The Motivation Mill

I resumed my gym yesterday. I am not sure if I'll have the luxury of working out while I am at the Indian School of Business. Unlike most other people, I like working out on the treadmill - both for the obvious and the not-so-obvious reasons. The obvious reason is that the treadmill is the most effective way to get rid of that excess fat and the easiest way to remain in good shape. It’s also a very good cardio exercise. However, I like it more for the not-so-obvious reason. Working out on the treadmill (and watching myself doing that in the mirror that faces it in my gym) motivates me to great levels. My best laid plans regarding writing the GMAT, GMAT strategies, ISB application and subsequently the ISB interview, all owe their synthesis to my workout sessions on the treadmill. That’s why I have re-christened the treadmill. I now call it the Motivation Mill.
