Exercising is one of my favorite hobbies
I exercise because it allows me to feel liberated. When I exercise, all of my inhibitions, insecurities, and fears momentarily fade away as I enjoy the adrenaline rush!
Exercise helps me improve my mental and emotional health. I find myself feeling more energized, well rested, and ready to conquer just about anything after I finish my exercise routine! Once my exercises have been done for the day, I feel invincible!
In addition, this hobby helps me look good and maintain good health – and it’s doctor recommended, to boot! Shopping is a dream because my body is fit, and I look awesome in just about anything!
To me, physical activity is therapeutic. I can truly be at one with my mind without interruptions or negativity. At these times, it’s just my mind, my body and me. And I truly believe that I’m becoming more in tune with my wants and needs by dedicating this time to myself on a regular basis.
I like to vary my routine every now and then to challenge myself and keep things fun. I take dance classes, do Tae Bo, and set small milestones for myself.
For example, if my current exercise is running, I make a goal of running five miles in a specific amount of time before I move onto a new exercise routine.
Today, I take care of my mind, body and soul by staying fit. Exercising is a fun hobby that I enjoy. I plan on keeping my routine vibrant for years to come!
