it’s because i have a workout partner now, that i can keep up with this. i am still a few pounds over my ideal weight, but i feel much better exercising regularly. i need to get my heart rate up and i run and lift, as opposed to in the past where i would just go on walks and call that exercise. it is a great exercise, and i do it on some of the days i don’t workout, but i needed that boost. and now i’m almost fit (it’s been about 1.5 months of working out)
