Well I did it. I got out the yoga mat and the Callanetics .
I did about 1/3 of the exercises. They are not as easy on this older body as they were on my younger self years ago. Ouch... The point is though, I got up at 530 and fixed MJ breakfast and felt awful. Head ache sore throat and so on. I went to lay back down and decided to try and exercise instead. I plan to do Power walk 3xs a week. So I grabbed the callanetics dvd
and hit the floor.
and hit the floor.Lessons learned, a yoga mat is not soft enough to do anything on a hard wood floor... that is where most of the ouch comes from. I also learned I am not nearly as flexible as i ought to be, I can not stretch like Callan does, no matter what she says! So I stretch as much as i can and move forward. I learned too that exercise even when I feel icky, does help! I have energy now where at 7 I had none. I am cleared headed where as before I was not. I will probably take a nap later but for now I am off to town to pay bills and possibly find something fun for supper... I have an idea but in case beloved reads this I will not pot it here today, maybe tomorrow!
hugs y'll
Awwww, Sweetie, I applaud you for being ambitious even when you were not feeling well and doing those exercises. Good for you!!
ReplyDeleteI bet if you keep at it, you'll be stretching farther and farther each time.
Hugs and love, as always.
I agree. Exercise does make you feel better. I exercise just about every day, except Sunday, and without fail on those days when I absolutely do not feel like exercising, but do it anyway, I feel so much better afterwards. Keep it up, GBB!
