After reading an article on health this weekend which said that the greatest predictor of surviving a heart attack is not blood factors but overall athletic condition, I decided to make a more concerted effort at regular gym time. Of course, I had to choose a day when it's a million degrees out to begin this routine. On the other hand, I came home to find an article on recovering with a nice big meal of carbs, so maybe the health section is not all about making me suffer.
I also found this interesting article, which notes that:
Women who work out looking at mirrors were found to lose desire to exercise or to get easily tired.
I hate working out near a mirror, because it makes me feel slower and less coordinated. Nice to see my observations backed up with more scientific study.
