Cardio Improvement!

KBKomar

Today I jogged for 3 minutes without stopping. Not once, not twice, but 3 times! This is a HUGE improvement from the 15 seconds that I could jog 11 days ago. I am going to celebrate all the little successes that exercise brings in the hope that I'll stick with it this time and not give up on myself. ( I don't usually pat myself on the back like this but today I am so proud!)

yep. it happens fast. then it will be 5 minutes, 10, 20 and so on. just be mindful of how you feel, and don't push yourself if you feel like you're not ready for the next step yet.

Thanks Jenny!

Nice - keep it up.

I did very little exercise other than long walks until April 2021. Then I got a Peloton and have been on the thing daily. My first ride of 15 minutes was brutal, my first 20 min ride I was screaming bloody murder then my 30 minute ride was within range.

My first 45 min ride I felt exhausted but good. 3 months in, I'm aiming for 400km/month with nightly 45min rides. It's crazy how the body adapts.

Great job!

When I started on my NuStep I could barely do 20 mins at level 3. It felt like WORK. And my heart did flippity flops, just to keep things interesting.

Now, more than a year later, I’m up to an hour or more at level 10, and considering bumping it up to 11 some time soon.

Keep at it. You’re doing great!

PepeLPew- That is fabulous! I know what you mean about screaming....I am glad I'm at home and not in the gym! Can't wait to congratulate you when you hit your 400K month!
