If you'd like to wear a bikini. Wear a bikini. We all have a body to put it on!
I believe in fitness for the long term, small changes for lasting results.
Words from the Wild Country
Life is busy. It's a rush from home to work to home to bed. It's a rush of appointments, errands, chores, kids clubs, school run, social events.How can you possibly find time to exercise when life is SO busy?
How about we think about this time issue in a different way? Exercise is an investment, its for the long term. Your body and mind and future self will thank you for finding the time now. Looking after yourself should be top of the list of things to do.
School holidays can often be a reason why we fall out of good exercise habits and then find it hard to get back into them. But, equally, you might find it hard to stick to your usual routine if your partner is away or work is so busy you don't get home in time and are stressed and shattered. So, I have a few strategies I thought I'd share with you.
I think we need these pockets of alone time, unstructured and free. It's restorative and beneficial to our stress levels and emotional health. Even a few moments of quiet contemplation or meditation can help. Reading a book, colouring, knitting...engaging in something creative can be just as good for your physical health as a heart pumping exercise. See if you can schedule it in, alongside the exercise of course!
March is a great time of year to review those New Year Resolutions and goals and to see how far you've come and whether they're still relevant. I know I feel fitter than I did in January, but I know that I need to have a bit of a diet re-set to really feel the effects on my body. Fitness is about exercise and nutrition - the two go hand in hand.
