So as from Autumn my fitness took a back seat, yet thinking about that, reflecting I hadn't but was doing less. This is where I decided that I wanted to get back in walking long distances as I do love to walk, and build up to start running again, but like many trying to workout when I can begin. At the moment I make sure I do some walking each day and use the Crosstrainer at my son's home, where he lives with his dad, and play some football with my son, and just being active as much as possible.
I like doing my own workout on some days in the morning after I have had my morning cup of tea and take a break from my laptop doing some floor workout, like crunches, leg raises and using my dumbbell, mixed in with yoga and Pilates. I don't do long workouts but small ones to help give me a burst of energy.
It helps with my legs and strengthening them ready to walk for longer and fit in some running, and it means starting from scratch but I don't mind that, as I know by building my walks up and strengthening I can get up and begin running again to a comfortable stride.
When it comes to fitness you have to plan it out and I do set myself goals and this year it is doing fundraising events again, like Race for life for example because I really did enjoy them and love raising money for charity.
So this means working on my fitness each day. I use what I have, and using the outdoors to walk and would like to join a fitness class, but I am fearing this at the moment, of booking it, but not going and so be a waste of money, so may start to use Youtube again as they have a lot of home workouts you can do and document it when I do to remember the buzz I feel.
It is all about what you want and what you want to achieve and not making excuses but working around your everyday and get it done.
Let me know what your goals are this year, and lets work together to e healthy and active.
Many thanks for reading,
