The reasons you have given about the bible not being a choice here are exactly the point in actually reading it as an option.The "ambiguity" and "controversey" that you mention could actually be the catalyst to stimulating and exercising your brain, that is if what you are saying about the bible is anything to go by. Infact some poetry including Shakespeare, can be more controversial and ambigious than u know ! All the better if brain stimulation and exercise is your goal!

I am 58 years old and hit the eliptical while watching the 7:30 am news and weather on the our old big screen tv every morning before work. I actually used to do it after work for years but switched to the morning about 5 years ago because I figured I might as well exercise while I was mentally still waking up rather than waste fully alert time exercising. I found out that it helps me wake up faster and feel better all day. I want to watch the news and weather in the am anyway, so I feel more efficient doing both things at once and have no difficulty at all comitting to doing this every workday since it actually wakes me up faster so I hit the job ready to go (I was never a morning person but I am now). The after work routine I did years ago was tougher for me to commit to consistently.

The question is whether all of these folks who read books while walking the treadmill are exerting enough stress and strain to tone their lungs or simply deceiving themselves. It's virtually impossible to read carefully while walking at anything above 2 mph, and it's equally difficult to feel any exercise benefit at less than 2.8 mph. Yet it's impossible to walk a treadmill for 30 or more minutes and think about nothing (once, maybe). The best uses of time appear to be a big TV screen or iPod and high end earphones (can't stand inferior audio quality). When that gets too dull, I make it a point to use the 30 minutes to exercise my brain by memorizing passages of poetry from Chaucer to Wordsworth to Shakespeare. (Forget the Bible. Too few people who "specialize" in it think enough about its elusive and frequently ambiguous and even controversial meanings as it is.)

I get home from work at around 6 pm and have a family to tend to, no time for exercise! First thing in the morning works so much better for me. I wake up an hour early to work out and I can start the day with one thing crossed off my "to do" list! Yes it is hard at first, but commit to it and after 2 or 3 weeks it becomes part of your routine.

I start off each day with exercise before beginning my desk job with http://mailVU.com. I feel better all day as a result.
