I'm Evolving
My aunt has always been into exercise and fitness. She's 20 years older than me, and looks 20 years younger than me! I remember when she first got fitness equipment from NordicTrack.com. She was using this machine, and she made it look so easy. I tried and wondered how she kept up! I guess I wasn't ready to have the right mindset yet.
I have a treadmill in my dining room and finally started using it a few years ago. I started running to try to lose weight. Only, it was cold out, so I'd jog around a big circle that went through my family room and dining room. I was also embarrassed to be seen trying! I started with part walk and jog, until I was running 40 minutes in a row. We finally got me a nice treadmill, but even after running for awhile, I didn't lose any weight. I didn't change my eating habits, and thought I could just run stuff off.
Now that I'm finally eating better, it's making a difference. My trainer says that 80% of the equation is what you put in your mouth. She's right, it's making a big difference for me. I'll have to check out Nordic Track again, and see if it would be easier for me now to use the equipment! Now I work with lots of machines and free weights at the gym. It's been an evolving experience!
