I've been exercising for 7 weeks now and I feel great, both mentally and physically, despite the uncomfortable current dramas trying to stress my life. I got myself to go by setting low expectations (just show up and do something) and a very long term goal of being physically fit in one year. Achieveable!

By now, I exercise about 8 hours a week because I realize it makes me happy and more productive.

Penelope, I couldn't agree more.

If someone were to ask me what my #1 secret to success is, I would honestly have to say it's the time I spend on the treadmill.

In addition to keeping me healthy, it gives me time to mull over ideas. Being the multi-tasker I am, I will watch the occasional webcast while putting in the miles. I've even attended meetings while on the treadmill – not ones I have to speak up during, of course!

Penelope, you've got a great blog, I find so many of the topics really hit home.

I'm going to forward this to my kids and maybe some others. Exercise is not just about weight, it's about energy, mental alertness and a positive outlook, not to mention getting (if you can do it that way) a refreshing break from your routine.

I'd also like to add, from personal experience, that exercise can be a substantial aid against burnout. And, by the way, you could also write a post, "Taking Active Measures to Avoid Burnout Is No Longer Optional", and exercise would have to be at the top of that list, too.

Thanks for your blog, I really enjoy reading it.

This post is right on the money for a number of good reasons which include
1)a sense of accomplishment
2)stress management benefits
3)preventative health care by improving/maintaining good health
4)improving brain function.

I regularly (weekly) look forward to the postings on my local newspaper web site from the local expert(Jim LaFountain). His articles cover the benefits of exercise in greater depth. The web site is http://www.uticaod.com/lafountain
One of my favorite and I think fascinating posts is at http://www.uticaod.com/lafountain/x751578845 regarding brain function enhancement.
Thanks Penelope for maintaining this web log and enabling comments to be made to dated articles.
