One reason it is good to
experiment with lots of different kinds of exercise is that we then have
choices. I might wake up in the morning feeling
strong, so I can get my weights done that day.
If I’m a little sluggish or depressed, I can choose cardio to improve my
energy level and lift my mood. If I’m
stiff, I can do some Pilates or yoga.
Really bad mood? Time to go
swimming.
We all have to adjust to
the weather, time constraints, sleep patterns, injuries, illnesses, traffic, and
whatever effect phases of the moon might have on our days (that last one is
worse if we happen to be werewolves…). Having
lots of options means that we are less likely to have to suck up doing some
kind of exercise we would really rather not do in the current circumstances.
Please note: I am not advocating having so many options
that we run into the jam problem (that thing where we are in the store, facing
an entire wall of different kinds of jam, and we feel absolutely unable to make
a selection because our brains shut down instead of being willing to compare
fig with raspberry-blueberry with orange marmalade with sugar-free
boysenberry). We can narrow our options
based on our mood to strength or cardio or flexibility and go from there.
We can enjoy abundance!
