Enjoy where you live! When was the last time you explored your own city or even your own neighbourhood? Try going for a walk or run exploring a route you don't normally take. I'm so habitual I really have to force myself to got out of my norm! Take in the little things and appreciate them - if you see something that you love, stop and watch it or photograph it. I have a friend in Canada who does this regularly - he once stopped and watched a boat race, one of his passions, in the middle of a hike. Did it stop his cardio workout, yes - was it good for his mental health, yes - did he finish his hike, yes! It doesn't have to be a walk - I live near the beach and the lake - try paddleboarding, kayaking, playing in the surf - choose something you haven't tried before. Fresh air and sunshine are essentials in our busy lives!
Obviously exercise can help prevent excess weight or help with your weight management plan. I do a mix of training with friends, classes and on my own to keep things different and keep my motivation up. One of my favorites is interval training and boxing - talk about building up a sweat and being happy!
Exercise boosts energy! It delivers oxygen and nutrients to your tissues and can help your cardiovascular system work more efficiently. Stronger heart and lungs means more energy for your daily activity.
What about sleeping - do you have troubles falling asleep or staying asleep? Regular exercise can help you fall asleep faster and give you a deeper sleep. The best time to exercise is in the morning and up to early evening. It's best to have at least 2 hours for your body to relax before going to bed.
I can't imagine not having exercise in my life, though I did have several years in the past where I didn't. It's simply another habit to learn and habits take 30 days not 1 week. My specialty is helping people reach their goals. Register on the website in my Bio for a FREE Consultation
