, let alone a bit more than shallow to focus on the end when I'm little more than halfway through the journey ("It's the sides of the mountains that sustain life, not the top." -Robert M. Pirsig). That being said, my focus should be hitting my marks and nothing else.
This is going to be a short entry, but I leave with the knowledge that fitness is a lifelong affair. The fact that I've kept up with an execise program for 100 days is awesome (last time I did something similar was a few years ago with Wii Fit Plus). I don't know if motivation was the problem why I kept dropping programs. All the same, I'm glad I found something that works for me right now and look forward to keeping myself healthy.
