Fitness Tricks
Wednesday, January 15, 2025
When launched on your pathway to fitness,
And you are your only eye witness—
Will you follow through?
Do what you must do?
Be wary of moving to quit-ness!
What’s in your bag of tricks?
I was thinking about my stationary bike goal.
Already I recognize that some days,
I'd rather not make time for that riding.
It's pretty easy to rationalize
Something else as more important.
Right now, the log sheet of pedaled miles
Is prompting me to
Pedal, write miles, be glad
To be on track.
Seeing the entries
Add toward my goal is enough, now.
Down the line, I'll probably pull out
Bag of tricks.
You know the sort...
Pedal before you get to open "exciting" messages.
Reading some riveting story that
Can be read only while pedaling.
Story pulling you back to the bike seat.
Have a buddy
a phone call
a reward...
Whatever works for you.
Reward: Chair seat re-caned by hand. Beautiful work!
Let's each know that your pathway to fitness
Is worthwhile.
Keep at it.
It matters.
