Exercise

So, I've recently decided that I should start exercising more. For one thing, I need something to kill time (depression and unemployment are a bad mix. Hopefully, the latter will change soon), and for a second thing, I've found that I've lost a lot of the stamina that I used to have (I never had much, but a short hike shouldn't wind me). However, I have no idea how to form an exercise routine. Hilariously, I found a website off of fandom_secrets on lj, Nerd Fitness. It does a really job of laying out basic routines that one can do at home. Admittedly, the warm-up I did was enough to knock me down, but that's a goal. One of the things I really like about the site is that it frames exercise in terms of an RPG, and tries to create a similar system of small goals that have you thinking to yourself "Just a little further..."

I'm writing this post because hopefully, it will be an extra bit of motivation to stick with this.
