It&#8217;s too easy to get out of the habit, to tell myself that I need to do computer work instead, or that my yard work constitutes a workout. When I do the gym first thing in the morning before I go into the office, that lets my work day flow more freely and it&#8217;s a more productive and satisfying day. And my life is all about what satisfies me. I&#8217;m sticking to the treadmill this week, not attempting the elliptical since it wore more out quickly last week. I worked arms, back, shoulders and core. It gets easier each time I do it. I feel worn out for an hour afterward but drinking water recupes me quickly. The head cold last month kicked my butt. I had fun bouncing on the man&#8217;s trampoline rebounder this week. I like running in place on it. I want to get one with a stabilizer bar. I&#8217;ve also been playing with my resistance bands at home, so at night my arms sing a happy song. \u00a0<a href=\"%20http:\/\/greatist.com\/fitness\/resistance-band-exercises\">33 Resistance Band Exercises You Can Do Literally Anywhere<\/a>. I&#8217;ve had a set of these hanging over my door and finally pulled them down to use this week. I&#8217;ve got two sizes and they give a decent workout. I do three sets of 15 reps working each muscle, in a loop.<\/p>\n<p>RELATED:<a href=\"http:\/\/horizonsmagazine.com\/blog\/?p=39745\"> I score a HealthRider Cardio Rider from a pal<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/horizonsmagazine.com\/blog\/?p=39701\">Time to get back in daily workout mode<\/a><\/p>\n<div id=\"s-share-buttons\" class=\"horizontal-w-c-circular s-share-w-c\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.facebook.com\/sharer.php?u=http:\/\/horizonsmagazine.com\/blog\/i-feels-good-to-be-back-in-the-gym-for-regular-workouts\/\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Share to Facebook\" class=\"s3-facebook hint--top\"><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/twitter.com\/intent\/tweet?text=I feels good to be back in the gym for regular workouts&url=http:\/\/horizonsmagazine.com\/blog\/i-feels-good-to-be-back-in-the-gym-for-regular-workouts\/\" target=\"_blank\"  title=\"Share to Twitter\" class=\"s3-twitter hint--top\"><\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/plus.google.com\/share?url=http:\/\/horizonsmagazine.com\/blog\/i-feels-good-to-be-back-in-the-gym-for-regular-workouts\/\" target=\"_blank\"  title=\"Share to Google Plus\" class=\"s3-google-plus hint--top\"><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/shareArticle?mini=true&url=http:\/\/horizonsmagazine.com\/blog\/i-feels-good-to-be-back-in-the-gym-for-regular-workouts\/\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Share to LinkedIn\" class=\"s3-linkedin hint--top\"><\/a><div class=\"pinit-btn-div\"><a href=\"\/\/www.pinterest.com\/pin\/create\/button\/\" data-pin-do=\"buttonBookmark\"  data-pin-color=\"red\" title=\"Share to Pinterest\" class=\"s3-pinterest hint--top\"><\/a><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<script type=\"text\/javascript\" async defer src=\"\/\/assets.pinterest.com\/js\/pinit.js\"><\/script><a href=\"mailto:?Subject=I%20feels%20good%20to%20be%20back%20in%20the%20gym%20for%20regular%20workouts&Body=Here%20is%20the%20link%20to%20the%20article:%20http:\/\/horizonsmagazine.com\/blog\/i-feels-good-to-be-back-in-the-gym-for-regular-workouts\/\" title=\"Email this article\" class=\"s3-email hint--top\"><\/a><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It feels good to be back in the gym, doing more than just a quickie.
