Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps.

If an S and an I and an O and a U
With an X at the end spell Su;
And an E and a Y and an E spell I,

And an HED spell side,
There's nothing much left for a speller to do
But to go commit siouxeyesighed.
