I just wanted to comment on how regular exercise transfers to so many other aspects of life that are not fitness-related.
For example, we recently inherited a piano. I've always wanted to play but my parents never had the money, and then there were other priorities in my life, blah, blah, blah... Lessons are currently not in our budget so I bought a couple of books and started setting aside 30-60 min a day to teach myself how to play. I'm really enjoying it and can now play several (simple!) songs with both hands and am getting better and better.
I've learned from exercising all of these years that the key to improving at ANYTHING is consistency. I know that some days I'll play better than others and that that's okay because I'll still make progress. I've learned that setting goals and doggedly trying to reach them WORKS!
How has working out helped in nonfitness-related areas in your life?
