Okay so from the title I am sure you all have figured out this blog is about...you guessed it...EXERCISE! Well if you are surprised that a weight loss blog is going to have exercise in any blog maybe you should look into what it takes to lose weight.
Anyways I have finally came full circle and started working out again, YAY!! Before, I was one of those people who would consider getting out of bed the daily exercise and if stairs were involved in my day I was "lucky" I got some cardio. HOWEVER, I am no longer like that. I will say it is SO hard to get back into wanting to work out again. I feel like I want to punch someone in the face every-time they ask "do you feel the burn?" As my friend has pointed out no you don't feel that until the next day what you feel the day of doing a workout is the feeling of having a heart attack. Well trust me when I say this folks, day one is the bad day, day two is still bad but not too much, day three it will feel a little easier and after day three you can do it. I would recommend starting with basics like I did. Nothing too hard, the harder it is the less likely it will be for you to go back to it.
The exercises I decided to try are dancing, jump roping, running and weights, they are toning weights so nothing more than five pounds. I start by running. Now I am not doing a full blown run, it is more like a light jog right now but I am working my way up. I started by jogging or brisk walking home from the train station. When I come home I do some jump roping then I go into the weights and dancing then I stretch out. I won't lie it was hard to get into the swing of things at first but I was doing it for my health.
My tip to people is DO SOMETHING YOU ENJOY. Even if it is a walk to your friend's house or biking to the lake or stone collecting. Even housework and gardening is considered a workout now. So find something that is fun. Another thing, don't it for vanity reasons do it because you want to be healthy and live a long and great life. I use to work out for vanity issues and that didn't go anywhere. I love working out now because I know the health benefits and I know it gets easier as I go.
Another recommendation would be to set some short term goals and some long term. Some short term would be lose 10 pounds by next month. Or be able to run a mile. Long term would be like run the Boston Marathon in 5 years. I post my goals places I know they will be safe and I will see them everyday. Your goals can seem stupid to one person but that doesn't matter. They are something you want to accomplish throughout your life. Don't let anyone tear you down. Stay strong and move on. It will happen if you believe in it.
Anyways I will blog more after the Bruins game. I love Boston Teams. I am a DIE HARD Bostonian so yeah. I Have said all I wanted to say today about exercise. I feel tonight may come another deep confessions type post. Anyways if I don't blog again tonight I will tomorrow. GO BRUINS! And Remember Stay Beautiful!!!
