What gives me the greatest pleasure is seeing people jog. Not that I am returning to running but it does help me get up and do some form of exercise each day. Walking, doing weights, swimming and playing sports with my son.
It is good to have an active lifestyle. but not over do it but a bit a day goes a long way.
I will do a fast walk rather then a stroll depending on distance.
The mornings are for me my most energetic time and will walk through the local parks and commons and just taking in what is around me. Listening the birds and just feeling at peace with myself. It for me calms the mind and helps me creatively and I tend to do weights in the afternoon.
Taking your mind off exercise is to watch or listen to something. I tend to watch Youtube whilst I do some weights and not putting too much pressure and listen to my body when it wants to exercise and when it needs rest.
It can be great for waking you up and I love going out early because I can go into a coffee shop whilst its not busy and enjoy it because I like to go to a coffee shop, journal and working on a new book whilst I wait for the shops to open and then walk back and away from the high street but where it is quiet and love a pond, river and love visiting the coast and a great places to exercise.
When I started running I would run along by the river. I have run between Putney and Hammersmith, along by the River Thames, Southbank and Hyde Park by the Serpentine and during the Easter Holidays my son and I went to Wimbledon Park to play tennis. It was so enjoyable and looking to do this once a week, when my son comes home from school as he has tennis lessons on Saturday and work of some energy.
It gives me a buzz and good when there is sunshine and no rain.
Many thanks for reading,
