After figuring out that I am not just going to be able to start walking 45 minutes each day I decided to look for some stretching exercises and came across some information on Pilates. I started reading and it looked like some darn good exercises to help get and stay in shape and keep fit. It also looked damn hard and not like something I could do. But, after some looking and digging. I came up with a DVD that claims it offers complete Pilates workouts for inflexible people. I put my order in and a the DVD arrived yesterday. It looks promising with a range of workouts that go from 10 minutes to 60 minutes with varied purposes. I am going to try and spend time each morning after getting the kids off to school doing some of these exercises. I figured that would be the best time since no one else will be around except for the dog and the cats. It will be interesting to see how they react to me stretching out across the living room floor. I am hoping to start with the smaller 10 minute sessions and work my way up to an hour a day each day during the week. Hopefully It will help in my mobility and before long I will be taking a daily walk with the family in the evening. It should be an interesting journey.
