I am really out of shape lately. I am starting an exercise program for the next little while. I am going to start slow to find out what I can do and gradually increase my limit. For today it is just running up and down the thirteen steps in my house for five. Later we will gradually increase as I get better.

At this point, I have increased the time to thirty minutes and I do not feel anything like when I started. I don't think that I am really going to get any better from this point on. I am still sweating a lot and I feel out of breath while running, but I recover very quickly. At this point I feel like I am just wasting time. I need a way to improve my performance without taking more of my time. The solution that I am thinking of is weights. I have a set of adjustable dumbbells and I think that running with them on my shoulders will give be an extra kick. I am going to start with a low weight and gradually increase as I feel more up to it. I will still keep the time constant and record my score.
