Correct.

As for the routines before my accident I never had a routine I did whatever I felt like that day I hit the gym, the only routine was I went to the gym regularly. I really don't want to start a routine now with getting back into the gym because I'll get bored and that will make it easy to quit going, at least for me anyway. My workouts used to consists of maybe a day of racket ball, maybe weights the next, toss in some swimming, steppers, etc,I just kept a variety going.

I think you misunderstood my problem with the "routine-mentality." There are so many pre-packaged "routines" floating around out there nowadays that many people get sucked into the rigidity of these things. "Oh no!!!! I did incline bench press for 8 reps instead of flat bench press for 12 reps like the routine calls for."
That's my issue.
There are no programs that covers the needs for everyone. And there are no routines that will work forever. As the body changes, so should the routine. And our bodies change at very individual rates.
So it comes down to understanding the basics and making a routine work for YOU.
As much as I'm not a fan of pre-packaged programs.... I'm also not a fan of simply "doing whatever" one feels like. You have to build upon something. Some structure is required.
Doing something is always better than doing nothing..... ideally that *something* has a plan.
