So...starting Monday, we are going to challenge ourselves to MOVE every day for 10 days in a row--no excuses! In order to ensure success, we're taking a few days to prep our mind and our environment....
OK, so first things first. Let’s figure out WHY you want to get moving!
- Are you looking to rock feel-good endorphins for an instant mood makeover?
- Wanna give your heart a little work out so you can avoid needing to have a cardiologist on your speed dial?
- Maybe you think it’s time to lift weights so “future you” doesn’t end up with brittle bones?
- Do you wanna firm up that extra “jiggle jiggle” in your “wiggle wiggle”?
- Are you wanting to boost endurance so you can keep up with kids, grandkids, or that crazy energetic friend you have that hikes up tall mountains just for the heck of it? (Cuz you KNOW she’s super fun to hang out with!! Woot!)
- Maybe you wanna get strong for functional reasons like lifting your own suitcase into the overhead bin, hovering over that nasty porta-potty seat, or opening that stubborn pickle jar without having to ask someone for help?
- Do you wanna avoid feeling like the creaky, un-oiled tin man (or woman) when you get out of bed in the morning?
- Maybe you’re trying to strengthen those postural muscles so you don’t round over like the Hunchback of Notre Dame as you get older?
- Or maybe you just wanna be able to get up off the floor (or even a low chair!) without making groan-y “Ugh-argh-oof” noises?
There are a LOT of reasons why you might want to get moving!
So, whatever they are, write those reasons down. Stick ‘em somewhere you’ll see them each day! THIS is your motivation! When you feel like you don’t wanna exercise…go back to your WHYS!
Alright…that’s Prep Step #1: Write down your WHYS
Stay tuned for Prep Step #2!
PS
It’s important for me to be able to lift my suitcase on my own…it sometimes contains extra special cargo!
