For the Love of Exercise

Monday, February 22, 2010, 3:12pm

I've been exclaiming lately, "I love to sweat!"

I posted that on Facebook the other day, via my sparkpeople account, and a young man had the audacity to write back, "Women don't sweat! They have perfume!"

I wrote back, "Not in this century, buddy!"

I was surprised to get that kind of pushback from a young-looking man (young as in 25-ish). We aren't in the 19th century, buddy! Cheesh!

Hey, I love to sweat. Once I realized that that's what I like about exercise, I could go for it. Like today! I'm proud to say I did 35 minutes on my Nordic track, with arms going most fo the time!

If I walk the neighborhood, though, I don't get my sweat, not at my regular pace. I guess that means I'll have to pick up the pace next time I go out there!

My body is craving more exercise. I've been doing well at twice a week, at doing sweaty aerobics. But, I realized last night that my body wants more. So our goal (my body and I!) is now three times a week! I am so happy to have my love of exercising back!
