Lots of people are. I have always been active, even though a lot of my work is sedentary. Problem is that even when you are active and move a lot, even regular walking, you still lose muscle tone unless you are in an exercise regime.
If I make it to the gym tomorrow I will have completed a month the trice weekly workouts which contain aerobic and weight lifting. The Tumbleweed Rec Center fits me, full of normal people trying to stay in shape on a budget. Young and old, fat and not so fat.
We also got someones neglected treadmill for our bedroom which we are using on off days to burn some calories. This is all good and I feel better, sleep better, am seeing a pound or two less on the scale, and feel the tone returning in needed muscles.
So why do I have a moment of thinking about not going every time its scheduled? I am glad that I have made it 11, and then 12, and I am reupping for another month.

As I sit here trying to encourage myself to get ready for my aquatic arobics class I enjoyed reading your comments. I took 14 4 year olds to the apple orchard this morning. We baked apple tarts and then climbed aboard wagons to ride to the orchard to pick apples. We had a picnic. I am tired. I am not sedentary and I really don't want to go to my class. I have never experienced that mythical "high" that others describe. Working out just agravates my arthritis and makes me tired. I know I have to do it. why can't I enjoy it?
