Today was Day 5 of my renewed commitment to physical fitness. I like to mix it up, so I popped into my parents’ exercise room for a session with the recumbent bike.

As a general rule, I prefer regular bicycles: beach cruisers, specifically. Bicycles that remain in one spot frustrate me. When I run on a treadmill, I face the same challenge. 🙂

I overcome these frustrations by playing mind games with myself. On the treadmill, I set a destination for myself so that every mile under my belt is a mile closer to where I’ve decided to go.

For some reason, I don’t focus as well when I’m on a stationary bike.

But, I managed thirty minutes on a hill program. I feel like my thighs are related to Gumby. Haha.

Just wanted to share the “gym” atmosphere here today:

There’s something wonderful to be said for a workout room that comes complete with a wine cabinet. 🙂

Blessings to you all…
