Confessions of a Thief

I am a thief. I am not only a thief, but I steal habitually. I can't help it. Fortunately, I don't steal things which would land me in jail. Let me explain.

I enjoy watching infomercials on tv. I seek them out. Sounds like I've gone off the deep end but, I watch the ones pitching exercise equipment or systems. They are showing off the routines being done with the equipment or the "new" style of movement.

While I watch, I get new ideas. I then incorporate them using available items. There is an infomercial for the fluidity bar. Looks like a nice piece of equipment and the movements done on the bar look helpful. You can do the same or similar movements using the back of a chair, the kitchen counter top, or anything similar. I've added five new exercises thanks to watching the fluidity infomercial.

I've gotten several more exercises from the P90X infomercial. The P90X system looks really intense and would get a person in shape. They do several exercises in ways I've never seen.

How many different ways do you exercise? Since the first of the year, I've kept a list of what I do and when I do it. I didn't realize how many different things I do until I wrote them down. Having the list has focused my attention on exercise and I haven't missed a day. It also lets me know if I am overdoing or not doing an exercise.

Make your own list. Keep track. It will help keep you focused and healthy.
