Go Green and Get Exercise

Seen Below is a picture of the Exercise equipment at Rachael and I's apartment complex. The two of us made a new years resolution to get more exercise and at least one of us is getting it, but not while using one of these fancy machines.



There's nothing like running as fast as you can to make it to ride the Go Calvin Shuttle. As many of you know me (sean) this is a very perpetual part of my life, running from place to place. Having a tight schedule and wanting to spend every free moment with my wonderful wife, means that I have to run...a lot...to get anywhere.

Take for instance the shuttle service that Calvin College nicely provides for us Calvin students living in the Glen Oaks apartments about a mile from campus. It is a great service and an awesome way to cut down on Rachael and I's carbon emissions and save cash on gas. The only problem is that every morning it is like playing russian roulette to find out whether, I got up early enough and if the Shuttle already left or not.



Well, this isn't such a big deal for most of you, but for me this amounts to a several times a week sprint from our apartment to try and catch the shuttle. If you are looking to lose weight I strongly suggest getting yourself a tight schedule, poor sleeping habits, and a fascination for mass transit. This will enable you to each morning to sprint out of your front door, as a thouroughbred sprints from the gates at the Kentucky Derby.

So far I've lost 5 pounds! And you can too!
