Sweat It December 24, 2005
In order to get benefit from exercise, you really need to get your heart rate up and sweat. You’re not out for a stroll to the shops, you’re burning calories!
So I’ve started jogging a bit during my walks. I find if I walk for a few minutes to warm up, and then jog for a minute or two, it really gets my heart rate up. Then I walk for a bit to get my breath back, then jog for a bit, then walk again, and so on.
The only problem I’ve had with jogging is that my iPod is one of the big ones, and it’s a bit heavy and bounces around in my pocket. I’m worried I’m going to drop it. So I’ve made a deal with myself that I’ll buy one of the tiny iPod Shuffles once I get my weight under 100 kg. They’re not very expensive, and I think that’s a milestone worth celebrating, don’t you?
