By the third day, you should be spirited enough to engage in a jog or brisk walk for 15 or so minutes. This should then be followed by a lower body exercise towards the end of the day. The fourth day of your program calls for sufficient rest as well as good stretching. When resting, it is advisable you workout the mind, i.e. get rid of negative feelings and thoughts and replace them with positive ones.
Day five you can start with a 10 minute walk, a lower body workout in four sessions, another 10 minute walk, then followed by a 4 session workout of the lower body again. Day six entails engaging in low impact workout such as swimming. To avoid getting bored, be ready to try and invent new things that will give your body a low impact exercise.
Well, that is your typical workout week.
