The few times that I have tried to embark on a fitness exercise endeavor I have ended up overdoing and getting hurt or sick. So, this is something I have to do and I will figure it out. Last week I went to the gym and rode the stationary bike for 16 minutes. Believe it or not, that was too much. I was mostly in bed or resting for two or three days. I haven't been back. You might think that 16 minutes isn't much and so did I, but it was. I remember getting really tired around 10 minutes but I thought I could finish the trail I was on (the video) and I was enjoying it. But now, I know I should have done a quick cool down at that point and stopped.
Things will be different this time. I know that my cut off point is 10 minutes so I will go back tomorrow and go for the 10 minutes. I found a video on youtube today that told me I should do my limit and keep at that for one week. I will not increase until I have done that for 1 week and then I increase that by 10% for the next week. I can do this. I will do this. This time I will not overdo and quit because I can't gauge my energy and abilities. 10 minutes and then 11 minutes six or seven times a week is better than 16 minutes and then a week off. I can do this.
