Exercise has never been a priority in my life, hence the shape I’m in. Now that I have dropped some weight I’m actually starting to think about it. It is also recommended on our program. We suggest some helpful exercises in our program manual. Many of our patients share their exercise routine with us. Walking, Running, Weight Lifting, Boot Camp and Zumba Classes have all been mentioned. What has been very rewarding is when a patient has dropped a certain amount of their weight and now expresses a desire to participant in a Marathon or 10 K. Being a part of their accomplishment is why I love my job.
My recollection of exercise classes is negative. Participating in classes with physically fitter people than me and trying to keep up at there pace has been self defeating. And I won’t even address the whole work out clothing issue. I want to buy that cute outfit featured on the cover of my favorite sports clothing catalog, (the company shall remain nameless), however, the largest size is a 12. Guess what folks; I’m not a size 12. Someday, but not today. Can you feel how stressed out I am even before getting myself to a class! Sometimes it’s not worth it. I did not think it was possible but I had a completely different experience a couple days ago. Yes, there was the pre-class self negative talk going on in my head but I had to show up. I am so grateful I did. Maybe, it’s because I am such a novice in the exercise scene but I felt that this workout was unlike anything I have ever experienced. How is it possible to have had this dynamic workout, yes people I was perspiring, in such a gentle approach? I’m hooked. I want more. I have risen earlier than usual to perform the exercises I was taught before the house awakens. I could hear my body creak, my muscles stretch, and my breathing. I feel energized. And you can too. This amazing workout was at The Body Architect. Personally, I had never heard of the place but Dr.Voisine introduced us to it. This is just another positive tool on our road to physical enlightenment. If you would like more information please feel free to contact our office. Thanks for reading.
