Man, I used to be practically regimented back a few years ago. Monday was Yoga, Wednesday was Body Flow, Saturday was Zumba, Sunday was Body Pump. Tuesday and Thursday nights and Saturday before Zumba was run/walking using C25k. And most weekdays, I'd walk for 30-40 minutes at lunch. Then my zumba class was cancelled. Followed by the Body Flow class. I hurt my shoulder so was taking a break from Body Pump. I think the yoga class went on for awhile, but I never felt really comfortable in there, physically or emotionally, so I decided to just try using the elliptical and the circuit machines. Yeah... that didn't work out for me. It sure wasn't worth what I was paying to be part of that gym. So... I quit. Kept run/walking. Bot got bored and was going to quit, and was then introduced to the Tucson Runners Project (now defunct). Then my running became track workout on Wednesday mornings and "long runs" on Saturdays. And *sometimes* I'd run at night during the week. Or walk around the park with the dogs we had at the time.

I got away from all of that. Maybe ran by myself on Saturday or Sunday morning, or on occasion with Meg. Maybe walked the dog(s). Maybe (most likely) sat around with a book. I tried to be more active, but just kept falling by the wayside (or rather, the weigh-side). I'd lost 40 lbs. I put them all back on, plus a few more. Still kept to a semi-regular Saturday run/walk, but now it was mostly walk. Then a friend stepped in and offered to take me as her guest to Planet Fitness. She said she needed the push of having to meet someone there to actually go herself. I was game. First time was one evening after work. Big mistake. The world was there. So then we tried to getting there about an hour (6:00 a.m.) before we had to leave for work and that was better, but by the time we added in shower time and getting dressed, it was less than 30 minutes. So we changed it to meeting at 5:30 a.m., which gave us at least a full 30+ minutes. So that became our Tuesday/Thursday morning. Then... COVID. Haven't been to the gym since the shutdown. Actually a little before, as my friend is severely asthmatic. We didn't want to take any chances. I still went out on the Loop on the weekends to run/walk. My only real exercise of the week. And now, because my foot hurts when I run, I ride my bike. On Saturday and/or Sunday. But... probably not tomorrow. We had severe thunderstorms and rain last night. I heard that the mud on parts of the Loop is nearly 2 feet deep. I'm not comfortable enough in my abilities to ride on the road (so many crazies around ​here). So, this weekend, at least, I may have to go to the gym here and make do.
