Fffffffffffffff..............

That is the sound of blowing the dust off my treadmill.  I know it has been over a year since I used it last.  I prefer to exercise outside, feeling a nice breeze, and taking in the beauty of my surroundings.  Unfortunately, day light savings does not always cooperate.  Since it's dark when I go to work and come home, it's not always safe for me to exercise where I enjoy it most. 
I gave up the gym membership years ago and purchased a treadmill at a yard sale.  I used it a lot when I first got it, until it reminded me of my gym days- trying not to stare at the timer and combating the stuffiness of inside air when my need for oxygen is greatest. Since I forewent working out with a trainer this year, I decided to give my treadmill a new lease on life and give myself a new attitude towards stationary cardio.

Keys To My Success!

1. Exercise in the morning, when I'm in the best mood.  Get it out of the way before any distractions or other responsibilities look more enticing.
2. Turn off heater and turn ceiling fan on high- breathe..........
3. Make a new playlist.
