Simply..move....

As some of you already know I am not into exercise! My attitude has changed a little bit since I wrote this post in 2010...but I've never managed to make it a habit.

But....when I start again, I remember how lovely it is to move, to feel lighter, more supple, to feel the physical pleasure of it.

I was chastened when walking in Benmore Botanic Garden yesterday. Two older women walking with difficulty and with the aid of sticks said to us 'We're envying you women who can still walk'. Gosh. How I take it for granted.

I've recently begun to use this lovely video in the evening and I feel the benefit (and the ache in my tummy muscles) all the next day.

I found myself dancing around the sitting room this morning to some waltz on the radio.

Me!

Why would I not continue with something that makes me feel this good?

Do you have the exercise habit?

I used to be very keen on 'keep fit' but less so these days. I walk a lot normally but yesterday I dusted the cobwebs from my bicycle and went for a ride. It made me realise how unfit I am as I haven't used it for a couple of years. My knees ached and my legs trembled - oh dear - not a good sign but I will persevere and hopefully return to some sort of fitness.

Keep wobbling on Elaine! I think you live in quite flat countryside? Good for cycling? Enjoy.

I'm missing my Pilates class at the moment so, thank you, I will definitely try this video out as I still seem to need to be told what to do despite having attended Pilates classes for seven years! I just don't stick at it for long enough on my own.

This is one situation where I like to be told what to do! I hope you enjoy the video Lucille.

We - my husband and I- practice Chi Neng Qigong together. Not every day as we would like to but often. If daily walking - 20 minutes - is also an exercise habit, then that I have too.
Lovely fireflies.

How nice to share! Barry is an extreme swimmer, so not something we can share..(solar fireflies!)

What a good idea to live on a hill Sarah! And having a dog is another.
