Let me break it down for you. I have the running shoes. I have the boxing wrap and gloves. I have the Hip Hop Abs videos on my computer. How come I haven't completely turned this into a daily fitness routine? I realized working out may be hard without having a partner. I failed so many times in finding people who will either run or box with me.

So one afternoon, I was sitting and just talking to my little sister. That's when I realized, she may be the best partner for me. I stood up and told her I've decided I want to buy a new mountain bike. That way, we can bike around together and burn as much as 500 calories (in an hour).

And so it happened. We go around the village to bike for more than an hour - sometimes even more than that. We;ll see how this goes.
