Exercising is the best method to release all those inept anger and sucked down emotions. Not like i never knew that, but i never really think about it until it actually takes place. I find myself smiling a little wider after all my sweat sessions. I have a mentally draining job (its not easy keeping teenagers in line) and i forgot how wonderful exercise made me feel.
Pre-exercising era; I dreaded the idea of going to the gym. I was already exhausted as it is at the end of each work day. Now, i realize i was wrong all along about the idea i had stuck in my head that i would feel even more exhausted after going to the gym. Wrong. I feel amazingly content every time afterwards. It is the best ending to a long day. I sleep more comfortably and have a more easier time falling asleep. That has done wonders with helping me wake up each day for work.
Right after exercising, you get a wave of emotions, ranging from self-satisfaction to happily light-headed. Yes, there is such a thing as a natural high. No substance needed except for your two legs.
Speaking of two legs, I just started following this amazing running program. I am not much of a runner and I cannot, cannot keep up my stamina for a good hour of running. Back in my college days, I took a jogging class and by the end of year, I was able to run for an hour and lose track of time. My mother drove around in her van looking for me and asked me if i realized i was gone for more than an hour running. I felt so good, knowing that i was able to last that long. Now, that stamina is long gone but getting it back is still possible.

The program is set up in three workouts a week. The first week (which i am on now) asks you to power walk for five minutes then alternate between walking for 90 seconds and running for 60 seconds. Time flies when you do that.
