During the COVID 19 viral season, one of the challenges is not able to exercise. Oh, do I miss my gym routine. 4 months ago, when I was doing my daily gym routine, I would count the hour, or minutes, and hope that hour of Zumba would finish quickly. Now that the lockdown is in place, getting back to the \u201cBoot Camp Exercise\u201d becomes a luxury. It probably won\u2019t happen for another 10 -12 months.<\/p>\n

Alas! How do I get myself to move my butt? I got it, there is no negotiation. The alternative is excessive weight gain and possible metabolic syndrome with a big fat belly. With the horrible big belly in mind, I decided to set up my exercise routine. I negotiated with myself that I would walk for an hour during my lunch break, (yes, I am still working) and will do at least half an hour of exercise in front of the TV after dinner. Let me share with you my struggle (a successful one though.)<\/p>\n

First step: I had to convince myself that I needed the exercise routine. It was quite obvious, the waistline is getting bigger and the arms are hanging out flaps of unwanted fat. Yes, accepting<\/strong> the bad situation is step number one. Just like in the AA: confessing that \u201cI am an alcoholic\u201d is the first phase to begin healing. Okay, I admit that I am overweight due to the COVID 19, and I need help!<\/p>\n

The second step is discipling<\/strong> myself. I cannot give myself an excuse not to do it. I might have a long working day, but I should proceed with moving the arms and legs. Now, it could be boring if you just throw your extremities in a random fashion. I, therefore, developed a set of motions for my head, arms, legs, and belly. To make it fun, I chose the best time to do it: after dinner and watch my favorite news.<\/p>\n

When it becomes a routine, or habit<\/strong>, you will forget to give yourself an excuse not to do it.\u00a0 Now I am programmed to do it between 6 to 7 p.m. I picked my TV news stories, and sure enough, the 30 minutes exercise program is not as painful as I thought.<\/p>\n

Now I hope I would arrive to the final stage, and that is, incorporating this exercise as part of me<\/strong>. No whining, no excuses! Just like Nike\u2019s slogan: Just do it!<\/p>\n

To tell you the truth \u2013 I have not arrived to the last stage yet. But with the grace of God, I hope I can do it. Yes, you can do it too.<\/p>\n

\"You<\/p>\n

We love to hear from you: kunlouis@gmail.com<\/a><\/p>\n
