It’s always important to wear good shoes when you exercise. Some people take this for granted, but it makes a big difference in the health of your feet and in your workout routine. I have been pushing off buying new shoes for my exercise routine because they are definitely expensive. But, I finally gave in. Now, when I do my walking routine, my crunchless abs with my Bender Ball and the rest of my routine, I feel great about it.
My new shoes are incredibly comfortable and they fit great. And, I know that I’m doing something important for myself while also taking care of my body. And that’s worth the cost of the shoes to me!
I live in a very beautiful part of my town, near a forest and a small, hilly, uninhabited area. Sometimes people come and make picnics here or just come for a nice, quiet walk. This is the place I like to go for my morning runs. Yesterday morning I had a little extra time because my first meeting was scheduled a bit later than usual, so I took advantage of that breathing space and first did a crunch-less abs workout with my Bender Ball, and then I went to the hill and ran for about 20 minutes. I am so glad I did. The air wash fresh and cool, the sun was just rising over the distant lake, and there were some deer going for a morning stroll. I felt really alive and refreshed and ready for anything my day might bring.
I felt so good the entire day that I even did a short, 10 minute work-out with my Bender Ball right before lunch, and then I went for a walk with my wife after dinner. I even did another 5 minutes with my Bender Ball before hitting the sack. By the time I got into bed I felt like a million dollars.
Sometimes in the morning I go for a short run, maybe about 15 or 20 minutes max. I never believed I would start running again, but because my
Bender Ball gave me the confidence in myself that I could actually change my appearance, weight and the way I feel about myself, I decided to really take the plunge and start a more intensive work-out routine. And I am so glad I did. Especially now, it is so nice to be outdoors observing how the seasons are changing. Since I sit in an office all day long, my morning run really brings some fresh air, good smells and interesting sights into my life. And just think, I have my Bender Ball to thank for making me realize what my real potential was.
