Today, I'll begin to explore the other factor in healthy weight-loss --> exercise.
Sometimes, considering and beginning to exercise is the most challenging aspect of adopting a healthy lifestyle. Even knowing that it can be the most uplifting, empowering and efficacious component of the whole process, doesn't make it any easier.
I feel so tired all the time, it is hard to even think about exercise, let alone do it. I have to find a way to move myself from exhausted to enthusiastic. So, I'll begin by putting together a list of exercises. I'll include ones I like and those I don't. I'll list all types such as high-impact, low-impact, aerobic, anaerobic, weight-bearing, isometric, calisthenic, etc., etc., etc. I'll think about things I used to like to do, but don't do now because of my weight - such as skating or jogging.
And, because it just crossed my mind, I will share with you a fond memory of a JFK-era exercise routine we used to do at school. It was called "Go, You Chicken Fat, Go". Here, if it works, is a YouTube video of some kids doing it.
