It’s a bright new year and I am
so motivated to… go back to bed.
I have a cold. I may assure you that I am dying, but I’m
not. I have stuffy everything and
a cough and a headache and all the usual symptoms. I am crabby and achy.
So what to do about exercise?
Go gently.
Today is not the day for me to
ride the extra hill miles, or to add a few more intense intervals to my cardio
training. Not the day to nudge the
bench press weight up one notch.
Not the day to tackle some of those tough Pilates exercises. Today the goal is to show up.
Fitness is a process. The good news about that is that no one
day is the be all and end all of success.
The bad news is that it is never done, crossed off forever. Which means that I—we—have to keep on
doing it.
So: show up. Take
the dog around the block. Spend
five minutes on the bike. Do one
set of pushups. Then go rest and
get well.
