Getting It Done Easily

Members Were Sparked

I hate exercising, so I placed my elliptical machine directly in front of the TV so in order to watch it I now have to get on the elliptical to workout which is working out pretty good for me.

Exercising is difficult for me. My calves start to hurt and turn to stone! I press on. To help me with going forward, I find a video or an article to play while I am working out. I use TextAloud to read articles and use natural voice so it's not a robot speaker. I feel like an expert is in the room and explaining things to me that I am now open to listen and hear. With my concentration on what I am hearing or seeing it helps me to press on. I have to do my work out about 10 minutes at a time due to a back injury but I get my workout done before the day is done and hear and see lots of information while I am doing it.
Thanks SP and those at SP!

Drinking water, eating within guidelines and exercise produce results. Do result producing activites and you get results.
