Thinking of not exercising today because you will go for a gentle walk later or tomorrow? That is not the same and it doesn’t count. Walking is wonderful but you need to do things in ADDITION to create real change for your body and mind.
We always talk about “exercise with purpose”, which means getting out of breath, getting your lungs working and demanding a little more out of yourself.
It can be 10 walks up a 30 yard steep hill. It can be a cycle ride taking in great scenery. It can be a weights session. You can use your bodyweight to create great things and get a real sweat on as you should know by now.
First thing on the weekend is the ideal time to get out there, get your heart rate up, your lungs blowing and oxygen into your body on a big scale. The walk later is great but surely you can manage that too? Use that great body you were given, stop giving up in yourself and rediscover what it was actually for!! It’s definitely NOT for sitting on the sofa all day thats for sure!
Take responsibility for your exercise, the time you spend thinking up new excuses NOT to do it, you could have done a workout in that time!!
Be a leader in your family, show everyone else the way and they WILL follow your example, whether now or sometime in the future. Be the person who creates positive change for yourself, encourages others to do the same and sets new higher standards each and every week. A
Actions speak a lot louder than words!!!
