The difference exercise makes!

I was having a particularly sluggish day yesterday. I couldn’t find the energy, or the motivation, to do anything. And I didn’t even want to.

But in early evening, after having done very little steps compared to most days, my husband said that I had better go out on to the treadmill and get some steps in – for my leg. So out I went.

I stuck on my headphones and listened to my music, and walked. And the first ten minutes was ok, but by the next ten minutes I was full of energy and increased the speed a bit. I did an extra long walk (as in 40mins instead of 20mins!) as I wasn’t planning on doing any other walking.

And when I came in, I was full of energy and motivation and was able to get loads of bits and pieces done.

Now this morning I’ve no energy or motivation again, so I should be taking my own advice here and get some exercise in but I’ll wait until it’s time to go do the playschool pickup and walk up with the buggy. But I really was amazed at the difference the exercise makes to my energy levels!
