Barbara Niven Instagram – I think it’s important to surround ourselves with positive words and intentions. This is set up next to my treadmill. “Every moment is another chance to go towards your dream or away from it.” So every time I feel like I don’t want to get on the dang thing, I am reminded why and what I am doing it for.
The older I get, I realize more and more that beauty is not about being skinny. Strong is the new beautiful! That’s why I work out with a trainer three times a week. I know me… if I have an appointment with someone to train, I can’t put it off. Sometimes I would literally clean out my drawers instead of getting on the treadmill.
I try to get 5000 to 10,000 steps a day, and love going for long walks around the neighborhood. Three days a week with my trainer I work on my core, plus weight training, squats, yoga stretches and balance. It makes such a difference in my mental strength too.
I know that I am getting older, but I refuse to become a couch potato. It just feels too good to be strong, and that gives me energy and confidence.
Have your thoughts and routines about exercise changed over the years? What are you doing now to stay fit and healthy? Any tips you want to share? And if you are going through a couch potato phase yourself, why not get up right now and start walking. Around your room, or out the front door and around the block. Just take the first step.
Remember… Every moment is a chance to go towards your dream or away from it. You can change. Just like that. Give yourself the gift of being your strongest and most powerful self! #positivevibes #motivation | Posted on 01/Jun/2024 03:40:35
