Day 5 - Becoming a habit

I was up and moving at about 6:20am this morning and it was really much easier. Could it be that this is becoming a habit?

It may be too early to tell, but it sure seems like this is getting easier to do. Since it is such a short period of time it just does not seem that intimidating... and I really do end up feeling better for the rest of the day. A combination of knowing I actually "exercised", and of course my body is actually responding to the workouts.

Today's exercises was calves and glutes.. not really areas that most "guys" would work on. The glute exercise was some sort of kick-up move - on the ground on all fours you kick you up in the air behind you. I really was having a little trouble getting this down and my wife asked "haven't you ever done this in aerobics?" I responded with "I really saw aerobics as more of a spectator sport growing up". (ba da bum)

I should note here that I am not really a sexist and my wonderful wife understands this about me... so she did not even hit me that hard (I was bruised, but she never broke the skin with her repeated blows).

After learning how to do this new "aerobics" move, we finished up and went about our days.. knowing that we were one 8 minute interval closer to being in shape.
