I enjoy my cardio so much! I'm not sure why, but I've always been that way. I am finding that returning to the gym and doing more than walking and hiking has been a real visceral pleasure.
If you ever go looking for something new to try, I'm really enjoying the feeling of a low-impact pilates routine which uses a resistance band (long swathes of stretchy stuff). I bought a DVD and use it from my computer every couple of weeks. There's a good feeling to be had from working against the band, and since you're holding it, you control the resistance and can increase or decrease the intensity.
I definitely find that time devoted to exercise makes me far more likely to go out and do other active things, and I hope you have a similar experience. (And with that, I need to get ready to head out on today's hike! Jamaica Bay, here I come!)
Miscellaneous. Eclectic. Random. Perhaps markedly literate, or at least suffering from the compulsion to read any text that presents itself, including cereal boxes.
