In 2013 and 2014 I had knee surgery - I got two brand new knees. Needless to say, due to the pain of authritis for so many years, I didn't do much exercise. And I do love food. Kind of a bad Combo - I have had many excuses for not moving as much as I should, and eating way more than I should.
But with this new lifestyle I decided that that needed to change. But you don't make a toned body out of my body just so overnight. Slowly does it. I have tried so many times to get a more toned body and to get a more reasonable diet. Always succeeded for a few weeks, then there was stress at work or something else, and the whole programme was droped on the floor.
So - now it has to work.
And here my beautiful app enters the stage
It is called Coach by Cigna, you can get it here
or in the appstore or Google Play. It is free and it is easy.
You start out with answering a few questions and you then get a suggestion for some programmes. I got mine some time ago, and never really got going. But as I have mentioned before - new life.
I have only followed the programmes for 3 days. And I must say, I am impressed. Nothing more nothing less.
They start out really slow, which is importent for a person such as myself, the non-sportive-type. The excercises take up no space, doesn't require any special equipment. This is important for me, as I am often on the road, or only have the livingroom to work out in - and I don't want a million different excercises that I can't make anyways.
There are very few excercises and you can do them when ever you feel like it. Fits super to me.
I can now with pride in my voice say that I can do the Plank for 30 seconds!
Today I was also asked to do what ever I wanted just that it involved movement for 15 minutes. I wanted to walk, but it rains today, so they suggested dancing! - Been years since I danced. But ok - I found myself dancing for 15 minutes to the radio - I listen to Bremen 4 - excellent radiostation here in Bremen, Germany - but it is hard to dance to the commercial spots, but then I just hummed or sang what I could remember from the last song. I danced and flapped my arms like a bird, it must have been fun to watch, as it was fun to do. I did my 15 minutes of movement. And thereby completed todays programme.
I will fill you in on my plank excercise tomorrow.
