Exercise motivation: Podcasts!

I think you know that I herniated a disc in March.  Since then I've been doing back stretches and exercises that my physical therapist taught me.  They've become boring, but I still have to make myself do them twice a day.  So I've developed a routine that keeps me motivated:

Warm up:  Lie on my stomach with the heating pad on my back.  I use this time to read.  In the morning I do my Bible study and in the afternoon I read the latest book club selection.

Exercises:  Podcast time!

Ice (if needed):  Knitting

I wanted to listen to some new (to me) podcasts, specifically those which include more of my interests, and I've been enjoying the following:

iMake (multi-craft, some tech, recorded in Guernsey)

Apocalyptic Diner (knitting, vegan, tech)

CraftLife (knitting, cooking, music)

Shinybees (knitting, South African travel and culture)

Twin Needle (knitting, sewing, Denmark, Germany)

2 Knit Lit Chicks (knitting, reading)

These podcasters mention other podcasts I want to try, so soon I will have so much to listen to that I may end up exercising 24/7.  :)

Which podcasts do you enjoy (knitting or other)?

Please come back tomorrow for a book review and giveaway!

I think I've told you this before but I have just never gotten into podcasts. Maybe now that I'm running I should give it another shot. Good for you for finding a way to get your exercise and therapy done!

My new favorites are The Yarniacs. I also enjoy A Playful Day.

Second the Yarniacs. I also Enjoy Electric Sheep and CraftLit (new episodes of all of these downloading for this weekend's walks!)

I haven't listened to a podcast in a long time. Maybe it's time to revisit this activity.

I will have to check out those podcasts! Thank you for the great list! Knitting is a great exercise for improving your dexterity, as well as giving you the ability to express your creativity.

Thanks for sharing
