Exercises While Reading

I get really antsy when I’m reading and really need to finish, but I also need to move around and get exercise. These are also good for people who are studying for school and don’t have enough time to go to the gym (or do not have a machine at home).

  • Leg Lifts (lying on your side; or the lying on your back versions; also while sitting)
  • Squats (this is my favourite)
  • Plank Hover
  • Smaller Weights (barbells; just switch sides every 10 reps or such)
  • Walking (30 + minutes, good pace)
  • Steps (walk up and down a set of stairs) 

Stretches are a lot easier to do while reading. :)

Elliptical

Today I decided it was time to dust him off and remove all my drying clothes. Time to climb aboard, possibly with a book. I think Elliptical is reluctant to let me in/on again. He’s feeling abandoned from the last time.

But I don’t know how to tell Elliptical that these types of relationships don’t last forever anyway. Besides that, Elliptical is resentful at being shared, unevenly, between the four of us at home. He’s feeling used.

Then I tell Elliptical if he’s being used doesn’t that make his existence relevant? I’m not sure he liked that answer so I climbed on anyway and told him to bear through it until I got what I wanted from him.

In any case, I need to get a new bike, so Elliptical can go suck it.
