			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div><b><font color="red">Background</font></b><br />
Exercise have been something I discovered after starting this WOL. It has been fun and rewarding. Sometimes I struggle. I started as a total newbie. Everything needed to improve: conditioning, stamina, strength, flexibility. I guess it is easy to improve when you start at rock bottom. <br />
I am doing my exercise by my self for the time being. I have been thinking of joining a class and I may still do that but so far this is going well. <br />
 <br />
<b><font color="red">Finding the right exercise for me</font></b><br />
<font color="red"><font color="black">This has been fun too. I have found that when I like something I stick with it. Not necessarily the right thing as you need variation.</font><br />
<font color="red">I am focusing on three areas:</font><br />
<font color="red"><br />
<font color="red"><u>Cardio:</u> </font><br />
I want to improve my conditioning and endurance. I have been doing walking videos and running for this.<br />
 <br />
<u><font color="magenta">Flexibility</font>:</u><br />
Yoga and crunches are helping me here<br />
 <br />
<u><font color="magenta">Strength:</font></u><br />
Doing weights and other exercises here.<br />
 <br />
<b><font size="2"><font color="red">Weekly workouts</font></font></b><font size="3"><br />
<b><font size="3">Goals: 5 to 6 workouts per week</font></b><br />
<b><font size="3">What I am doing now</font></b><br />
</font><font size="3"><font size="2">Running: C25K three times a week. Walking 2-3 times a week before the strength training. </font><br />
<font size="3">Weights/strength: 2-3 times a week</font><br />
<font size="3">Yoga: One time a week</font><br />
