Dust in the wind, dude... (as Ted would say)

The unexamined workout, to paraphrase noted fitness guru, Socrates, is not worth doing.  We need some sense that what we are doing is working.  Here are some ways to tell:

We are sweaty at the end.

We were out of breath at least some of the time.

We are sore, but not so sore that we can’t function the next day.

Our brains got tired, too.

We stretched.

If we did all those things, we were on the right track.
