Not a fitness tip


In the middle of the bodypump class as I watch my thighs wibble long after I stopped moving and as my glasses and shirt continue to be drenched from my sweat, this is the proudest I am of the team work that my mind and body are capable of.  

After years of gyming I am now mentally and physically capable of keeping up the pace with my classmates albeit out of tune.  

The ability to cheer myself on during the sessions distracts my mind long enough for me to think objectively about my life and the lessons I may be missing and the direction I want it to head. While my mind giggles at how silly I look in this class, I think about my woes and how I may be misreading the facts in. In that moment I am capable of seeing my own strength and that empowers me.   

Every week we say we will give up this and that in a bid to get healthy. We know that the crispy vegan rolls, chips and cider - we all have our own variation - ain't doing us a world of good, counting the days between poops, yet we continue to indulge our bodies.  
But exercise is where you come to talk the walk you have to look after your body there and then, slack can result to injury. Bad form can literally cause damage. 

You come home and you know that was good coz your body feels good you feel good, you know that eating continues this feeling of goodness, yet you reach for the oven no effort quick food. You know what you are eating is only good for the right here and now and holds no nutritious substance. Convenience wins most nights. 

This year my intention is to stop empty convenience, limit the amount of nutritiously empty food I consume, limit the amount of media, especially that lacking substance and pazzzazzz. I want to use this time to fast, read books, make friends, make money, travel the world, cum in different hotels, explore the unexplored, laugh at the wibble of my thigh and to live my bestest of life. 

Basically big up the exercise, special shoutout to the gym and the gym class massive!

P.s Its simply to acknowledge how awesome working out makes me feel, how I can feel the muscles of my mind strength at the same time those of my body do. A recommendation of exercise, I guess it is a tip aaaaah, am I straying from the mission statement? 
I don't know depends on how you feel.
