Exercise Routine

I think that I may have finally established an exercise routine!  Yesterday marked my first week of dedicated exercise. 

After many attempts, I think I may have finally found something that works.  I usually get bored, and exercise is just not fun for me.  I have started listening to my audio books while exercising.

This has been a source of motivation for me.  I love audio books!  I listen to them while in the car, and sometimes at home.  They are great to listen to while getting ready for the day and doing housework.  I have also started listening to them while I cook, since I don't have an open kitchen with access to the living area. 

My husband, Jon, has also been a very good influence on me.  As long as I have known him, he has had a regular exercise routine.  He has even gotten more strict with it, since he was having blood pressure issues.  His blood pressure has gotten much better, but he still makes sure he gets his exercise.

I have been doing 30 minutes on the treadmill.  I have 6 laps by then which equals to a mile and a half.  On Saturday, I started using the weights on my arms to give myself some upper body exercise.  I do this for about 5 minutes, because I don't want to over do it.

I am really hoping that I can stick with this program.  I hope to start seeing results real soon.
