The cold weather has not been my friend this week as far as my January challenge goes. For about 2 weeks now, I have gotten out each day after work and going for a walk. I enjoy getting out and just being in the fresh air. It does me good. But winter is here, after all, and it's not going to stop just because I want to get out and walk. I realize that cold temperatures are relative depending on where you live. Last week we had several days where the highs were in the low 30s. That may not seem like a big deal to some people but to us here in NC, that's cold. I will never get used to it LOL That, in combination with wind and accompanying rain has delayed my outdoor walking pursuits.
Now here is where technology is useful to me. Since I could not get out and walk, I used YouTube to find some good exercise videos to work on my cardio. Let me tell you, there are lots of things out there to choose from. And that is great for me because it will keep me out of the exercise rut. I want to keep things interesting and varied. If my exercise routine becomes boring, chances are I will stop. Or at least I will skip more days than I need to. But I have found good chair exercises, yoga for beginners, tai chi, aerobics, shadow boxing vids. And it's helpful to have someone in front of me guiding me. I find it motivating. So, while the weather chooses to remain wintry, I will work up a sweat indoors!
