Attempt one did not work.
I have been thinking about how to alter what I did to be more sustainable.
It hurt. More than I was willing to repeat.
I feel like I kid who touched the stove, I don't want to touch it again.
However, I am getting my nerve up. I sound like the cowardly lion.

I'm so sore ...
Two days. About four minutes a day. Doesn't seem like it would be enough to make me this sore. I don't know if this is valid or not, but it seems as though being sore, up to a point, is a sign that it's working.
Day Two
My lungs are still burning. First Tabata workout completed.
After a bit of stretching (and wow! I could touch my toes despite months of not stretching) I did alternating jumping jacks and running in place while swishing my arms back and forth at shoulder level. Did I do it well? I don't know. I just know I did it and my lungs haven't had such a workout in I don't know when.
Tabata. It's short for Four Minutes of Hell. It's a HIIT style workout. You do the exercise you are doing as hard and fast as you can do it for 20 seconds, then you rest for 10 seconds. Repeat 8 times. If you are in shape, you might want to do more than one 4 minute cycle.
It's supposed to be good for you. This is an exercise I think I can make room for in my life.

Day One
It hurt. I am so weak.
My friend G suggested I try just doing squats to a song that some people are using for timing their workouts. It's Bring Sally Up, Bring Sally Down and I'm here to say that for me at least, it was brutal. But still doable for someone who hasn't been exercising much for many months.
The good news is that I've started.
