One of the things I have been working on this summer is to take better care of myself physically. I have given up all nicotine, over 5 weeks now so I am very happy about that. And the week I quit that, I began exercising like gangbusters. At least it was for me. I think I may have over done it some because my body is simply not used to that. I have toned it back some so that I can build myself up better.
I try to walk every day. It does not always happen, but I do try to do at least 5 days per week. And I feel that is a good base for me, a good foundation. My terrible cardio performance is actually what got this all started. There are so many things I want to be able to do in life and if I don't have good lung capacity, those things are not likely to happen.
On top of the walking, I have been doing aerobics, tai chi, free weights and boxing. I'm trying to be well rounded in my exercising. There is a lot for me to learn but I am determined to live a better life and feel better through exercise. If I can give up nicotine, which I was not sure I would be able to do, then I can do this as well! This is only the beginning!!
