Exercise:	Feeling/Reaction:
50 Jumping Jacks	Had to push myself to get started. Felt a little nauseous after I was done. Felt a little bored while doing them.
7 Push Ups	Still at 105* or so. Pushed myself to do 7. Felt good. No longer nauseous.
20 Crunches	Felt good. Took elbow to opposite knee, 20 on each side. Probably could have done more.
20 Mountain Climbers	I didn't have to stop. Felt great to go all the way through.
31 Second Plank	Lasted a second longer than before. I need to find appropriate alignment while doing this. Perhaps I should do this in front of a mirror to make sure I don't fall out of alignment.
11 Laps Running Around House	My pattern was as follows: Ran 3 Walk 1 Run 2 Walk 1 Run 2 Walk 1 Run 2 Walk 1 Run 2 (I ran in the opposite direction I typically do) My lungs felt stronger, my limbs were tired. I can feel my heart working and getting stronger. I am beginning to pick up my knees and heels more while jogging. Around the 7 lap my brain started saying, “I want to stop.... I want to stop...” so I forced myself to change my thoughts to, “My body feels good... my body feels good.” This helped me complete my goal of 11 laps. While jogging my left leg, behind my knee, ached.
Cool Down – Walking Around House	Walked around the house in the opposite direction that I ran about 4-6 laps.
60 Stair Steps	30 on each leg as the leading leg. Was kind of boring. I may need to pick up the pace rather than doing this at a walking pace.
20 Stair Hops	Lost my balance at hop 8, but got back into rhythm right afterward. My right leg was more tired than the left.
10 Lunges	My knee is reaching the ground more easily. It felt good, but I was tired by the end of it.
