I exercised today!

JayLynn · 02-12-2013, 11:23 AM

I've pleaded guilty to not being the more active person I should be. But I am aware and working on it.

Thing is, I HATE exercise. I think it has some deep seeded connection to my junior high school years and the horrid P.E. teacher I had. Of course I am sure its more than just that, but that might be a big part of it. I felt she hated me! In 8th grade I was maybe 20 lbs overweight and thought I was obese .
She didn't help my fragile young teen ego by pushing me to do more all the time and calling me rude names, of course in front of all the kids.

I come from a family whose women's main topic of conversation was always weight, exercise, and clothes.

Anyway, today I just felt like moving. I turned on some music and stretched and danced and moved around for just about a half hour. I just kept moving until I raised my heart rate and had a good workout.

Not bad for this gramma!

And ya know what? If felt good! And I'm going to go do it again in awhile.

That's the absolute best kind of exercise --- the kind that you enjoy and WANT to do! You

Ack. Gym teachers. I have stories, too. GRRRRRR Good thing my kids have had good gym teachers!

Anyhoo, I'm so tickled for you! Sounds like you had fun!

good for you!
do gentle kind movement with your body and it will love you back

JayLynn · 02-12-2013, 02:43 PM

Thanks Dawn, Melinda, and Ei....I did have fun...so much fun I just had round 2! Oh my, I must be coming down with something...

Its not that I NEVER exercise. My other favorite thing is to ride my bike. We live on a big hill and busy road, so I don't feel comfortable riding it here at home so have to pack it up and bring it to a park, which I do most of the time at least once a week.

I don't know which part of the pacific northwest you are in, but you might love the bliss yoga I have fallen in love with. if you go to svaroopayoga dot org slash search instructor dot asp you can search from a drop down for your state and find a list of all the teachers. very gentle and healing for back/hips. I'm in Idaho

DeborahL · 02-12-2013, 03:33 PM

Good for you JayLynn! I love to dance too. I'm just glad there are no hidden cameras in my living room! LOL

I've checked out yoga classes here...haven't found any I can do. I live about an hour from seattle. I do like stretching/yoga.
