Friday Emoji Contest #5, hosted by @freedomshift :: To exercise ๐โโ๏ธโน๏ธโโ๏ธ๐คพโโ๏ธ๐๏ธโโ๏ธ๐ฃโโ๏ธ๐ or not to exercise โ๐ซ๐ โโ That is (always) the questionโ.
๐ท๐๐ธ๐ผ A wonderful, beautiful Friday to all! ๐ป๐โ๐ ๐
More often than not, we ๐๐ people telling us that exercise is ๐ for us. I sometimes wonder ๐ค๐คจ, is it really ๐ for us ๐โ Nope, I will not be sharing any research ๐ฉ๐ปโ๐ฌโ๏ธ๐๐ก numbers๐ขor data ๐๐๐๐ that will prove whether it is or it is not but this is more of an experience ๐.
For the past week ๐๐๐ , I did not have much โ to exercise ๐โโ๏ธ. And when I say exercise, it usually means sweating it out ๐ ๐ฆ, huff and puff ๐ค, you know, feeling really worked out ๐ช. For the entire week ๐ , I felt quite ๐๐๐ค๐ ๐ก๐ฐ, with work ๐ป๐ฑ๐, with anything for that matter. And the truth is, this is when you just do not ๐ซโfeel ๐ ๐ โโ๏ธ like you are in a mood for anything much except to go through your daily routine ๐ต. The funny thing is, when you are feeling like this ๐๐๐ค๐ , it requires quite a bit of ๐effort to push ๐yourself to do something like to exercise.
So today, since it is Friday, I pushed ๐myself ๐ถโto go for a swim ๐โโ๏ธ. With a sunny sky โ๏ธ waiting โณ for me (too bad I couldn't bring my phone ๐ต๐ฑ into the pool, else I could do a #actifit and see how swimming ๐โโ๏ธ affects the ๐ฑ app's steps count.. remind ๐me ๐๐โโ๏ธto get one of those phone waterproof protectors), into the pool I went. I ๐โโ๏ธ and ๐โโ๏ธ for about 4๏ธ5 minutes โ, then I tried to "jog ๐" in the pool. After about an hour's worth of workout, I stepped ๐ out of the pool.
After a good shower ๐ฟ and a shade tanner ๐ค๐ป๐ค๐ฝ , I felt very good ๐คฉ, pumped up ๐ช in fact. Just feeling like a sense of accomplishment ๐ฉโ๐ , full of energy like an energizer bunny ๐, fully charged like our smartphone ๐ฑ battery ๐.
I do know that exercising ๐๐คผโโ๏ธ๐คธโโ๏ธโน๐คพโโ๏ธ๐๐๐งโโ๏ธ๐๐๐คฝโโ๏ธ๐ฃโโ๏ธ๐ดโโ๏ธ๐๐ถโโ๏ธ releases endorphins. Some form of a happy ๐ high ๐๐๐๐๐๐ โ I was so pumped up ๐คธโโ๏ธ๐คธโโ๏ธ that I started cleaning the house, sweeping, mopping and I did the laundry ๐๐๐ too. All in all, it felt goooood ๐๐ค ๐๐. And compared to what I was feeling ๐๐๐ค๐ ๐ก๐ฐ during the week, this is a good day โ๐๐.
So, push yourself to work out some sweat ๐ (people say for two to three times a week), because I can assure you, you will feel good ๐๐ค๐ after. You will feel healthier, your posture ๐ถ will be straighter ๐, you will walk ๐ถโโ๏ธmore confidently , your muscles ๐๏ธโโ๏ธwill feel toner ๐ช and you will feel ๐ happier ๐.
BUT remember ๐ง ๐ to always exercise within your limits. Do not ๐ซโ overdo it because you will not feel good after ๐คข๐ค๐ค. Your muscles ๐ช and joints will tell ๐ฌ you so or might even scream ๐ฑ their muscles out ๐ญ to you.
Go on, go for a run๐โโ๏ธ, or cycle ๐ดโโ๏ธ or go climbing ๐งโโ๏ธ or some yoga ๐งโโ๏ธ๐งโโ๏ธ or go play some ๐๏ธโโ๏ธ, or go swimming ๐โโ๏ธ, or go play some tennis๐พ or baseball ๐ or pingpong ๐ or maybe badminton ๐ธ, how about kayaking ๐ฃ, or rock climbing ๐งโโ๏ธ, or go play some bowling ๐ณ, or just go dancing ๐๐บ. Even if it is for 20 minutes, you will feel good ๐ชโ๐ after. But start with baby ๐ถ๐ผ steps ๐ฃ. You can even ๐๐บ at ๐ก, just turn on Youtube ๐ปand ๐๐บ away! And after a good workout, you can reward ๐ธ๐ต๐ด๐ท๐ถ yourself a little ๐ญ๐ง๐ฐ๐ฅ, just a little okayโ
๐ค Take care ๐๐. Stay ๐ happy ๐, stay healthy ๐๐friends ๐โคโ
๐๐๐
Colour ๐๐จ your life with beautiful ๐ท๐๐ธ๐ผ things that you love ๐๐.
