Start Your Day Right – Morning Exercise!
This morning, I was up at 3.00 a.m. There was no alarm clock, just my body seem to be in tune with waking up early to start my morning exercise. For the last five weeks, I must have missed exercising three mornings due to a foot injury.And I really missed it.
There is something about waking up early to exercise. It is a challenge to get off your cozy bed when you wish you could just stay five more minutes. But I challenge myself everyday because in the end I feel that I have accomplished something for me.
I have decided on the days that I am not exercising with my trainer, I will walk 3 miles. This is six times around a nearby Savannah. I like waking up and watch the people who are there with me going about their own business. There was man in his thirties who was exercising with his father. Men in their sixties running around chasing each other. One lady was limping but yet still she walked on. Many people were jogging and I am inspired by these people.
For my part, when I started one round was so difficult far less accomplishing the six laps. By the third lap, I wanted to give up and say enough is enough. Those benches round the Savannah had my name on it…I was sure. But I shook my head and kept on walking. This is not only about losing weight but being healthy.
I am not sure if walking will help in my weight loss but I do know that my clothes fit better and I feel healthier. It is easy to give up..when you your mind says you cannot do it. But I focus instead on the song playing on my mp3 and started dancing and walking. I have made up my mind to become the best I can be. To live my best life ever and it means sticking to my program of exercise and keep fit. After all I have exercised for the last five weeks, so why should i give up now?
I hated exercising just as much as the next person. But here I am walking round and round like there was no stopping me now.
Sweat pouring down my face, legs hurting like crazy but I had a smile on my face. One hour later and I walked six laps around the Savannah.
I did it! What a wonderful feeling! I walked 3 miles today for a healthier me. I started my day right with morning exercise! You can do it too!!
