Weekend Quote â€" Exercise like Brushing Teeth??


Posted by Roni N. Patient Expert

This weekendss quote comes from a comment left by Annette on my Question of the Week post, Do you Workout on Vacation? I thought it was fabulous analogy!

I am starting to look at exercise like brushing my teeth. I need to do it on all sorts of levels…….energy, heart health, continued weight loss, stress reduction…it has become a part of my day, almost everyday. I wouldn’t go a day without brushing my teeth, so why shouldn’t I give my body the attention I give my teeth?

Great point! If we could all look at it that way, as a necessity instead of an option, we'd all be in better shape.
Agreed!  I had been in between gyms for about a month, started school, been lazy, etc.  In that month I had become listless and blah, falling asleep too early and not sleeping through the night, my strength gone.  I NEEDED the exercise.  Unfortunately I got back into it a little TOO vigorously with a strength class... immobile weekend aside, I'm now back into the swing of it and feeling much better with the physical activity.  If  you do it enough your body needs it and doesn't feel right without it.  :)
