Today is a huge NSV for me. I say 'is' because it is still morning as I write this.
I have never been an exerciser. I am one of those slow joggers who gets a tomato red face within 10 minutes of moving my body in any sort of substantial way. I am also overbese (my word for kidding to myself that I'm not obese when I am). I am 33lbs down from my known biggest but my BMI is still a solid 35. Needless to say, exercise has never been my game.
But lately I have been walking, and trying to walk for am hour a day and do at least 7,500 steps. I have been listening to podcasts. And it turns out I have been enjoying it without even realising!
Today I looked out of the window to a thick frost with the sun shining and I thought 'I need to be outside right now.' And I did! I'm two miles into a walk around the countryside right now and it's beautiful and crisp and lush, and I'm enjoying exercise!
So this is my note to anybody who feels the same. Give it a go, get outside, and just move. You might just find you like it. I have tried so many things, from running to lifting to rugby, and none of it worked but I've found something that does and it feels wonderful.
