exercise! exercise! each and every day

Looks like Brian and I are back on the exercise bandwagon. We started strength training again this evening. I call it ‘strength training’ rather than ‘lifting weights’ because we have one of those fancy Nordic Flex Gold machines, so we’re not really lifting anything–we’re just moving the pulleys, really.

Strength training is something we’ve done off and on since we moved into our house and bought the machine. Usually, we end up stopping exercising in the summer because there’s just too much going on and a lot of it is sort of like exercise–like gardening, landscaping, working on the house, chasing after Jake, etc. Well, it’s enough like exercise such that I don’t feel bad about not exercising in the summer. Last year, we had the shed to keep us in shape. Once it was done, we were supposed to start exercising again in October. October became November. November became December. And then it was the New Year. I don’t make New Year’s Resolutions, but I thought it was about time that we got back into our routine. I mean, it’s going to be summer before you know it.
