Fifty situps, Fifty lunges... push ups?

When I was young I lost 40 lbs. I won't say that it was all healthy, but I did have a nightly exercise routine that I would do no matter what time I went to bed. It included some stretches, sit ups, push ups, leg lifts and a few other moves (a la Flash Dance, Jane Fonda, Olivia Newton John). Again, it was nothing major, but it kept health and fitness on my mind, every day. I could always say I did something.

So now I am assessing what has worked in my life; adapt it and bring it back. A routine such as this is doable. 5-10 minutes nightly is not be a big deal - heck I spend lots more time procrastinating... Stretches and then 50-50-50 (situps, lunges and pushups, if my poor arm ever feels better). I am going to see if I can make this a habit once again.
