Nice job on the health journaling. I’ve been encouraging my participants to do it and it’s an eye opening experience for them (and myself as well). For the overall exercise thing, have you been doing any flexibility/core work (i.e. yoga, Pilates, Mat Science)? It can really decrease the risk of injury during your workouts.
hi susie, no, i haven’t tried yoga or pilates but i generally stretch out really well after a tough workout. but you’re right, i should work on that core stuff, and variety is good!
