Taking care of yourself takes many forms and you have to adapt to what your body and soul needs. A few years ago I was pounding out high intensity cardio workouts burning off 700+ calories in an hour. It was a slog, I was exhausted and suffered numerous aches and pains and minor injuries. As a result I couldn’t get into the clothes I wanted and I felt frustration and failure.
Fast forward a few years - older and wiser. I do low impact cardio every morning for 20 mins bur by off around 150 calories, I walk between 12000-20000 steps a days and do weight and resistance training with my clients. I accept some days I will walk under 10000 steps and that is fine. I don’t have any aches and pains. No injuries. I look forward to my workouts and have the energy to paddle and walk with my son to watch the sunset after seeing 3 clients…after a days work with 3 year olds. I don’t feel failure because every little bit of this is an achievement.
Oh and I’ve lost over 27 lb since over the last year, just under 2 stone.
If this way of working out speaks to you, give me a shout and hopefully we can work together.
