I've been doing yoga, and got the reward of increased flexibility. My work is very physical and the weather has been very hot, so I haven't been doing the thirty minutes. However, my work shirt is getting looser, as are my pants. When I put on one of my long sleeve tops, my arms slide in easily and the sleeves are loose.
Best of all, when my husband and I flew to Utah, I fit easily in the airplane seat.
The motel we were visiting had an exercise room and a swimming pool and hot tub. The pool was usually full of families splashing around, so I went with the exercise room.
The cycle had a television screen, so the first day of thirty minutes plus the five of slow down, I watched a black and white episode of "The Rifleman," as I didn't know about the bowl full of packets of earbuds at the time. I was glad for doing the cycling, as I did a lot of walking through IKEA, and I did fine.
The next day, I had ear buds in, and watched the Weather Channel. Barrow, Alaska and Death Valley, California were the featured stories.
And then the next day, I went again, and thought, "I can do this."
Then we returned home.
So after work today, I went to the exercise room at the apartment complex. The cycling machine was changed, and it lacked a back, so there went the relaxing-while-moving-my-knees element was gone. I couldn't figure out how to get the screen to change over to one of the channels that was offered, so I looked at a photo of a dry clump of scenic grasses with the slowest timebar yet (where are the friendly little dots?) but I did get through the half hour and the cool down (photo of green watery glade), even though my rear hurt. Looking at my body in the mirror, it looks like there should be some cushioning there, but sitting on that cycle, nope.
