Today’s news flash: exercise includes some things that feel
good.
Yes, there are times when we have
done something hard and we have kicked some butt and our butts feel like they
have been kicked and we feel amazing anyway, but that’s not what I’m talking
about. I’m talking about that
little-kid-at-recess-who-could-run-forever feeling, the one about the wind in
our hair and the new, super-fast tennies.
Also the peace that comes when we relax into a yoga pose or stretch
muscles that really need it. Or
maybe the feeling of length we find in our spine during Pilates. Or even the release that comes from
rolling on foam rollers or tune-up balls.
We need to make sure that some of
those things make it into our workouts.
Joy is allowed. It can be
embraced. And we will be better
for it.
