Blah. I had a reasonably steady exercise program last year. Most days I'd use some handy freeweights or eliptical machine at the gym and also bike/powerwalk (I hate running on a machine.) for 30-45 minutes.
I wasn't a big fan of it. I don't like exercising for the sake of exercising, but it did help me lose a few pounds and lower my cholesterol.
I basically quit after last year's holiday season due to stress and laziness. I have been pretty busy this summer and I just couldn't seem to fit it in, but I was somewhat active anyway.
Lately I decided I needed to get back on track. I liked what I was doing before and so last night I hit the stationary bike.
It wasn't too bad! I wasn't nearly as winded/tired as I expected, and though I broke a good sweat, it didn't seem that difficult. Only did 30 minutes, due to it being so late, but I could have easily done 45-60.
Nice thing is I can justify eating and drinking a bit more again!
I just wish I liked the process more. I'm ok at home watching TV listening to music, but I wish I liked jogging at all. Winters make it hard to do in Michigan too. I wish I had friends nearby who liked doing stuff like tennis, badmiton, pin pong, basketball, etc. I really like exercising if there is sport involved.
