Do you sometimes wake up in the morning and think that you just can’t be bothered trying to cram in that 30 or 40 minute jog? Mmmm…often?
Well, once you get into the habit, so to speak, it is not that bad. Actually, it gets easier each day. And why jog anyway? A brisk 30 or 40 minute walk does wonders for your circulation and burns more fat than jogging.
Moreover, walking is easier to sustain for longer periods of time than jogging for many people, and less stress on knee and hip joints. After a couple of weeks, you will start to look forward to those early morning walking sessions, and before you know it, you will be addicted. As the addiction starts to take hold, you may even be able to squeeze in a few stomach crunches – not too many to start with, maybe 10, or 15 even.
Then before you know it, you will be doing three sets of 20 and so on. While you’re down there on the floor, why not do some leg presses, and a couple of push-ups – the half ones designed for women.
So, when you look back on those feelings of dread you once felt at the thought of an early morning walk, you can feel good about yourself and the healthy lifestyle you have adopted and are able to successfully maintain and enjoy.
