Fitness Reaction Blog 1

So far I have been able to keep up with my FITT program without any problems. I read some peoples workout plans that include exercising 5 to 6 days a week and that for me is too much. I'm glad I kept my FITT program realistic because now its easy for me to complete. I choose to run on the treadmill instead of running outside or doing some other form of aerobic exercise is because if I did that I'm afraid I would lose motivation to continue. Its easier for me to have the same routine so it becomes a habit easily. Some problems I experienced with running on the treadmill is that it can become boring especially during the last 10 minutes but after realizing this I quickly thought of an awesome solution. I started reading while running on the treadmill, it took a little balancing to do both at first but now I'm used to it. Completing reading assignments for other classes while running on the treadmill let me multitask and it keeps me from getting bored. When I'm reading it doesn't feel boring at all. I think this is so because when I'm just running I tend to stare at the treadmills timer and after a while it feels like its taking forever to reach my 30 minute mark. :]
