Fit Tips

Haven't tried any of them yet, but honestly I'm going to try them. I just subscribed to another podcast (that's what I do when my brain craves the stimulation school gives without the homework stress) called  Get-Fit Guy. I looked at it because the newest podcast was called "What If I'm Too Stressed To Exercise?". Which is basically my whole excuse for not exercising. So I wanted to know what he'd say.  He had some pretty good tips, and I've linked to the podcast at the end. Basically here's what I learned.





1) Exercise does help with stress (but the same feel-good chemicals that are boosted in exercise can increase stress in high amounts). So score 1 for Kenzie and score 1 for all of my exercise conscious friends. We both win.

2) Do a 10 minute stretch in the morning. Doesn't take long, helps start the day out right, and will make you want to exercise later.

3) Just breath right. Take a few seconds to get your breathing regular when you're stressed. I'm going to call this mini-meditation. Since I just love the concept of meditation. ; p

4) Tell yourself you'll only do the exercise for a super short very specific amount of time. I'll take a 5 minute walk or do 20 sit-ups. Maybe you'll end up going longer, but either way you've done something.

He's got a lot of other podcasts that look helpful too. Well here's to planning New Year goals!

Here's the podcast.
