Day 131: Trying To Get My Exercise In

Kelly came home today and I wasn’t sure if I wasn’t sure how much time I was going to have for exercise so I tried to work some in throughout the day.  At work I did pushups in my cubical as well as half jumping jacks of which I did a total of 300 though out the day.   

Once home though we had time and decided to take the dogs for a walk around the neighborhood. I kept a semi brisk pace on another beautiful evening where the sun was setting; we had a gentle breeze and relatively low humidity. 

Our dog Chloe was panting pretty hard by the end.  She was pooped and I had worked up a little sweat so it was a nice thirty minute walk in addition to the pushups and 300 half jumping jacks.  I went from a day where I wasn’t sure I was going to have enough time to doing a nice little bit of exercise. 

Throughout this experiment of mine I have found that by being beholden to this blog I have found a way to do something active everyday so far.  While there have been days where I didn’t want to do anything thing I was motivated to get out and do something. 

Not only has this made me stronger I have found that when I move it improves my mood.  I just feel better.  Even on those days where I have felt like crap. 

Daily Recap:
Matt:  Pushups, 300 half jumping jacks, 30 Minute walk
Kelly: 30 minute walk.
