The best thing about exercise, and this is nothing newsworthy, is its ability to adjust attitude. It magically cleans up all that garbage I am capable of finding within. I wasn't sure if this foldaway bike would become just another piece of furniture to hang a sweater on, but after today I feel reassured. I used to go for fast walks in the park, but I always felt repelled by the morning rush traffic between here and there -somehow more intolerable in morning than evening. And then I was always distracted by the park itself, I could never stick to my practice, and time passed, and then it was late. The bike -I just get into the sweat gear, get on for 40 minutes, then jump in the shower, all in an hour.

Brilliant, Frank! Well done.
ReplyDeleteI agree, what I had not taken into account when I started the same sweaty endeavour was this elimination of psychological shit.
Says the woman who skipped her work out today :/
Even Betsy, who runs in 0 degree minnesota winters, skips every now and then. Be kind to yourself, sweat tomorrow.
Deletethe answer to nearly every woe is, unfortunately, exercise. good for you.
