Get out of your cage and exercise!

Exercise

Do you like running, jumping, swimming, biking and/or rollerblading? If you enjoy any or all of these, then you must enjoy exercising. And you and I(and so many others) have something big in common.

And as mentioned before, summer in the Moultrie County sports dept. slows down a bit, but that didn't mean things got too close to a trickle here at the sports desk. Rather, that's when the Shape Up Moultrie summer exercise series came in handy, a six-part piece about what we can do to keep ourselves in shape in the summer months and beyond. I hope you enjoyed it and gained some insight.

I also hope you never do any fad diets again. We all know fad diets when we start them - they're quick and easy. I hope you read this week's piece about nutrition, it was my favorite, as family M.D. Volney Willett spelt out how to eat healthy, and nutritionist Holly Harris slammed it home with some honest advice - it takes time to see a difference.

As my girlfriend told me, this has been great for me, because it's as though I've had my own personal trainer for the past six weeks. I've taken this stuff to heart, running regularly, including my first 5K a few weeks ago, Eating better(hello bananas!!!), biking(though, only twice. My girlfriend and I tried biking at 7:30 a.m. and haven't tried it again since), thinking about swimming(I've thought about it a lot!), and much more.

I hope you've felt the same. Please, tell me what you have thought of these. And if you haven't read them, tell me what you think about anything...whether it be what you're having for lunch, who your favorite character from Family Matters was, or what your favorite grade was in school. And if you have read them, you can answer those questions, too.

Hello Mr. Rennels,

Thanks for GRINDING it OUT! I'm a first time commenter but a big fan of your blog.

Did you see this? Exercise is soon-to-be obsolete (in mice).

I think I will just stick to being fat and healthy.
