This week has brought a feeling i havent had for a while, because i have been off work 90% of the week, the feeling of inactivity is a big negative when it comes to how energetic we feel and even look.
I have feel even stiffer this week than as if i have exercised all night and all day, simply by doing nothing!!!
Of course i have a new baby and i have been running around a hospital and the house like mad at times, this is not the same as exercise!!
I know a lot of people make lots of excuses when it comes to training, such as “i work in the garden so i don’t need to exercise”, “i play golf so thats all the exercise i need”, or “i do all the housework and the daily mail says thats enough of a workout for me” or one of my favourites “i work on a building site so i work harder than anyone, and i definitely don’t need to exercise”!!!!
All rubbish excuses of course, and anything in the daily mail must of course be taken with a pinch of salt. If you listen to that newspaper, and pretending to be some kind of middle class snob, you probably think that all foreigners are evil and they are out to take our women and jobs!!! And thats even before you get to the exercise section!!! And this from the paper who supported the nazi party before world war 2, i bet they are really proud about that!
So the bottom line is whatever you do outside official exercise, you STILL need to exercise just LIKE ME this in a proper way, exactly what i havent been doing this week BUT will be putting right the weekend!!!!
While gardening is great exercise and rushing around is better than sitting on your backside all day, we all still need an exercise programme so lets ditch the excuses and the reasons why you’re not in good as shape as you could be and attack some real exercise this weekend, just like i will be!!!
