I arise at 4:15 every morning in order to get a little exercising in, a shower, some study, and breakfast prior to leaving for work. I am a calisthenics guy - push ups, sit ups, crunches, etc. I don't like to exercise but I know I need to - boy, do I. You know, exercise wouldn't be so bad if it didn't hurt so much to do.
I used to like to try to get a run in occasionally, too. Now, I didn't say that I liked to run; I said that I used to like to try to get a run in. However, arthritis has halted some of that. Nevertheless, exercise is something that I find essential to body and mind, especially body.
Today's word is an anonymous quote, which says, "Laughing is one of the best exercises, it's like internal running. You can do it almost anywhere, and it is always better with a friend."
Ever laugh so hard it hurt? I certainly have. Those times usually come at the expense of me doing something really stupid or from watching someone I know do something really stupid. Laughing is really good exercise...the oxygen transfer, the muscle contractions, but most especially the mind-clearing that it does. There seems to be nothing that a good belly laugh can't cure.
Look, exercise is never going to be a lot of fun. If it is, you really need to get some help. But, a good laugh makes good exercise. Let's get out there and get some guffaws!
Be Blessed,
Mickey T
