It takes 21 days to make a habit, which is why I intend to do some form of workout for at least 21 days in a row. The intensity is not high enough to worry about injury and the amount of time spent is not long enough to feel guilty. At the end of week three I will reevaluate the number of workouts per week based on how physical therapy is going with my wrist.
I saw Bob Harper wearing a t-shirt on The Biggest Loser this past season that said:
It made sense to me and I think that it's a manageable schedule. As long as I don't take two days off in a row, I'm usually okay and will stick with my scheduled workout plan. If physical therapy goes well and my wrist is improving, then I feel like I can take my workouts from 7 days a week to 3 days on 1 day off. However, if I am working out less days per week then I will be upping the intensity of those workouts.
