Just Thinking

As working out today, mind wandering, suddenly realized I was really moving on the elliptical. Forward, backward, random setting mode, and with the arm resistance or standing without hanging on. This hit home because just a few weeks ago working on it at all was barely doable. The old legs rebelled to much. It got the train of thought back to the very beginning. Last January walking on the treadmill and weight machines was it. So red faced and winded. As the time has gone on slowly adding time and intensity. Then trying new equipment or classes even if only a little at their start. With each new step in the mix gaining the targeted muscle and stamina to keep advancing. This is progress also. The weight and measurements are important but toning and strengthening also shows steps in the right direction. The body is still getting healthier just another way to mark it.
