Exercise log

Today was cardio day. I put in 3.1 miles on the treadmill today. My normal cardio routine goes like this.

1. Stretching to get loosened up.
2. 0.1 miles at 3 MPH to warm up
3. My workout distance at 5 MPH
4. 0.25 miles at 3 MPH to cool down

Today I did 2.25 miles as my workout distance. Instead of stopping at 2.6 miles when my cooldown distance, I kept on walking. I was enjoying my tunes and it felt good to walk, so I figured why the heck not just keep on going. Best part about today is no side stitch. I had a pretty bad one on Monday for some reason.

I never thought I would actually like to exercise, but I'm really glad that I made myself actually start doing it. It's an awesome feeling that's hard to describe. It's an emptiness in your brain and a sharp focus on the task at hand. It's refreshing mentally and physically. You'd think that you'd be tired afterwards, but you feel good and rejuvenated afterward.

If you've been thinking about exercising, I highly recommend just starting. You don't have to go all out and get some crazy gym membership or anything. Search youtube for home workout exercises. Most jobs will have a workout room, or you have a friend with equipment that you can use. you'll thank yourself for it.
