Aerobics Isn't Just For Your Heart - An Aerobic Exercise Review
Mike F. Prince
My girlfriend and I are preparing to go on a hiking trip to
Glacier National Park. We are going to alternate between some
camping and some staying at various small hotels and inns. I
have been involved with doing some aerobic exercise my whole
life, either by walking or biking. When I told my husband the
plans to go on a hiking trip with my friend he laughed it away.
He does not think either one of us will have enough stamina to
last two days, let alone a full-length hiking trip. I told my
friend about my husband's disbelieving reaction. She is in
shape, but does not consistently do any aerobic exercise. She
took this as a challenge.
She started scouting for the best aerobic exercise to prepare
for our trip. I tried calling her during our lunch breaks, but
could never get her on the phone at her desk because as soon as
people rushed out for a bite, she was out walking. Twice a week
she went to evening aerobic exercise classes. I visited her
apartment and discovered three DVD’s on various aerobic
exercise programs. The woman is totally preoccupied. Initially
when we first planned the trip, we thought of hiking for short
distances each day to admire the beautiful surroundings, now
she was taking this as seriously as an international aerobic
exercise challenge! She told me that I'd better start pushing
myself more to build up my stamina so that I would be able to
catch up with her.
I went home and told my husband that I feared our relaxing,
get- in- touch- with- nature trip is going to turn into an
Olympic - scale triathlon. He took this situation in a humorous
light. At least my friend is improving her health with the
aerobic exercise, but I was definitely not planning to pant my
way up a hiking path. I purchased an aerobic exercise tape for
my walkman and started pushing myself more. The first few walks
I worked harder trying to vent out my energy of frustrations
towards my friend and husband, but as my stamina improved and
my lung capacity expanded I found I was actually enjoying this
higher level of aerobic exercise. When I went shopping for
clothes for the trip I found that I had been slimmer by a full
pant size! My clothes at home looked looser also. I told my
husband that this was my sweet revenge for his challenge, a
whole new wardrobe. He does not raise any objections because he
thinks I look greater than ever.
As our trip approaches we find ourselves getting more excited
about embarking on our adventure. We both look and feel a lot
better since we increased our aerobic exercise. Now, if you
hear about two crazy women racing around the hiking trials in
Glacier National Park, I am one of them. Wanna join us?
