in Fitness and Exercise
Yesterday I went to a picnic, One of my sisters daughter and son had a birthday, So she rented a park to have a party for the two of them. At one point, My Mom and our youger sister took off for a walk around the area.
Being a LOVER of walk taking, I shouted at them to "WAIT UP!" But they did not hear me. and I was in the middle of getting my shoes on. By the time I was done, my daughter and I could SEE them, but they where far enough away that I would have to run to catch up with them.
So I took off running and caught up with them. It took about a minute.
To my suprise, I was not too winded, Yeah I was panting a little but, I was STILL able to talk with them with out gasping for air. I was pretty proud of myself.
Yeah I am still waiting for the time when I can take off running for a minute and not have it bother me at ALL. But for right now little steps. :bigsmile:
My point in this story is, You might be lifting weights and walkingor running on your treadmills, and thinking to yourself. WHAT IS THE POINT?! I am not getting ANYWHERE with all of this. But your ARE and when your body is called into action, you will notice just how far you have indeed come. :bigsmile: :flowerforyou:
