Day 15: Mindful Exercise

image



Hi ,


Mindfulness can go a long way with exercise.


A fun fact i love sharing when I am coaching a tough class: Did you know that when you think you are "tapped out" - when you think you have truly hit the wall, you actually have about 40% more aerobic and strength capacity left?


In other words, you're not done


This concept can be applied to all movement. When you feel you are EXHAUSTED and simply don't have it in you to do a workout, can't you still do an exercise snack? When you make a move to go for a walk, can't you do any extra five minutes? We can habit stack our habit stack - in other words, more is more.


One vital point about Mindfulness:


Listen to your body as an act of mindfulness.


This weekend, the weather was beautiful and I wanted to go for a run. I am a passionate runner, but I haven't been "cleared" to run since my injury. The old me would have gone anyway :-) But, I paused. I listened. And instead, I chose to go for a walk. That was a small win for me.


If you are having an insanely crazy time, go into the portal and do a FLOW. If you need to anything to light a fire in you, do 1 or 3 exercise snacks! Exercise is the greatest domino in our lives.
