I work with some extremely health conscious people. By extremely, I mean people who ride their bikes to work and those that go for power walks during the lunch break. Most of them also play sport, go bushwalking and do cross-country skiing! In comparison, I am pretty much a bludger - but you all knew that allready :P.
I have never played much sport outside of school and while I used to go for walks, I did very little other exercise.
Today, one of the girls I work with decided to go bike riding instead of power walking. I just causally mentioned the fact that I cant ride a bike and of course now I have everyone in the lab volunteering to teach me! When am I going to learn??
So next week, I am going to learn how to ride a bike! I don't know why that is going to help me though - its not like I own a bike! :P
What was the point of the above?? Well, I guess that even if I don't learn anything or discover anything scientific over the next few years, I will at least have a healthier lifestyle!
PS: I can push almost 90% of my body weight on the Leg-press at the gym!!! Very proud of myself :D
