Default Gone's Adventures in Exercise

I just got the brilliant idea to post exercise links in my first gym page (like I post food and health related links to my second journal page). I've moved my original first gym post to the bottom of these links.

Princeton's Pelvic Stabilization/Hip Strengthening Exercises

Video: 11 Exercises to Boost Hip Strength

........................................................................ ......

Original first post:
Oh gosh, I am so awful at logging exercise activities. I am hoping that by creating this journal I will kick myself into doing it, and into working out more, to boot.

I have some unique challenges:

#1, I have a demanding job. Sometimes. Some days are 10+ hours, some are 4. Some shifts require hours of strenuous lifting and pushing of heavy-ish equipment ..some don't. No way to predict what I will encounter once I clock in.

#2, I have a back injury that can be made worse if I do the wrong activity (or do an activity the wrong way).

The heavy days at work always result in back pain and pain and weakness in one leg or the other (usually the left one).

So: I need to be stronger than my job requires. My goal here is to gradually strengthen my legs, arms, and core to possibly fend off the pain and further injury.

Does that sound possible?? Anyone reading this, please feel free to offer your advice.


Of course, any increase in muscle will boost my metabolism, and at 58, I need that, too!!
