Multi-tasking Listening to Podcasts while running
One of the big obstacles or excuses to not exercising is time.....Many times over the years...I had just complained that I didn't have time to exercise....In my friend's Fitness podcast Fat to Fit
http://www.fat2fitradio.com/
They constantly talk about living the life of the thinner person you want to be........Which is the best advice that they give...You have to change you.....The way you eat (That was a tough one for me that I'm still fighting) and the way you spend your day.....I had to fit exercise into my life and make it a part of my life again....I used to exercise non-stop when I was young......In Jr High ...It was Jr Lifeguards in the Summer....Club Soccer in the Fall...Basketball , Track and Baseball......In High School.....X-Country, Soccer and Track.....I was always on the go....An Athlete....
Then came life , work and the grind ....It was so much easier to just sit on the couch and turn on the TV and drive thru and grab fast food.....Then to run or swim or whatever other activity might be your thing.....
I had to make time for Exercise in my life again.....at first it was difficult to convince myself to run or swim several times a week....Now it is just apart of who I am...
Podcasts are a great way to multi-task and make double use of your exercise time.....I just download a podcast like my friend Russell's FAT TO FIT
http://www.fat2fitradio.com/
and not only I'm I exercising and burning calories --but learning something or being entertained at the same time........(which helps to drive out that inner voice telling you that it is too hard,,,or that it is okay to walk)
So every Monday I listen to my favorite Disney podcasts on my run --which makes me look forward to running that day because I look forward to listening to that show.

Or I download a Podcast of Surf music

basically killing 2 birds with 1 stone.....Accomplishing my exercise goals while enjoying music --or learning about staying fit or hearing about the new ride in Disneyworld at the same time

Dat 119 No Run
Day 120 4.4 Mile Run
Total Running so far since Feb 14th 369.82
Mixing it up: Running with Bees?
I Hit PCH for a little Seal Beach to Bolsa run along the ocean side of PCH.....i...The 6 mile round trip run started at the Taco Bell in Seal Beach --running over the bridge past all the Navy stuff and desert like dirt trail. I headed in Surfside Sunset area on the beach side.. And then-I faced the Gauntlet of Bees that I would have to run through to get there.....I felt like I was in one of my own Pineappleman Adventures.... Facing the angry hoard of bees to reach the treasure .
So After running with arms raised to protect my face... zig zagging to avoid the hundred or more angry bees (which I'm sure must have looked interesting to the people driving by---like some crazy person swinging their arms in the air on the side of the road)....I thought what and interesting new challenge.....I can see the fake Exercise product now.
LOSE WEIGHT By RUNNING with Bees........It works out both your arms and legs as you swing them wildly in order to protect yourself from bee stings....Plus it gets your adrenalin pumping to burn extra calories.......All you have to do is send $19.99 today and you will get a free bag of angry bees ...Then just release them at the beginning of your run for a run filled bee run......Order today and we will give you a second bag of angry bees for free.....That is right...2 Bags of angry running bees for the price of one....(Not liable for bee stings...Do not order if you are allergic to bees)
I kept thinking of that Simpsons episode where Homer Says:
Homer: Or what? You’ll release the dogs, or the bees, or the dogs with bees in their mouths and when they bark they shoot bees at you? Well, go ahead—do your worst!
