Disclosure #1

If I'm listening to my MP3 player and Sizzla's I'm With The Girls comes on, I start marching. Military riddim is perfect for this kind of exercise. The song is almost three minutes long and I consider the marching small but meaningful exercise. The post-marching boost to my mood and goofiness that ensues is a plus.

The marching inspiration comes from the 1-Mile Breakdown, a handout that a nurse practitioner gave to my mother.

1-Mile Breakdown
Put on fast music and keep a brisk tempo to this routine:

2 minutes of marching in place or walking

3 minutes of side stepping

1 minute of marching in place or walking

3 minutes of knee lifts

1 minute of marching in place or walking

3 minutes of kicks

2 minutes of marching or walking in place

Total time: 15 minutes

Total distance walked: 1 mile


By the way, the knee lifts are no joke.
