Some time ago in a gc some friends were talking about emerging into fitness routines. I was still figuring out what type of exercise is a good fit for me & was slowly realizing that:
https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🙋🏽‍♀️" title="Glückliche Frau, die eine Hand hebt (mittlerer Hautton)" aria-label="Emoji: Glückliche Frau, die eine Hand hebt (mittlerer Hautton)">I like movement but get frustrated when I can& #39;t execute steps properly
https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🙋🏽‍♀️" title="Glückliche Frau, die eine Hand hebt (mittlerer Hautton)" aria-label="Emoji: Glückliche Frau, die eine Hand hebt (mittlerer Hautton)"> I like repetition
https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🙋🏽‍♀️" title="Glückliche Frau, die eine Hand hebt (mittlerer Hautton)" aria-label="Emoji: Glückliche Frau, die eine Hand hebt (mittlerer Hautton)"> I prefer standing exercises vs on the ground
https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🙋🏽‍♀️" title="Glückliche Frau, die eine Hand hebt (mittlerer Hautton)" aria-label="Emoji: Glückliche Frau, die eine Hand hebt (mittlerer Hautton)"> I like cardio
Indoor walking checks all these boxes for me, so that& #39;s what I do.
I considered the following:
https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="✅" title="Fettes weißes Häkchen" aria-label="Emoji: Fettes weißes Häkchen"> body condition
https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="✅" title="Fettes weißes Häkchen" aria-label="Emoji: Fettes weißes Häkchen"> threshold/endurance level
https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="✅" title="Fettes weißes Häkchen" aria-label="Emoji: Fettes weißes Häkchen"> ease
A lot may dismiss that 3rd one because of the "no pain no gain" mindset, but I have to be able to do it consistently. I have to go at my own pace & push myself according to my level of skill
It feels better when I know I can do it, rather than feel frustrated that I can& #39;t, which would only be discouraging & dispiriting in the end. If something makes you feel good after doing it, it& #39;s more likely you come back to do it again the next day.
Before you know it, you have a habit. You have a practice. I& #39;ve been doing this since October, who knows about the numbers re weight lost but Idc. I only know I feel stronger, more focused, have more energy. Less irritable, maybe. That& #39;s a forever wip.
But here are some of my faves lol:
https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="👟" title="Sportschuh" aria-label="Emoji: Sportschuh"> Reps to the Rhythm - Keoni is Filipino & has many cats that crash his walks https://youtube.com/channel/UC3lEhUBNqIrFMatB9Zgxo0g">https://youtube.com/channel/U...
His style is non-verbal, he gives cues to the next step via hand gestures, facial expressions. The moves are simple to follow, but you can really get a good sweat out of his sessions. Length varies from 10 mins-over an hour.
https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="👟" title="Sportschuh" aria-label="Emoji: Sportschuh"> Get Fit With Rick. Way more chatty than Keoni, but I like his energy. Steps are also simple & he encourages users to add their own flavor & do "whatever you like". Length varies from 15 mins-1 hour https://youtube.com/c/RickBhullarFitness">https://youtube.com/c/RickBhu...
https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="👟" title="Sportschuh" aria-label="Emoji: Sportschuh"> Walk at Home by Leslie Sansone. More structured, so pretty much you know the basic steps & the variations coming to you. The tracks used are proprietary to the program so no pop songs, unlike the previous recs. https://youtube.com/c/LeslieSansonesWalkatHome">https://youtube.com/c/LeslieS...
https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="👟" title="Sportschuh" aria-label="Emoji: Sportschuh"> Up to the BEat Fit. Gina B& #39;s sessions are a little more strenuous, but she has awesome cooldowns & stretches. https://youtube.com/c/UptotheBEatFit">https://youtube.com/c/Uptothe...
https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="👟" title="Sportschuh" aria-label="Emoji: Sportschuh"> Zumba Korea TV. Jay& #39;s warmups & cooldowns have been a staple since I started. Some Zumba videos are not my style, but I was comfy enough w/ these warmups & the cooldowns make me finish on a brighter, higher note. https://youtube.com/c/ZumbaKoreaTV ">https://youtube.com/c/ZumbaKo...
I& #39;m always on the lookout for new videos, so I may add to this thread as I discover new favorites https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="😊" title="Lächelndes Gesicht mit lächelnden Augen" aria-label="Emoji: Lächelndes Gesicht mit lächelnden Augen">
