fitting in some exercise even once a week never mind the recommended amount of
3-4 times a week can be tough! It is about priorites though and putting
ourselves first occasionally for the good of others. For example I believe I am
a much better wife, mother and worker when I am feeling healthy and not stressed
with a clear mind and for me that comes from exercising. When you
have had a tough day with all that life throws at you the uplift you can get
from shaking your stuff at a Zumba class should be available on the NHS…..or the
clarity of mind you get after letting yourself have some quiet time to reflect
in a yoga or pliates class should again never be underestimated!!!! I believe it
all comes down to managing time and not letting time manage you……once you
mentally commit to coming to a class and do it religiously it becomes just a way
of life as much as going to do the weekly big shop or taking the kids
swimming. I have recently launched some online fitness classes to give people the option of doing
just 12 minutes a day of exercise at home if it’s not always possible to get to
a class. I think this is a great option for lots of people and I love to start
my day with a short workout like this even if I’m teaching on the evening. I don’t
think there are many people who can’t find even 12 minutes in a day to invest in
themselves and their health…….so I urge you to schedule some exercise into your
week, mark it in your diary or on the calendar and commit to doing it….I promise
that you will not regret it!!!!!
