Gymtricks

I used to go to the gym once a week to try and keep fit. It was a great success,- I'd work out for not quite an hour, then hang out in the sauna and jaccuzzi for another hour, gazing absent mindedly into the tv screen overhead.. and then to top it off I'd go and eat a nice piece of cake in the cafeteria..- nothing like regular exercise. (!)

Well,- these fitness things just dont work for me. Its not that I dont like to move about,- I love riding, dancing, rowing, cycling, roller scating..ice scating,- well, I like it all, really. But when it comes to doing it regularly it just soon bores me.. So I end up doing something else instead.

Now I seem to have solved this problem. I have found a little house to live in with a big garden. I am heating with wood in Winter, and shunting all that wood around keeps me moving. Now that its Spring, I am already painting the garden furniture and soon I'll have to dig the veggie patches, trim the hedges, and then all the lawn mowing starts again.. Not to mention cleaning out the pond, turning the compost and spreading it out.

I have plans to build a patio, or move some of the large rocks that are placed here and there, and a few bushes too.. but frankly, for that I will get help.

So you see, I have found a way around my enertia problem, I tricked myself into having to exercise, by living in a home that demands much work. So even I will move about a bit now and again..
