On Monday, Wednesday and Friday I have class from 9-12. The other days, I do other work. I have a small business, and sometimes I need to do work for that. Often I do farm work, or I work in my house cleaning, cooking or doing other chores. I exercise every day.? Sometimes I go for a walk, and sometimes I go to the gym.
