Little Nemo - slow-but-steady
Fessed up to my physio this morning that I haven't been doing my exercises. Bad combination of mad overtime and nasty cold meant I missed over a week's worth. Luckily I haven't gone backwards too much. New sets to do so hopefully will be able to stick to them until I go back in 3 weeks.

I think they prefer honesty about the exercises rather than hearing someone saying they have done all of them when they clearly haven't! I have had a physio say to me that even she struggles to do her exercises, especially when the initial pain or whatever has gone, it's human nature Exercises done the day.

When does everybody tend to find works best for remembering? I'm thinking first thing might be easiest to remember but not a great time for the muscles.
But also before bed might be possible... or just before or after dinner?

Lyns: It depends what kind of exercises you have to do, I like foam rolling in front of the telly, but now I have squats to do and that is even more annoying for anyone else in the room watching tv than my rolling around on the floor.
I don't know why first thing in the morning would not be so good for the muscles, my muscles are warm when I get up. (Not a physio here.)

thanks for the welcome - my muscles are stiff and clunky in the morning.. I tried morning yoga for a bit but can't really do it, as in i can't touch my toes whereas in the evening i can put my palms on the ground!! - But then i'm a VERY deep sleeper and don't move much in my sleep..

Exercises done. Pilates at 8.30 which will hopefully help stretch me out a bit more! I hope everyone else is doing ok

Little Nemo - slow-but-steady
Didn't do anything while I was on holiday so I need to get back on them now. I don't have enough time to do mine in the morning and ideally I'd like to do mine first thing when I get home after work. Doesn't normally work out like that though so sometimes I only get them done just before bed!
