Having an escape route to relieve life’s tensions has become even more important.
With life’s pressure’s getting bigger and bigger for most people, the escape route in exercise terms has never been so important!
I can think of many people who use exercise as the perfect route.
It could be a bike ride on a more obscure route, it could be a run in the woods, or it could be a simple walk anywhere.
What you find with these options for exericse is that you not only get a good fat burning workout in, you also get some “you time” when you can gather your thoughts and really unwind after the pressure of a hard day, or if you turn it around another way, you can exercise first thing in the morning which is the best preparation for a hard day to come, and seriously helps with the pressures of normal life to come!!!
Everyone has a favourite run or bike ride, or cycle or even swim becomes they become familiar with it.
I have a woman with five children i train who likes nothing better than walking up a really steep route to her friends house, and a walk that used to take her 40 minutes now only takes 20 minutes!!! What once was a pain in the you know what of a run has now become a quick easy walk which she now happens to do more often!!
The best part about the walk is the time out she gets when she can let off steam and think about what went right and what went wrong with her day! Some people use alcohol as this emotional crutch but many, many people i train now use their daily “escape route” as their must do every day.
Nothing better than getting rid of stress and losing body fat the same time!!!
