Exercise

I love the idea of exericse

and sometimes I love doing exercise

and I definitely love the results of exercise

Exercise is SO good for us

So why do I

you

all of us

struggle to fit it in

or avoid it

The health benefits of exercise are huge

If someone said to you

I have something that you can do that will

help you sleep better

reduce anxiety

keep your body in great shape

so that you look better

and feel better

Regulate blood sugar levels

In fact regulate everything in your body

Put a spring in your step

Give you positive vibes

Increase your confidence

and self esteem

Get a better perspective on life

And it’s free

You’d be curious wouldn’t you

But then if I said

It’s exercise – tadaa

Would you be disappointed

Would you hope that it was a pill

and you got instant results

Or a procedure where you get to lie on a bed

in a warm dark room with music playing

and have an amazing massage

and get off the bed with all those benefits

(Massage is amazing and we should also probably have more of those too)

But no

It’s exercise

As in

Get some exercise gear on

and get moving

What exercise are you doing right now

What exercise can you start doing that you stopped?

If I said your life depends on it

would you do it

Because your life does depend on it

And it can be anything

Go for a walk

a run

a swim

a class

a bike

It really doesn’t matter

Just pick something

and go and do it
