Since the beautiful weather has started here in the southwest, since November, I have been taking my fast walks around my area and other areas for exercise. The perfect temperatures sure helps in getting everyone out for activity, but I also have to take my portable MP3 with me too. When I take my walks, it is amazing that almost everyone I pass, from walkers, runners, bikers to skateboarders have their portable MP3 players with them. We all need our music as our motivation besides the entertainment value. I remember one time, I was in a hurry and I forgot my portable MP3, my walk definitely wasn’t fun and it seemed very long. I tried to hum to myself, that didn't work, then I started thinking of all the things I needed to do that day. It wasn't a very stress-free walk. I finished it, but I will not forget my MP3 music again. After I finish my walks with my MP3 music, I feel better not only physically, but mentally too. Music has a way of putting you in a better mood.
