:cheers:

Lately, I've been feeling a little unhealthy... So, today, I did something about it.

I put on my shorts and tennis shoes, grabbed a bottle of water, and started on our elliptical machine.

I did 20 minutes and wasn't even breathing that hard.

I feel good.....

5. 20 minutes? Good for you, my dear MMR!

As long as you take it easy, and get plenty of fluids into you on the days you exercise, you will continue to feel well!

20 minutes is plenty long enough to start with!

I wish I'd started doing some serious exercise at your age......

It's very hard to lose the weight at mine!

9. Good for you!

I was really good about going to the student rec center last semester. This semester, not so much.

Oh well, summer's just around the corner. I tend to exercise a lot more often then.

11. I love the elliptical machine!

It's the most efficient way to burn calories, and far easier on your knees than the treadmill. You can get a great workout in 20 minutes. Be sure to drink lots of water. You'll feel good for the rest of the day!
