This is going to sound crazy considering my last episode, but I boycotted exercise for almost a decade. Let me rewind a bit… I was very (athletically) active in my teens and young adult life—even doing pre-natal workouts—up until I had my first baby in 2011. But after that, life became very overwhelming. Running a business, having a newborn, being married, living in a new city…it was all a lot. And I did what many moms do—I let something I previously loved to do (exercise), fall by the wayside as everything else took priority.
Thanks for sharing this. I also feel like I would feel better overall if I moved my body more. I am trying to find the exercise I can love. Or at least not hate. The tough thing for me is I have never (yet) found it. Even as a kid. I was not an active kid. I was a read a book inside all day kid. Always. I’ve tried so many activities and I find ones I hate less but none I don’t hate. But this I spires need to keep on trying because I do want that feeling. But maybe I’ll just massage, eat, and sex for my endorphins 🥴😉🤣🤷🏻♀️
This has ALWAYS been a big struggle for me. Watching my mom endure jazzercise classes in the 80’s, with not much glee really imprinted on me. Now as I’m dealing with the need for a hip replacement not even walking is much fun. But there has to be a form of exercise for everyone
I’m definitely in that ten year period you mentioned. I also played tennis growing up and would honestly love for that to be a part of my life again. Trying to figure out how to do that....
