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:
