It's good, I can march around the lake in the time it takes to listen to a New Order album and then get home and do sets of push ups. I also use my kindle to exercise my eyes. They move left and right hundreds of times each day which is immensely satisfying.
I have no interest in building myself or being a muscle Mary dwarf like Bilbo. I just want to know that I am doing just a little bit to make myself a more disciplined human being. Between 22 and 31 I completely ignored needing to be physical. That is a very long time and so when people criticize me for power walking I don't mind because I know that it is enough for now. This morning I was walking so quickly that I was almost at a canter.
My previous post was a man only half way reformed, I am doing far better now. I might even start light jogging soon.
And that book idea is something that I should keep on the back burner as it is too ambitious for now.
