Monday's Stats

First, I thought I'd share a couple of tips I learned from going to the gym on a regular basis.

1) Some days are DEFINITELY harder than others, but keep going, you will eventually feel better!

2) Tuck extra cords from the iPod speakers into your shirt. I usually follow this rule, but forgot today after 3 phone calls in a row. They get caught on your machine and get ripped out one ear at a time. Its quite surprising.

3) Listen to positive, peppy, I love life music. Otherwise it's a depressing work out and can slow you down.

4) Challenging yourself can be fun. Even if you do only a tenth of a mile more than last time it feels good knowing you did better than the last time.

5) Lifting weights forces the fat into a prettier shape when you turn it into muscle.
