I can't do number 5. As much as I'd like to workout with a friend it doesn't work for me. I do intuitive workouts. I rarely workout at the same time daily, and never know what I'm doing it until I hit the door. It depends on how I feel and how much energy I want to expend. I make sure to lift 2-3 times a week, cardio (both short and long) 5-6 days a week, and flexibility and balance almost daily. LuckLuckily motivation has never been my issue. Staying in motion while injured, now that is a challenge!! Nice read.

I know what you mean about trying to schedule something with another person. I try to walk first thing in the morning to make sure it gets done. It sounds like you're really staying on top of getting in all of the important exercise components--cardio, strength, and balance. I'm glad you've found ways to move that honor your body while injured. Great job, and very motivating!

I've been walking more recently, and when I do, I get to listen to my audiobook uninterrupted. It's glorious and keeps me walking. Making it more enjoyable has made a huge difference.

That's a great way to generate motivation! I'm a "thinker" when I walk. Sometimes I get my best ideas when I'm walking. Whatever gets us out there is a winner!
