Where to Start When You Feel Overwhelmed with Exercising [Episode 71]

Aug 28, 2019

In this episode, I talk about where to start when you feel overwhelmed with getting your physical health where you want it to be. We all go through times where we have to have our physical bodies take a backseat and this is my process that I go through every time I re-start my exercise routine.

Key Points from this Episode:

• There are so many reasons (physical & mental) that take us back to square one with our fitness. That's OK!
• My big why for exercise is the endorphins. I feel better when I exercise.
• You don't need to do the whole workout that is designed! Start with 10 minutes, then go to 15 minutes until you find the right duration for you.
• Start with gently building strength (Physique 57), then add cardio (Marcy Upright Exercise Bike).
• I replaced my standard transportation with a cardio bucket bike.
• Find what you love to do to work moving into your day. Mow the lawn, swim, longboard, dance in the kitchen. Do what works for you!
• I gain energy from exercising, not lose it.
• It feels good to feel strong!
• Focusing on getting my green smoothie in every day helps teach my body to crave fruits and vegetables again. It helps me get out of the survival-eating mode.
• Whatever your body needs, feed it that!
