Thousands of exercise programs. New Years Resolutions.
Feeling discouraged?
Try this:
Sleep in your track suit with tennies and socks by the bed. When you awake, do some bed yoga, some rolling and stretching. Put on your socks and shoes. Get a little glass of water, etc. then head out the door. You can start by walking whatever pace you want. After a little while, stop and do a little stretching. Then look around you. See what might be there that you hadn’t noticed before. It could even be a crumbling brick, or a plant that’s growing surprisingly in January. Then walk for a fast clip for a while. When you’re feeling a bit out of breath, and you feel like you’ve put in some effort, slow down. Then find another place to noodle around and check things out and observe or maybe grab a handful of dirt! Give it a sniff and see how it’s doing. Are there any yummy things in there?! As a gardener, I’ve always loved the smell of good dirt.
The point is, allow yourself to noodle along and push a little here and there, but do not worry too much about it. Just enjoy. The idea is to have joyful movement.
When people ask you how you’re doing with your exercise, you could say, “Just fine. I am doing interval training! “
