I was able to do the 5-5-5 three times my first day! I am so excited about this program that I spoke with my cardiologist. He suggested I try the first week's excercise program 3 times a day. I didn't believe I could do it but I tried. I did the first routine before breakfast, the second after lunch and the third after my evening meal. Not only did I feel good about the plan but I slept very well all night long.

@marieb, That is absolutely terrific! I know it feels good to be able to just get started and then begin thinking of ways to add to the basics. Maybe that's what the Mayo Plan wanted people to do. Very smart! I'm impressed that you lightened three times. That is tremendous to do the first and then know you could do more. You are absolutely right. It feels healthy, and the success propels us to whatever level works for us.
I am delighted your cardiologist was supportive and wanted you to add more time too. It's great to have the dr. with you too.
Congratulations and Keep on Walking!
Let me know how things are going as the week goes on.

That is a great modification to the 5/5/5 idea, @marieb. Thanks for sharing that!

@marieb WOW, way to go! That's great. I like the idea of doing it multiple times a day a lot. I wish I had a treadmill in my house, I am not a big outdoor walker, and right now it's pretty cold out there. I suppose I could do a modification and instead of walking use my recumbent bike in the same way - 5-5-5. I may try that.
