    What's Wrong With Me????

    I don't get it. I never used to exercise. I posted a couple of days ago about buying an exercise DVD, and being able to do some of it. Well, this morning I found myself getting out of bed at 6:45 and by 7:15 I had that thing in the DVD player and was going through the routine. When my daughter got out of bed at 8, she asked me what I was doing so early. I feel so good about myself right now -- I actually did all 41 minutes of the video! I didn't do it very well, but I did do it all!

    Then this evening, I did 15 more minutes on the exercise bike while watching TV. Like I said, what's wrong with me?

            Congratulations! Yes. As your heart gets into better shape it can pump harder and more efectively. SO..... you have to work it harder to make it pump faster. Like any muscle the more you exercise it, the stronger it gets. Think about how hard it was to do that first set of say bicep curls. Bet you felt "the burn" pretty quickly. And now? Slice of pie to do what you had a hard time doing at first.
            Also, check your resting heart rate. I'll bet it is lower now because each pump of your heart is stronger and can more more blood. On top of that, if your fat ratio is down, your body volume is down as well. Less area for your blood to have to cover. Less distance for your heart to have to pump it. Congratulations again!

            Also, congrats to all who have been bitten by the exercise bug. LOL ain't endorphins a wunnerful thang?!

              What a great post - I love it when people start to notice a difference in their attitude to exercise - it doesn't take any time at all, huh? The endorphins get addictive (as does the retreating waistline!!)

              Best of luck with your new healthy WOE, it won't be long till you're breezing through that video!

                      Hi, Glam,
                      I hope you can exercise with that case, and will be up to a full-scale exercise program in no time.

                      I'm finding that I need to rest a day between exercise sessions. I have bad arthritis as well as the achilles tendon thing, and if I try to do much two days in a row, the knees don't hold up. Hopefully, muscle conditioning will fix this problem quickly.

                      I've ordered another couple of videos to do in between. That way, I'm not overusing the same body parts two days in a row.

                      Well, off to the video!
