Day 8 – Week 2 – 2 mins

Well – that is a milestone. We have made it all the way to week 2 without losing a single day of exercise.

I know, I know, it’s all very easy at this stage. We’re only doing a minute or two of jigging about – you can’t call that proper exercise, you say. And you are right. But I tell you – if I had told myself I had to do half an hour of exercise every day for a week, I sincerely doubt I would have managed it. This way, I am learning to deal with all my resistance, all my excuses, all the million and one ways I’ve managed to get out of exercise in the past BEFORE it gets hard, BEFORE I lose the will to live at the thought of having to get hot and sweaty for half an hour.

Does that make some kind of sense?

Believe me – this habit of getting up and exercising first thing in the morning has to be well and truly ingrained before I get a chance to wimp out at the tough stuff.

So today. Two minutes of arm exercises with the mini medicine ball, and my work was done. How did you go?
