Working out in my jeans

Yes I like to workout no matter what I am wearing. I used to think you needed a load of gym gear but actually I don't. If you are in private even being in your underwear. Its your space your time so it is good to take advantage. 

I like versatility. I like comfort and I even workout in my PJ's, naked in the bath and in bed. 

It all depends on what type of exercise you are doing. If it is running I would not recommend because of Chaffing and also how long your working out for. I do short workouts, I walk so I can wear what I want and the one item I love to buy is good swimming gear and I am starting with swimming again. 

Something that is my weekly thing, like some days I walk on the treadmill in the morning or walking outside and going to start doing an evening walk on Sundays and would like to do Tennis and play with my son as he loves Tennis and feel when it comes spring is being out the garden playing football and would to start working out in the garden in a pair of shorts and T-Shirt. 

I am wearing more trainers rather than leggins all the time and so I know if it good quality because I can still wear them and love buying socks and trainers. I like the slip in trainers but do own a few lace ups and durable. I am in the hunt for a pair of second hand trainers for when I take my son to Rugby as I find Wellington boots difficult to walk in. 

A pair of boots is a good item for walking. love a good jumper and thermal clothes. 

Last year I tried Park run but I don't like mud and so wasn't for me. I felt bad in saying that but find it hard to play rugby when it is super muddy and was not for me. I am glad I gave it a try and so if it is comfortable wear it and honestly you don't have to spend lots on fitness clothes. It is good to have a few pieces but not too much.

How Fitness Helps with my anxiety

So not been doing a lot of fitness recently. My son was being tutored at the Library and so felt I had to be there because of  my son going to the toilet because he didn't liking to the toilets on his own, but I have been still building my steps still when I can. I find when I do I feel so good and just the fresh air just goes through my body and eases the anxiousness, I feel and now my son is now in a school, as he would want to take the bus to the Library, I will be able to destress and go for a walk in the mornings again. 

I am still working out on the go, like now as I write this blog rotating my food and feel the flexibility of my ankles and fitness is good for the joints and bones. I like slow and easy exercise and will be doing my afternoon workouts indoors and going to be using the treadmill again too. I feel such a boost of energy and positivity when I do and means my son gets to play outdoors rather than cooped up in the Library. 

It was good this week to play out in the garden again and practiced taking penalties and this is also exercise, so I still do bits, but would like to do a continuous workout again and would like this winter to do some exercise out in the garden and get my mat out. 

I even exercise in the bath and in bed. Honestly trust me you don't have to use anything and still do crunchies, leg raises and push ups against a wall and seated down on a chair. 

I am going to find out if I can book a Tennis court around the corner so my son and I can play when he comes home from school as he has Tennis lessons on Saturdays and see if I can book some swimming sessions for myself, locally too. 

It is good to have places to go and I like pay as you go activities. Last year I tried Park run but it wasn't for me and like to do my own walks and the pace that is suitable to me and decide what route or direction. 

I think Wimbledon Common where the Park run was located is a good place to walk or run but, doing Parkrun I just felt like I was around utter chaos and like to walk where it is less busy and now I have moved back Epsom for a bit, then there are plenty routes around and so be good to walk and for as long as I want. 

With fitness I find when doing slow movements on my legs which some may find strange but relaxing and can't wait to use my fitness mat again and I have leg and wrist weights as it is good to raise my legs, bum lifts and listening to chill out music or other kinds and just concentrating on my breathing and the feelings of my joints and helps build the nerves and boost my energy levels and now I am going to chill now and getting back this week into my fitness and will report back. 

I do write other on other blogs sites and you can find them on my Pinterest, X and on Facebook:
