ZOMG EXERCISE O:

ZOMG EXERCISE O:

We own a treadmill, and yesterday, after looking disapprovingly at my flabby tummy I decided to give it a go.

I got changed into trainers ("sneakers" to all you yanks), shorts, top, fetched my water bottle and my iPod with its speakers. I also tied up my hair and put on one of those big stretchy hair bands to stop it falling into my eyes.

No mistake, our garage kinda freaks me out. :XP
It's cold and creepy. >.> But I braved the terrifying abyss and hopped on the treadmill.

It was like "Exercise For Idiots". I selected a "calorie countdown" and tapped in 200kcal. Then I turned on my iPod and pressed the picture of the little person jogging. So I jogged. After 20 minutes I'd burned the 200kcal (and was pretty puffed from all that jogging)....

... but the reccomended daily exercise is 30 minutes, so I walked for 3 more minutes and then jogged for 7 minutes. It was kinda off putting when the large hairband fell off and was whizzed onto the floor after 25 minutes, and hair started falling into my eyes, but I managed to ignore it.

Near the end I could see a bright light and thought I wouldn't make it - I haven't exercised in months - but, huzzah, I did.

And I felt pretty chuffed about it too.
I hope you lot don't mind if I record my exercising achievements here - I'd like to try the treadmill again today.

:oops: <--- that's me huffing and puffing. xD

Ohh I used to have one of those treadmills. I didn't use it much though *kicks self*

I'm planning on buying a new one once we get back to America, or at least going to the YMCA or something to work out xD

Have fun! Lol

They're nice to use because they count how many calories you've burned, so it's rather satisfying. Also if you don't have the confidence to wobble in public they're rather good. xD

Haha, have you ever played DDR before? The dance game? There's an exercise mode where it tells you how many calories you've burned too, and it's actually quite fun xDD

But dancing is hardly my forte!
