30 Day Daily Exercise Challenge - Day 1

30 Days

Why have a 30-day exercise challenge? Glad you asked. Lots people say that it takes at least 21 days of doing a behavior consistently to become a routine. Well, maybe and maybe not.

There are lots of articles written about this. You can use your friend google to check on it. Or if you value your privacy and don't want lots of ads to show up wherever you go online, use your friend duckduckgo or whoever you trust to bring you results.

That said, it might take 21 days to form a new habit, i.e. exercise. But it might take way longer to break an old one i.e. sitting on the couch and thinking about exercising.

So, why 30 days?

  • Because it is a round number.
  • Because it is a long time.
  • Because it is really not that long and maybe doable.
  • And because a lot of people do 30-day challenges so it seems familiar.

The Challenge

Move your body every day!

Do Yoga or Pilates, dance like crazy in your living room, run up and down your stairs, walk around your yard, take a 10-mile hike or whatever takes your fancy.

I am doing this to hold me accountable. If you want to join in, post a picture (selfie) of you doing something in the comments. With a date, if you can. Or a video. Up to you.

Rewards

To tell you the truth - you doing something good for yourself is probably the biggest reward you can get out of this.

I will share the SBD of the post among all who participated - but that might not be much.

I can't even promise to upvote each comment because my voting power depletes fast. But I will do what I can.

So, are you with me?

See you tomorrow :)

Love it! Health and happy bodies yay!

Are you going to join me? More fun if we do it together :)

Great initiative, I would like to begin making stretching every day, but not yet able to force my mind motivating ;)

Great!! Did you stretch? :)

I do only when dolor is too strong (old problems since an accident), that relax the muscles. But if I find the motivation, hope to begin making it usually one day :)

Yes, do!! I think dolor is pain in English, right? Especially if you had an accident and are in pain, you must exercise!! Best to have a physical therapist give some advice!

Ah yes.. Thank you making learn this ;) Yes I heard swimming and stretching. I'll start one day :)

Okay. I keep bugging you :)

Aie... Don't know what bugging mean ;) Will have a look to reverso

Aahh ;) Okay with pleasure :) See you !

Bugging means that I keep reminding you to exercise until you get tired hearing it and just go ahead and exercise to get me off your back :)

Go go go! I always say I'll do exercise.. But my body don't cooperate!😅

hahaha. Mind over matter! Or find something your body really likes to do and it doesn't feel to her like exercise! It feels like fun! I think that is the trick!!!

maybe laughter yoga? I think I will do some videos with laughter exercises and you can tell me if you like them :)
