I know what it’s like to walk into a gym and have the hot, thin, young thing behind the counter look you up and down and you immediately get the urge to run…
I know what it’s like to want and need help. To look at the girl in the mirror and wish you didn’t hate what you see. Wish you didn’t hurt all. the. dang. time. I know what it’s like to have anxiety attacks over the thought of trying on clothes. To think that there is no money, no time, no possibility of me getting healthy. The classes are too hard. The equipment is too expensive. I don’t know what I am doing. All the tapes playing in my head. All the excuses. All the depression. All the pain. All the trauma. I know it very, very well.
But I was able to find ways that worked for me and I will share them here with you. You don’t have to go to a gym. You don’t have to know what you’re doing. You don’t have to ask a single person for help. (Please do talk to your doctor before starting any new exercise regimen, so they can help you on your journey.)
You don’t have to buy or pay for anything or go anywhere. Every single thing I do, I will show modifications that you can do at any fitness level and without any extra equipment. I will give you examples of how I got started with my chosen activities and hobbies on the cheap. And how, with my ADHD, I stay motivated to keep on my fitness journey while also giving myself grace and love when I need it.
If I can get to a more fit place, nearing 50 with perimenopause and all her joys along for the ride…You can, too. I have not ever been an athletic person in my life. In school, I was the book worm with the inhaler sitting on the bleachers in PE class. But now, I look for ways to work fitness into my life. I find ways to enjoy fitness, and add fellowship with friends and family into it!
I am training to ride my bike in the Transplant Games of America this summer and walk the Camino de Santiago next Spring! I hope you will join in on the fun and begin your own fitness journey right along with me.
I plan to have local group outdoor bikes rides, walks, and classes when weather permits and also offer group rides on Rouvy, as well as on demand workout videos, and online classes in the future!!
As these are added, everything fitness related will be able to be found right here on this page!
