Wow. Over a month of consecutive workouts.
My legs definitely needed the rest. I had taken days off from running, usually at least one per week, but on my off days I have been filling my exercise void with active recovery by going to spinning class at the gym.
And I may be a little bit crazy for working out for so many days in a row. But I enjoy it. I don't always go fast every day, I usually listen to my body and see how I feel, but working out every day just makes me feel good.
I spend most of my day sitting in a chair. For the summer months, that is at the very most 10 HOURS a day people! 10 hours of 24 per day. Yeah - I get up and walk around and take breaks and go to the bathroom and eat lunch but its still a lot of sitting. So if I don't exercise, I feel like a complete slob.

Apparently sitting is killing you. And me. So today I start my streak over again and see how far this one takes me.

Bah - I hate sitting for work. Definitely try to get up regularly and drink water, go to the bathroom, grab something from the copier, etc. Now going out for a little walk on my lunch break. Yesterday I walked a few miles, but other than that it was a day of rest for me too. I know the body needs it once in a while.
36 days is a heckuva streak--congrats on your accomplishment! I worry about how much time I spend sitting, too. I need to get one of those treadmill desks. I do try to take a short walking break around my building every half an hour or so when I'm working at my computer for long periods of time.
Wow. That is crazy! I can not imagine having that long of a streak... I couldn't do it! My body seems to need 1-2 full rest days a week!
I sit at work all day, too. I try to compensate by walking for 20 minutes around lunch. And I get up as much a I can during the day. I figure every bit helps!
Congrats on your workout streak, that is super impressive!! Keep it up!!
Well done with the streak! I admire you for doing that. I've been challenge many times to start a running streak but so far I resist. I'm all against sitting but as I work in IT I often sit for long hours. I hate it but I do love my job.
Well done sir, that's an awesome streak!
I've finally started cross training. I've even gone to a few of spinning classes. Hopefully it improves my running.
I sit a lot at work too, I may be interpreting at the same time but I'm still sitting. I do like that I have to walk around a lot to get to my classes though. Summer is definitely filled with a lot of down time!
Great job with the streak but I'm sure your body appreciated the rest.
I have to sit a lot at work too but thankfully my co-workers and I tend to take a lot of get up and move breaks!
Wow that is a long time! I think the longest I've gone straight is like 10 days. I walk the dog every day but it's a very EASY walk so I don't even consider it a workout at all! I move A LOT more at my new job than I did at my old job but still spend the majority of my day sitting!
I hate that I have to sit so much at work! It makes me feel so tired & sluggish and just BLAHHH.
On to another streak! :)
