Exercise Minute

Ok, I love to sleep, to be honest I don't know anyone who doesn't. I am not the kind of person who like to go to bed at 9 and wake up bright and early. I am more like an afternoon person, it's really the only time I am awake and coherent. The problem with my love of sleep and my challenge. They do not go hand in hand. Nope, it's more like one is battling the other for ultimate domination.
So today I am giving a couple tips on exercises. Tip one: Get a sleep pattern!! Typically a person should be sleeping 7-8 hours a night. The problem with that, who has 7-8 hours of the day that they can spend sleeping. Most of us are lucky to hit 6 hours. Hence the sleep pattern. If you set up a reliable time to go to sleep and wake up, your body is rested and ready to start the next grueling day.
Here is my pattern: go to bed at 9 fall asleep about 10-10:30 wake up at 4. However on nights like last night where I didn't get to sleep until close to midnight, your poor spouse deals with the repercussions of that the next morning. In my case poor Brad had to deal with an emotional ball of dislike. It wasn't dislike towards him, I aimed it all at me. This will be covered in next weeks mental day.
Tip#2 If you live in a workplace that has stairs use them. I know by the time you hit the 3rd flight you are gasping for air, vexing the person who invented them. In my case there are 120 stairs from the bottom floor to my floor which is the 7th. Trust me I count them every time. Good point on this, if the elevators go out, like mine do constantly, you will be conditioned enough to get a few more flights in before the vexing begins.
If you are one of the lucky people who's office is one floor, park further away. You know that spot in the very back of the parking lot that you feel sorry for the person who has to park there? Guess what, that spot is your new best friend. Not only to you get some fresh air, you also get to spend a few extra seconds from the abyss known as work.

That is all today! See you tomorrow.
