Readers’ Workouts — February 18

By Joyweesemoll @joyweesemoll

Welcome to Readers’ Workouts, the weekly event where book lovers share workout stories, goals, successes, and challenges.

Poor weather and Saturday’s fall on the ice has me slightly behind schedule for my exercise this month. Working out, I think, helped me fall more gracefully with less injury than I would have managed without it. My daily exercise streak also gave me good instincts — rather than sit still and let everything stiffen up, I did lots of stretching. My wrist is a little swollen but no more pain and my bum feels about the same as after doing a lot of squats.

Do you find that exercise helps your body handle stresses better?
