Exercise!

May 07, 2009

Today is my first day with my personal trainer! Yay!  I am excited, but very scared.  I know I am very out of shape.  I know this because my Wii Fit tells me so :)  Seriously though, I can't even do one real push up.  I am glad that he is going to show me what I need to be doing for MY body.  Not every chubby women in America needs to be doing.

I find that exercise dvds help inspire me to do more.  They are helpful.  But,  I think about exercise, and I just want to say no I don't want to "exercise" I want to just live lifeee!  Hiking, skiing, white water rafting, swimming, rock climing, horse back riding,  just adventures.  Am I asking too much to feel like exercise should be, nor was it meant to be some kind of chore?  We are meant to move, dance, run, and play.  I used to play, I can't wait to be able to take adventures again.  

I have been doing Wii fit, and I just bought a fun little "Dance it off" dvd,  I had the Carmen Electra Stiptease Workout, but during a binge eating depression a year ago it was tossed out with the rest of my collection.  They were just too depressing to look at.  I hope that  soon I won't need dvds, or gimmicks, I hope that soon I will just naturally be doing healthy fun activites with the ones I love. 

I also hope I can get past namaste, salutation to the sun, and downward facing dog in Yoga, so I can get to the fun crazy looking poses. Should I join a class?  I think so, I just feel so under eduated and too weak and fat to not get embarassed in front of all the real Yogis.  I am hopeful one day I can call myself a Yogi :)

Namaste ;)

Suggestions on early toning routines would be great!!
