If you want to motivate yourself to exercise, you should choose a journal or notebook you love. Why not be excited to write in it? Or, even something to decorate in it. This will encourage you to write daily. The more you write the more you encourage yourself to exercise every day. The better you feel the more you be encouraged. Day 3 of the 7-day workout challenge.

I find Pilates helped with my tight muscles. I don’t stretch as much as I would like so Pilates helped with that. Pilates allow me to improve on flexibility. This prevents me from pulling something or preventing me from hurting myself. With yoga, sometimes I do worry I am not doing the correct position but I don’t have the same issue with Pilates. This is my Day 3 of the 7-day workout challenge. You should try Pilates for yourself.

What I did I do on day 2? I did not have as much time. This is not surprising being a mom. I want to make time. I turn on my timer for 10 minutes to ready for a jog. Then, at home on a spot or I jog around the house. I can turn on my favorite series while jogging at home. The time goes faster when you are occupied. This is my process for my day 2 of the 7-day exercise challenge.

Yoga

Yoga is an extremely important part of the exercise before and after a jog. After jogging, I spend a small amount of time to do yoga. Yoga helps to prevent injuries. Different poses aim to target different parts of the muscle. This forces you to slow down which can be very difficult. Yoga helps to reduce stress. Not only that but yoga helps with the focus.

The Beginning

When you start exercising, the first couple of days might feel tough. However, if you kept on wanting to give up, remind yourself how you would feel after a workout. Or, treat yourself to something you would enjoy. This would encourage you to exercise. I don’t know if you have ever heard about bullet journals but it helped me. I find putting together a chart in the bullet journal and each time I workout I would mark it down. This helps to encourage me to exercise every day. When I mark it down, it is very fulfilling. And this pushes me to exercise more.

This is my day 2 of the 7-day exercise challenge. What would you do to challenge yourselves for a good workout, even just 5 to 10 minutes would help.

If you need help to de-stress, do try aromatherapy it is very soothing.

Things to think about after a good workout.

7 day workout challenge

adminNovember 4, 2019November 4, 2019Leave a comment

At home, I have always done some minor exercises. Whenever I Have some time I would do some exercise like a couple of minutes of Pilates, aerobics, or yoga. However, I find that the amount of exercise is not enough. I feel like I need to do some more. I decided to challenge myself to a 7-day workout challenge.

Taking a Toll

This September, both of my children are in school. I decided to keep them occupied by signing my children for more activities. My children are quite energetic I felt I need to keep them busy with activities. I believe the regular school, activities, and all the running around are taking effect on my body. Also, I still need to do my regular mommy duties. All these add up. I believe I need the 7-day workout challenge.

Issue

I find I am extra grumpy dealing with my kids. I feel I needed some kind of outlet. Or, an intense workout to release some stress. My children don’t give me any breaks. They want something every 5 minutes. My daughter either wants a snack one minute. Then, she is asking to go to the playground next. I feel I don’t even have time to catch my breath. Constantly, I am reacting or doing rather than having any time to think. It is extremely exhausting.

The first week

My goal for the first week is to take baby steps to improve my stress level or improve my health. I want to start slow. First, I walk and slow jog around my block. I aim to jog for 7 days straight. Therefore, this is my 7-day workout challenge to push myself to run for 7 days straight. Hopefully, I will slowly increase the amount of time I run as well.

I am inspired to do more stretches or yoga to improve my body’s flexibility.

When exercising it is important to snack on healthy snacks, try these energy bites.
