When I feel like I can’t exercise, I know I need to and I make myself get up. Once I’m up and moving I feel better. Once I’ve completed the exercise I feel great. The first move is the hardest, but you can do it!
Me too. It's really hard to get out of the chair sometimes. I find playing loud music helps me get up and do some marching on the spot or dancing. Currently Bob Marley does it for me! Good luck 😁
I agree. Am committed to water exercise but, struggle to get there
With exercise, motivation can be fleeting, so discipline is needed to get started. I'm a runner and there are days I really don't want to do my miles. However, I know I will feel better after I'm done, even on the days that the running is more difficult. So I set a time that I have to get started, and then do it, whether I'm in the mood or not. Same with walking the dog. When it's hot or really cold, I may prefer to stay indoors, but I know our dog needs the exercise and really looks forward to it, so we got out, rain or shine, every single day.
Me too. I keep promising myself to start exercising bcs I know it will make me feel better. However, I wake up tired & can't get myself to do much of anything. Plus I got new Migraine meds that cause tiredness. It's the last thing I need, but I get disappointed that I can't do what I know will help.
