One feeling that provides a large sense of accomplishment is the tiredness and the aches and pains that result from working out and being active. Part of my New Year's resoultion was to work out, not to look better but to feel better.
Today I worked out for an hour and a half, mostly riding the elliptical machine because of the low impact. I want to jog in the summer, so I have to get stronger legs now. I also used some weight machines for toning arm muscles... I was happy that I got as many done as I did as I set the weights at a higher amount than I suspected I could work with.
That, and I've decided to sign up for tennis lessons. Perhaps that will lead to greater things, like the country club.

Dancing does this for me. I probably look like an idiot, but the various leg toning techniques that I use in my work out help achieve a degree of muscle coordination and balance. It boosts the metabolism, strengthens the respiratory system, and if you do it for long enough, there's a nice little bonus endorphine high. The only thing I've found to tone the arms is a weight machine and (don't laugh) a thigh master. Yes - they work wonders on a woman's arms if the tension is good. But ... I've let my arms go ... not a pretty sight ... tsk, tsk. ;P
