Comments on: Downsides to Going to the Gym http://www.geek-fitness.com/2008/03/31/downsides-to-going-to-the-gym/ For anyone stuck behind a desk who wants to be more active, lose weight or just improve their health Thu, 28 Aug 2008 02:19:42 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.1.3 By: Cecilia http://www.geek-fitness.com/2008/03/31/downsides-to-going-to-the-gym/#comment-400 Cecilia Wed, 16 Apr 2008 04:37:06 +0000 http://www.geek-fitness.com/2008/03/31/downsides-to-going-to-the-gym/#comment-400 Hi, I'm just a random person who happened to stumble onto this blog (from your ilovejackdaniels site... I was looking at html cheat sheets, thank you for that by the way) and felt like commenting. It's really cool to see that you've kept up with going to the gym and it looks like you're having a great time with it. I totally understand what you mean about working backwards... working on projects to take up the free time you have. I'm an art major and I feel horrible because I never actually do any art-related things unless I have free time, when I don't have class or work or club meetings or, occasionally, gym. I had realized this a few times before, but reading your thoughts has inspired me to try to get back into making art again.

From my not so extensive reading it seems like this rythm is often 3 days long but it probably varies. Anyway I have found that a cycle of 3 days is about right for me. One day I lift weights, then I follow that day with a more fun activity (I also allow myself the odd treat on this day) and then I have a resting day where I eat less and it works really well for me. Keeping fit doesn't take so much time either, because I agree with you about the extra time - when that goes, the projects go too...

I really like it. Rather than attempt a write up, search for "pace sears" and give it a try.
