Making small changes.

Any workout is better than no workout. The point is to get your body moving. As someone who recently admitted to having anxiety/ depression, I can definitely say that getting up and doing something can heal your entire body. On my days off, I spend every hour laying around. Just laying. Not being productive in any way. When I start to write on my blogs I can only come up with negative things to say. I feel stuck in my body, which makes me feel stuck in my life. Life isn't hard. Shit happens, ya know? On the days that I decide to organize, clean, stretch, I feel like my life is easy. I know exercise releases endorphines and that may be the whole solution to my problem. I think the reason people, including myself, fail is because we think of working out in the wrong way. We put too much pressure on ourselves to break a sweat and leave the gym feeling shaky from such a vigorous workout. That's a fantastic feeling, one I am familiar with, by the way. But it doesn't have to be the only way. The thing about working out is if you start strong, your body has nothing to look foward to. Every workout video or session I've ever done has taught me that you have to increase obstacles and milestones in order to advance in your weight loss, strength training, etc. Let me stop now before I ramble too much. I'm no expert. I think the point is: you're not supposed to overdo it at first. What happens when you reach the point where your body isn't changing any more? You've built an immunity to your workout. You don't want that to happen.
