Exercise:	Feeling/Reaction:
50 Jumping Jacks	Felt a little queasy at the end. Was ready to be done at 50.
6 Push Ups	It was a stretch to go to 6, but I was trying to go a little lower in my angle.
20 Crunches	Felt really good. I am feeling my abdominal muscles really work. Could do more.
20 Mountain Climbers	Was able to do these quickly without stopping. I think it is time to amp it up a little.
35 Second Plank	Tried to go for a little longer this time. It wasn't too much of a stretch to go to 35 rather than 30.
20 Crunches	I felt like I could do more crunches so I decided to do so. It was a good idea.
11 Laps Running Around the House	My pattern was as follows: Run 4 Walk 1 Run 2 Walk 1 Run 3 Walk 1 Run 2 I'm really proud of myself. I set a small goal when I started running to do 4 laps before resting. I reached that goal and probably could have done a fifth lap. My lungs and heart felt great during this part of the exercise. I think I may have done 3 laps on that second set, but I let my mind wander and lost count. I played it safe and said I did the two I knew I did. My feet didn't hurt after running this time.
4 Laps Walking Cool Down	I let my mind wander freely here so that I could relax and focus. My brain feels a little cluttered today.
60 Step Ups, Fast	I decided to go fast on my step ups this time because going at a walking pace was getting boring. I feel like I got more out of it today.
20 Stair Hops	Not my best day. My balance was off and I stumbled a few times, but I saw it through to the end.
10 Lunges	The lunges feel great. It's like doing walking yoga. I can feel it stretch out the tops and backs of my thighs where it gets tight from running. Love it!
40 Wall Push Ups	I have been feeling like I have needed to add something more for my arms the last few days, so I decided to start throwing in some wall push ups. These are easy to manage and aren't too straining, but allow me to do more. I stood 3 (4 inches each) tiles away from my front door and lowered down to 90*. I went for as long as I could until I felt tired in the arms; then kept going for 10 reps more. It felt good.
