I need to exercise more. Or rather, I need to exercise. I should take the “more” out of the previous sentence. I’ve been really lazy….I think I’m metamorphising into a lump of lard.
Thing is, in the morning it’s just too early to exercise. I drag myself out of bed between 6-6.30 every morning to get ready for work. To wake up any earlier to exercise is simply inhumane.
But there seems to be no other time to exercise. After work, it’ll be late. Either that, or I’ll be out with friends. So I end up not doing anything, which is terrible.
And I don’t want to join a gym either. Seems that everyone’s a member of some gym. I hate gyms ‘cos it’s such a sterile place. Just reminds me of the office again, ‘cos it’s all indoors. Stuck within four walls. Blah. And running on a treadmill just reminds me of a pet hamster/rat running in its wheel.
I went swimming last night though. It was very refreshing. I enjoy swimming. I love the water and how it just seems to rejuvenate me when I glide through it. I’m a water sports kinda gal. I wished I could do more of it. You know, things like water-skiing, sailing, diving etc….unfortunately these sports are all very expensive. *grumble grumble*
I miss the sun too. I haven’t been getting much of it these days. I love the feel of the sun’s rays on my skin. Unfortunately, work hours make it difficult for me to catch any sun. I’m becoming so pale! Eeeks! I’m a far cry from my junior college days when I was so fit and tan because of my training for the dragonboat and canoeing team. I’ve never reached the same level of fitness ever since.
Now I’m thinking of taking tennis lessons. I really need to learn how to hit the ball properly, especially when it comes to my backhand. That’s practically non-existent. Some outdoor sport would be good. I have enough of the aircon and recycled air in the office.
What I need is an exercise buddy. That way, I’ll have more motivation to exercise. I realise I hate exercising alone. Anyone needs an exercise buddy, or knows of anyone who needs one or is interested to have one???
