I think I wrote back somewhere that as a New Year resolution, I wanted to get more fit. I came to realize that after Sierra was born, I was absolutely doing no exercise whatsoever some days. Whereas before, it was unthinkable that anyone wouldn’t be able to get in 20 minutes of physical activity a day, I find myself in that position now that it’s the dead of winter, and I am no longer biking to and from work.
As a start, I’m involving Everett in some exercises like push ups and dips, easy things to do that don’t require any equipment. Every time I consider taking an elevator, I say to myself “fitness is a way of life” as opposed to something one can silo off and make a specific schedule for.
Since I started just a couple of months ago, I’ve seen some pretty good results surprising myself. Whereas I could probably do 30-40 pushups, I can now do sixty. I’ve doubled the number that I can do with Everett “helping.”
