I realize its been forever and a day since I visited my blog site and shared my Journey. Let me break out my thinking cap and start to reflect back on 2020 in my own way. The year didn’t really allow for much external Journeys and the only Exploring done was how to exist indoors. I did find a new type of Journey which was managed indoors.
Peloton Nation!- That’s right I joined the many thousands if not millions of people far and wide on a journey with a bike.. an indoor bike.
Never in my wildest dreams did I ever think I would exercise on a stationary bike. I needed something that would allow me to do some means of a cardio workout and this seemed to be the best option at the time. As anyone that knew me, that was the only piece of equipment every time I visited the gym would I look at and say “nah -nope not doing that it’s way toooooooo boring”. Once I got the bike I quickly found out it wasn’t boring at all. Once I got over the 14 day sore bootay adapting to the seat syndrome, I discovered there are so many options and rides out there, Tabata, HIIT, Power Zones, Low Impact, numerous rides based on music genres and the instructors, I don’t think I have found one that isn’t good. Each instructor has found a way that fueld my desire to ride. They offer other workouts as well, Strenghth, Cardio, outdoor walks, I even have learned how to meditate and do some Yoga. .Yes the struggle is still real to get on and ride, I kick myself for struggling at all. To this day I have over 300 rides and closing in on 900 total workouts. Everyone has their own struggles when it comes to working out, whether it be something that happened with ones health, work or everyday life events. Finding time to jump on for 5-10 minutes can help over come anxities and stress. Never forget that part of each of our journeys are to be in the moment, live for today as we can’t control or are promised tomorrow, especially as we grow older. I just need to practice and focus on that advice 😉
JourneyOn!
