Why not have some targets as I do.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I have always found it extremely helpful to set targets for myself, always slightly more than I have achieved so far, but enough to make it a challenge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If and when I get there, I then set a new target.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
So I am always competing with myself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I would highly recommend this approach as it gives meaning to the exercises and changes your approach to them in a positive way as it is a big boost to your self-esteem each time you do manage to reach a target.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I wouldn\u2019t have got this far without them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
So I still set myself targets because I am never satisfied.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Join me on my latest target, an attempt to improve my walking<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I used to run 5 miles in 35 minutes every morning before my shower before going to work but those days are long gone. I don\u2019t run anymore.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
So I decided exactly 8 weeks ago I have to improve my walking first, before hopefully getting back my ability to run. I miss running, it was something I really enjoyed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
So I have started going out at first light in the morning and gradually increasing the distance each day. I started with only a short distance (probably about 300 yards) but I\u2019m up to about 2,000 yards already. It\u2019s quite surprising how quickly you can improve.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Any passing cars and those out walking their dogs probably think I\u2019m crackers as I try to march as I was taught to do in my square bashing days in the RAF.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I have a simple exercise routine I do before setting off which I have found helps considerably. If anyone is interested, there is a video of me doing those under the Mobility menu.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
