I am officially starting my 5-day a week exercise regimen à la Seventeen magazine today. If there is one thing that magazine does, it is provide very useful health information. I found the perfect exercise routine for me, which meets pretty much all the basic requirements of a balanced exercise plan- it includes a variety of cardiovascular activities as well as a variety of strengthening activities. I'll thank my required health/personal wellness course for making me aware of the importance of exercise and keeping it balanced.

Usually the only motivation for some one to exercise is to lose weight. For some reason though, weight loss has obviously not been a big enough motivation for me, seeing as how I have remained sedentary for most of my life. Well thanks again to that health course, because I have found my motivation- I refuse to let my body and BRAIN deteriorate before my time is up in life. I will exercise because I don't want to get Alzheimer's and forget my children and grandchildren. I will exercise because don't want to continue down the path of absent-mindedness and forgetfulness that hinders everything I do, to the point where I am the utmost ditz incapable of doing the simplest task without complication and confusion. I will exercise because I want to be able to complete my career and retire on MY terms. I will exercise because I want to be sharp, quick-thinking, and physically fit if an emergency (perhaps even an endangered life) arises at any point in my life which would require great mental or physical strength, and immediate problem-solving skills.

There are MANY reasons to start making physical activity a habit as soon as possible. I have luckily found those reasons out and I plan on staying true to my plan. I'm sorry if this has been a super long and boring post, but I needed to make a statement somewhere somehow, to set it in public writing to make my plans and reasons irrefutable.
Thank you for being patient! I wish you all the best of health for your entire future!
