So, Savories. I've heard from a lot of you: "How do I motivate myself to exercise?"
When we're busy, bogged down with details and competing priorities, too stressed out, too frazzled... it's easy to push exercise aside to another day... and then to another day... until it never really happens.
The irony is that when you do exercise, you will:
- Become more resilient to stress.
- Be more productive, so even if you have to "carve out" time to move, you'll get more done in the time you have left.
- Enjoy more natural energy, which begets more motivation to move.
- Reduce cravings.
- Strengthen your immune system.
- Slow down the aging process.
- Have more balanced blood sugar levels = reduced risk of diabetes, weight gain, cravings, mood and hormonal balance issues.
- Protect against cancer.
- Reach your healthy weight level much more easily and sustainably.
- Get rid of toxins more easily and thoroughly.
And please don't feel like you have to train for a marathon, sweat like crazy, and push it 'til you drop in order to get benefits.
Just walk. Consistently. Daily, if at all possible. Your body WANTS and NEEDS to move.
So get started and your body will take it from there.
p.s. As always, check with your doctor first before starting any exercise regimen, especially if you have chronic health conditions and/or are already on medications.
p.p.s What are you doing, still sitting there?
