Nat’s taking Boxing Day to get back to strength training

I love the gift of time over the holidays. No alarm. No paid work. No chores (we did them earlier this week). It’s lovely and relaxing.

Michel has returned to spinning on the regular indoors. We are taking time today to get our strength training back in our schedule.

It’s a common experience to have an ebb and flow to routines. Thankfully the breaks are getting shorter as we get older.

Being less fussed about a break makes it easier to pick it up again. Literally no one cares if I’m perfect at sticking to a routine. Everyone celebrates any workout I do get in. Yay!

I’m rewarded with more pain free days when I get strength training in and that is very motivating. Yay!

Plus all my silly little physiotherapy exercises have taught me there are infinite ways to challenge my body. No fear of being bored. Yay!

I hope you are getting time to do what you want today. It’s the gift that keeps on giving.

There’s nothing dumb about dusting off my dumbbells!

Let us know what you think....
