In my previous contract gig, I’d head out to work every day at 6:30 am. Now being “off” for the summer, I decided to stick to my schedule except instead of heading to the bus stop, I head to the track to walk for an hour (helps me plan my day and work out the kinks in my next chapter).

Since starting this addition to my exercise schedule, I’ve received assorted feedback.

Some people tell me that walking an hour a day the way I do won’t make any difference and is wasting time. These, interestingly enough, are usually the people that aren’t doing any exercising at all.

Some people tell me the best way to walk, the best equipment to use, the best time of day to walk. They haven’t walked themselves as a form of exercise but they know how its done.

Then there are the “serious” exercisers telling me of all the other exercises that are better for me and that I should be doing instead. I have to mix it up a bit, they say, switch from exercise to exercise.

I have yet to hear one person tell me “good for you” without at least one but attached (and that isn’t the big ol’ butt following me around all day).

Hhhmmm…doesn’t this sound familiar? Isn’t that exactly like investing? You get the gang who tell you that your $25 a month won’t make a difference (it does, I started with $25 a month). You have the folks who aren’t wealthy telling you the best way to get rich (if they knew that secret, why aren’t they?). You have the investors that tell you to switch from uranium companies to tulip bulbs to real estate.

Still we plug away on our own programs and grow our wealth. In my case, in a week and a half of “useless” exercise, I’ve dropped some weight (unfortunately all off my bust but that’s a post for a whole other blog).
