Exercising

Last week I was not experiencing as much fatigue as I had been experiencing so I decided that I needed to get back to exercising.  I began riding the stationary bike and walking on the treadmill.  During that first week, I rode the bike for 20 minutes each day and walked on the treadmill at a speed of 3.0 for 1/4 mile.

Yesterday, I started my second week and increased from 20 to 30 minutes on the bike and from 1/4 to 1/2 mile on the treadmill.

My plans are as follows:

• Week 3 -  Bike 40 minutes, treadmill 3/4 mile @ 3.0
• Week 4 -  Bike 50 minutes, treadmill 1 mile @ 3.2
• Week 5 -  Bike 60 minutes, treadmill 1.25 miles @ 3.4
• Week 6 -  Bike 70 minutes, treadmill 1.5 miles @ 3.6
• Week 7 -  Bike 80 minutes, treadmill 1.75 miles @ 3.8
• Week 8 -  Bike 90 minutes, treadmill 2.0 miles @ 4.0
• Thereafter - MAINTAIN

Total time spent by Week 8 is Bike - 90 minutes, Treadmill - 30 minutes  or 2 hours

What is important here is the fact that I am gradually building up my time/distance/speed rather that start off fast and hurt my muscles and tendons that have been inactive for several weeks.

NOTE:  this entire exercise routine presupposes that my fatigue will continue to be non-existent.
