Interesting

Before Christmas I barely walked more than absolutely necessary to get from one place to another. I was not sick, I just thought I was too busy to spend time walking for the exercise of walking. I need to remind myself often that the benefits of walking are more than physical. The benefits include stress reduction (which may be considered a mental benefit), blood pressure and blood sugar reduction (even if it is normal), as well as weight loss. And, sometimes walking helps one to think more clearly.
Even though I walked little after Thanksgiving, after Christmas I spent a couple days in the gym. There I spent some time on the treadmill and lifting weights. One day I started the workout with about 10 minutes on the treadmill then about 30 minutes lifting weights then finished with about 15 minutes on a stationery bicycle. I had hoped to get in better physical condition for riding my bicycle, but by the time I got to the bicycle I was nearly exhausted.That is why I only spent 15 minutes on the bicycle and it is nothing like riding a REAL bicycle outside.
I did not get back to the gym until after the new year began. Too often, lately it has been just hit or miss - kinda like this blog posting. But I will try to get more consistent - with both.
What keeps you from getting the winter blues?
