I started tracking what I was doing for exercise back in October 2014. I set a goal for 2015 to exercise at least 15 minutes per day, five days per week. So far I am averaging 41 minutes per day every day. I actually tend to take at least one day off per week and sometimes two, but rarely exercise less than 30 minutes and often exercise 60 minutes.

Most of what I am doing are Original Strength resets like rocking, head nods, segmental rolls, and dead bug work. I had set an aggressive goal of Spiderman crawling a significant amount every day, but suspended that plan in consultation with experienced Original Strength practitioners who warned me that the persistent soreness I was experiencing in my left forearm meant I should avoid Spiderman crawling until it was resolved. So now I am doing 10 minutes of baby crawling many days.

I miss picking up heavy iron, swinging kettlebells, and performing pull-ups, but have decided to give myself several months of performing Original Strength type work exclusively to see how much progress I can make resolving some of the “mechanical” issues I have had for years in my left shoulder, elbows, and now forearms.
