It is so easy to let a lapse of even a day or two dictate the success or failure of a goal. Going forward, let’s think of it as a daily challenge.
Try adding a class, it is always a good thing to try something new. When we stick to the same routine, our bodies get used to what we are asking of them.
Our progress becomes stagnant, and there is a danger of overuse, the bodies constantly doing the same things over and over again. Instead, switch things up.
It seems less of a "life-altering event" that way. With less pressure too. If we take it one day at a time, although cliché, we give ourselves the ability to view each new day as one filled with the possibility of success.
If you are used to spinning, try the rowing machine, or maybe a step or Zumba class? You will definitely notice different muscles starting to work. The foam rolling exercise is also helpful to maintain good physical fitness.
It can be tough staying motivated with the weather it’s a crazy winter thing. It is not always pleasant or safe for that matter to walk outdoors this time of year. Ice and snow can be big fat bummers.
But until the time when things start to melt, and we can once again enjoy a nice walk, run or hike, don’t forget you do have a place to go.
Grab a friend and make a plan of exercising together. Use the treadmills, and try little short spurt races to keep things interesting. You can do it on the bike, elliptical, or arc trainer too! Use conversations to gauge your training and improve physical fitness.
If you can still talk while keeping a good pace, push harder! Just don’t give up. And if you do, begin again the next day. Remember, it is never too late.
Your health and physical fitness is everything. Do the best you can for yourself and your family.
