AN EXERCISE IN EXCERCISE

I can't do it. I'm a disciplined person. I get up everyday at 5:00 and write through the day, usually finishing between 6 and 7PM. Bravo. That's discipline. I used to go to the gym daily and swim. Then I started to feel that going, swimming, dressing, etc, took too much time away from writing. I quit that gym and joined Curves, the 30 minute workout, 5 blocks from my house.
That should be the happy ending. I get up, I do my tweets, WLC, Triberr, answer email, go to the gym, come back, write. But suddenly, out of the blue, has come a major resistance to working out.
We have an elliptical at home and a bow flex unit. No. I won't do them. I could walk my puppy who would love me even more for doing so. Nope. Can't. Dance around the house? Do yoga? No, sorry, not today.
My favorite part of exercising is the part where I get to say goodbye as I leave. Hmm. What does a person do who, in theory wants to excercise, but doesn't do it?
I was going to make myself go this morning. First, at 7:30, then 7:45, then 8. It is now 8:01. What's a women to do?
Perhaps in a follow up, I'll be able to say, "Hi, I'm just back from the gym." But for now, I'm thinking I'll go at 8:15, or maybe not.
PS: It's 10:21 now. Nope. Didn't go. :(

As the old saying goes, exercise is like banging your head against the wall. It feels so good when you quit.

Right now you don't want to hear from me, for I am one of those for whom physical activity is a blessing. I just like moving around. But now the big deal is, it is the only time I get out side, and I can "write" while I do it. As I run, I'm putting pieces together. Maybe if you find an exercise that allows you to continue to write, you'll see it as a boon rather than bane. Now, I'll just going off quietly before you throw a rock at me. :)

Gym training is very important before starting gym exercise because lacking of knowledge and improper training may cause some serious injuries.

This is perfect blog for anyone who is looking for topics like this! Weight loss increases growth factors that help create new nerve cells, increasing chemicals in the brain that help cognition.

Yes to do the exercise in a routine basis is some time very hectic and getting bored. It is very important to change the routine and do something else.
