Exercise

You know, I never thought in a million years that I would look forward to exercise. Don't get me wrong, there are things I would rather do, but on the whole I am learning to enjoy it. There are even times that I get frustrated when I can't go to the gym. i guess I'm learning to like the endorphin rush that comes with exercise.

Typically I start out with a 5 minute cardio warm up on the treadmill or bike. Next I do light weights focusing on toning my upper body. I usually throw in some ab work of some sort. Then I get on the treadmill and go for 40-45 minutes. Currently I am running one minute out of every five. I'm going to up it to two minutes out of five next week. When I am done, I stretch some and then go to the pool and the hot tub to stretch some more and relax a bit.

A full workout takes me 1.5 to 2 hours. If I'm in a hurry I modify and cut out the weights and pool time. Then I can trim it down to an hour.

I knocked out my workout this morning and believe it or not we do not have soccer practice or any meetings tonight. So...a peaceful night at home is on my horizon.

Peace,
Marc
