The Dreaded Exercise

I know this is totally revolutionary, but I've just realized that I don't have to do it all! I have come to this conclusion recently when I started doing small, short workouts in the morning before going to work. At the end of the summer and into the school year, I was really good about getting out and jogging and I finally felt like I was being effective in my workout. The only problem is, once I had a busy day or was too tired to jog 5 miles, I would just skip it altogether, and that got me nowhere. With the little things I've been doing in the morning I have seen a big improvement in the areas that I want, like toning my arms, etc. Plus the exercises are short and easy to remember, I don't have to do them in the same order, and I don't necessarily have to do them all every day, so it's a workout I can stick to. Just working out 10-15 minutes every morning makes me feel so good the rest of the day (as opposed to taking a half hour or more to do even my shortest run). I have found something that I think will work for me. It is very flexible.

My View of exercise has definitely changed. I'm so excited that I don't have to do it all!
