For the last 15 or so years, my mom has been an active Y member, attending classes or just using the gym three to four times a week. A recent job change, and an hour long commute sometimes puts a hamper on her weeknights, but she is able to convince herself to head to the Y anyway. One of her favorite activities is a Saturday step aerobics class (usually there and back before I even wake up).
My mom has always told me she finds her dedication in the way she feels after she has finished exercising. She has always promoted working out as the best stress reliever, and with papers due every week, I’ve started to believe her. After years of trying, my mom has finally gotten me to keep a healthy body, and a healthy mind…now if only she can convince Dad.
