So I have gained weight recently (like, way too much) and was feeling down because my job is so sedentary, I barely exercised.
But in the past two weeks that’s changed! I got a mini stepper for days when I just can’t get outside, got a wobble board for core workouts (that one is plain fun), and got ankle weights for walks.
Have done a 20-minute walk every day this past week. I’m already noticing more strength and stamina!
Going to keep this up and get FIT.
Woo hoo! So proud of you. I'm also working on increasing my activity. Gotta be ready for the potential zombie apocalypse!
Walking really is the best. I can't get outdoors a lot right now due to schedules and lack of safe public spaces, but In the past it's helped when I paired the outdoor activity with listening to podcasts. Audio fiction! No politics. The point is it should be enjoyable, and give you reasons to look forward to that time.
Suggested podcasts to start: The Walk (you are an adhoc spy saving the world) We're Alive (zombie apocalypse) The Magnus Archives (spooky anthology with lots of world building between episodes)
Oooh, those are great recommendations, thank you. I can’t do political podcasts anymore either, it’s just too much. I’ll check these out!
