Unpredictable yet consistant...

This weather is so unpredictable yet this is expected; especially in the transition month of spring to summer which happens to be April. My exercising is going wonderful, this is something that I will continue to do well into my adult years. We only have 2 weeks left of school and then finals =]. I think that my ability to study for finals will improve drastically because my mind is more alert and if I continue to schedule my time wisely, I will have successful results. However, I'm going to try to keep up an exercise schedule during finals and see how my body responds.

Will Start the Run...

This week has been pretty wet so I've been exercising inside. I've been doing push-ups and sit-ups in the morning and before I go to bed. This weekend is supposed to be really nice, so I probably will be running outside. I don't know which route I will take yet so I'ma just run and see where I end up. I don't know how long I'm going to run because just because I have been working out doesn't mean that running will come easy. The only way to really be good in running is to run; there is no way around it so I will see how long I can go once I start. Should be an interesting experience.

Going to Move to Sunshine...

The exercise is going great!!! I feel great inside and out and I believe I've prepared my body enough so that I can run outside..again. I used to run track and running outside is amazing because it gives my body such a rush. However, it is very difficult trying to start back running once you have stopped and the cold months have kept me inside the gym. However, I decided to use the winter months to prepare me to run outside. Running with music is an option because I may want to listen to something other than life to keep me motivated and focused. It really will just depend on the mood I'm in.

This looks like a cool website to help strengthen your body. Even though its geared toward track n' field athletes; it looks interesting for obtaining information.

From the Inside...Out...

I exercised 3 times this week. I'm soo excited because now notice a significant difference when my body doesn't exercise. I feel sluggish but my body can carry me through the day. Everything I do feels stronger and more balanced from the physical aspect to the mental aspect. I typically exercise about 20 minutes everytime I go to the gym and I do push ups and sit ups in my room randomly. I'm continually trying to not eat un-healthy foods in my diet so that I can preserve my life from the inside out. Perserverce is key.

Noticing Some Progress...

Exercise is amazing. I feel better and think better. As for my bodies preference to exercise, my body doesn't have one or at least a noticeable one. Maybe more time will determine if that statement is true. However, I exercised this morning around 10am and I noticed a difference. As the day went on I had this weird mixed feeling. I was somewhat sluggish yet I was very much so energized. I know it sounds oxymoronic but overall; I wouldn't mind exercising in the morning; I just have to get up to do it. =]

I also tried eating pasta after exercising and I felt as if my body responded more healthily. I'm still learning about myself and while its hard at times but I'm staying positive because I know the end result will be worth it.

Change of Plans

I wasn't feeling well this whole week so my workout plan was shot. =[
However, I realized I actually healed better because I got alot of rest and took extra vitamin C. I don't think there was anything I could have done differently. I actually thought I needed to exercise to heal faster but according to "How To Be Fit" I actually was correct in giving my body extra rest.

According to "How To Be Fit", when you're sick, stress is added to your system, which creates body breakdown. This requires your body to use the nutrients you feed it to help release hormones in order to repair the damage.

By me getting more rest than usual, I actually sped up my healing process. Who would have thought that resting could do so much in the long run? Exercise should be back in my schedule sooner than I thought.

Is there a preference?

I ate healthier this week. Lots of citrus rich fruit mainly pineapple. I also got alot of sleep. I went to the gym 3 times this week and worked out for 30 minutes; I felt so refreshed afterwards. I'm going to experiment and see if my body has a preference for exercise: morning or evening. Even though one has to fit exercise into their schedule many people let it fall where it may but if your body seems to respond better after a certain time period then you should pay attention. So, we'll see if my body has a preference for staying in tip-top shape.
