Hi reddit! I have about 100 lbs to lose and I am battling some hormonal issues, making it doubly hard to lose weight. This spring I decided I just wanted my body to feel better, and I started exercising purely for the emotional and physical health I knew I would gain.
In June I started kayaking at moderate intensity for 1.5 hours 3-4x a week. I have completely fallen in love with the sport and I wasn't expecting to see results so fast.
Not only has my stamina improved, but most of my back, neck and shoulder pain has also disappeared which is extraordinary. I have been suffering daily migraines and pinched nerves for about 15 years. May kayaking friends said this is likely due to my increased core strength. I wasn't sure if this could be true or not having kayaked only for 2 months, however today I realized it's real!
I was walking my dogs down a hill with a large incline and I slipped in the morning dew. I was positive I was going to wipe out, as I normally would, but this time I was able to stabilize myself just before hitting the ground with both my legs and my core. I one hundred percent would not have been able to do this in May.
This is one of the first NSVs I've ever had related to physical fitness, and I'm so empowered. It has me wondering what else my body is capable of and what else I can do if I was even stronger. I can't wait to find out!
