Hello Health: Just Get Moving

Just Be Active

I mentioned a few week ago in my latest "Day xx of 265" post that I had torn the muscle off my leg due to a fall whilst I was in Zambia, and it turns out that I've even damaged the ligament as well *booooo*. In the past few months I had really been getting into a proper gym routine and was even working with a trainer and then I got totally derailed by the news that it would take 6-12 weeks for my leg to heal. It sucks, I won't lie and  I'm in pain most days but that didn't mean that I should stop being active! For the past 5 weeks I've still been working with my trainer but we just work on my upper body and I'm slowly incorporating cycling into my routine and doing the exercises that my physiotherapist suggested. What I'm trying to get to is that any exercise is better than no exercise!  Running on the treadmill and not getting to your goal distance? So what, at least you're still trying! High five to you!

For me, exercise is not only about being fit and skinny (ok that is my dream haha) but it's about dedicating time each few days to improving my health - mentally and physically! 

So this week, take some time out to visit your local gym, take a walk around the block or to my lucky readers who live near the coast, take a bike ride (and I mean bicycle, not motorbike) down to the promenade and walk around for a bit. 

What do you do to stay active?
