On exercise

I don’t like working out. Over the years, I have tried and failed many times in creating and maintaining an exercise routine.

I've tried:

Yoga

Pilates

Recumbent bike

Jillian Michaels video (yikes)

Running

Currently, I am walking. I decided to walk in preparation for an upcoming vacation that will require lots of walking. Also known as Disney World…the not so magical part being the hours spent traversing big sidewalks and standing in long lines. Last time I was there, I was dead on my feet after lunch. I’m hoping to do better this time.

All of my work out attempts have taken place at home. Last year when I tried running, I had some success because it took place outside. Outside, the air is fresh, the scenery changes, and I see other people. The only problem is cold weather, but winter IS over for now...

Walking = same as running, just slower

I’m up to three miles, with a goal of five. Maybe (just maybe) I'll run again after that.
