I am participating in BlogHer’s NaBloPoMo
for the month of January.
Today’s writing prompt question is: “What
is your favorite way to recharge when you feel drained of energy?”
I don’t know if this is my favorite way to re-charge but
it is one that always works for me. Plain and simple it is exercise.
Something I haven’t been very diligent about lately. Actually, the treadmill has been idle
for over a month.
My routine had been brisk walking for 45 to 60 minutes,
maintaining my heart rate at between 128-139, four to 5 days a week.
When I am on that regiment, I feel physically stronger. My joint aches and pains are reduced.
My emotional state stabilizes and I am more mentally
alert.
My level of energy increases and I don’t have that
sluggish, dull feeling.
In fact, I’m pretty sure I don’t misplace my keys or phone
as frequently. The times I find myself rushing into another room, and then wondering
why I came into the room don’t happen as often.
Actually, writing this post has reminded me that I am
tired of being tired and should dust off that treadmill.
Besides, I have some of my best conversations with myself
during those 45 minutes.
Yep, starting tomorrow…

Oh, I so need an treadmill,and the motivation to actually use it! :)
ReplyDeleteGreat post
Thanks. Treadmills are actually pretty good. No need to bother about cute workout gear, just throw on the sneakers and go.
DeleteI have a love-hate relationship with my treadmill lol.
ReplyDeleteI know what you mean. I push myself the whole time I am on it. But I love the way I feel after I finish.
Deletei KNOW I have the best conversations with myself while exercising - I actually start my days with either an hour of fast walking (with the dogs) or about 45 minutes on the Elliptical Cross Trainer. The walking is the best becasue it is outside, generally in the dark. Kind of a good time and place to be alone with myself. Physical exercise and I have been dedicated partners since I started college and I don't know what I would do without him. His company is the best.
ReplyDeleteI got back into the swing of things this morning. It does so make such a difference.
