Over the years I’ve started so many exercise regimens that I’ve lost count. \u00a0Some lasted weeks, sometimes I would stay with it for a few months, but nothing stuck. \u00a0Alas, I am living proof that doing something for 90 days is NOT long enough to make it a permanent change in your life.<\/span>

\n<\/span>\"\"<\/a>I’ve joined gyms thinking that if I was paying for the membership I would use it. \u00a0I might as well have withdrawn $40 a month from my bank account and lit it on fire. I got a Wii for the sole reason of using it to finally get in shape. \u00a0Now I use that to play board games with my nephew. \u00a0<\/span>
\n
\n<\/span>I am smart enough to know that I should exercise frequently. \u00a0 But, simply put, I hate it. \u00a0I am uncoordinated. \u00a0I don’t like being sweaty and stinky and I don’t like to be around other humans when I am sweaty and stinky. \u00a0 I have never felt that “runners high” or whatever happiness you’re supposed to feel after a good workout. The only happiness I feel is relief that I’m stopping whatever awful thing I was doing. \u00a0<\/span>
\n
\n<\/span>Why I am bringing this up now? \u00a0Well, a couple weeks ago I got a wild hair to try getting some activity in my life again. \u00a0I went to Amazon and purchased a DVD called “Yoga for Beginners”. \u00a0<\/span>
\n
\n<\/span>Granted, it’s only been a couple weeks, but so far I don’t hate it. \u00a0I’m not sweating much and nothing is jiggling uncomfortably or chafing. \u00a0The woman narrating has a lovely soothing voice. \u00a0She frequently reminds me to breathe- which can be difficult when you are knotted up like a pretzel- and tells me that that it’s OK that I can’t achieve the same level of pretzel that she’s demonstrating.\u00a0<\/span>

\n<\/span>So, here’s to years of Namaste!<\/span>
\nWish me luck!<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
