| Who wouldn’t want to take a walk here? |
A few pounds have crept back on my waist as well as some tension in my shoulders and neck.
Lately, I haven’t been at the gym as often as I’d like mainly because “I don’t have time.”
I know we all say that. So I’m trying to do five minutes here and there for my mental and physical betterment. I won’t get pumped up probably but I’ll feel better.
For the past week, in the middle of the day I walk for 10 minutes around my neighborhood. Not a big deal, I know. But it’s something. And mentally it feels much better to look around in the sunlight for just a few minutes than sit in my office.
I’m also challenging myself to stop, drop and do 25 pushups at least four times a day. Takes 30 seconds and even that little amount of exertion makes a difference. If not, pushups then it’s 50 crunches.
Little bits. Little bits.
Just those small changes and I lost 3 pounds in a week.
I’d love to hear what small changes readers here make to improve mental and physical health.
Let me hear from you.
It turns out there is a “couch potato gene” or rather a possible mutation in the gene which regulates activity levels.
So, the desire for physical activity may not be entirely up to you. BUT – it doesn’t mean you can’t impose your will on this gene. You can consciously decide to get up and be more active.
Be smarter in two minutes – watch the video and you’ll have something interesting to say to friends over cocktails. Or at the gym 🙂
