Routine

Today I have started my routine to help get me through this deployment. I want to have a routine so the days go by quicker and hopefully I can adopt some habits that will impress P when he gets home.

Exercise Routine (elastic extends are working that body part with one of those elastic resistance bands)

Monday 

• walk Aiko twice 
• three sets of 20 pushups
• three sets of 10 leg elastic extends
• three sets of 10 arm elastic extends 
• walk/jog or cardio for 30 min

Tuesday

• walk Aiko twice
• three sets of 20 weights arms (curls and up's)
• walk/jog 2 mile or 40 min cardio

Wednesday

• three sets of 10 leg elastics 
• three sets of 20 lunges
• 60 min cardio

Thursday 

• walk Aiko Twice 
• three sets of 20 pushups
• three sets of 20 arm elastic

Friday

Weekend

• walk Aiko at least once a day

exercise isnt set in stone (except for dog walks, that is a must), I will just do what my body lets me do, and if things start to get to easy I will add more, and change up the routine.
