I'm ridiculously excited about my exercise regime!

[dudsville]

I struggle to exercise. I don't like other people's music. There are always lots of moves I can't do re my back and knees. So mostly all i do is walking, which i do like, but i wouldn't mind a little cardio and weight loss - I'm a desk worker and have been home since March, so my diet is great as a result, but I hardly move.

I got a little fed up last night. I made a list of my ten favourite exercises. I made an exercise list of music on spotify. And the creme de la creme is I found there are websites that do the intervals you want, so I chose 40 sec reps with 10 second rests.

I did it this morning and I had so much fun!!!

That's good! Half the battle is finding an exercise you enjoy. I honestly think there's something out there for everyone, they just have to find it, and realise that you don't have to run 5k a day to get/keep fit.

Thanks LindaEllen, Yes, when I was young and thin I occasionally did gym workouts and enjoyed them but my real fitness came from dancing. I went out clubbing loads and it was never about hooking up, I only ever wanted to dance. My mother was the same way. I stopped doing this though once I settled down 15 years ago and since then I've dipped my toes in to lots of things but I always back to making my own regime - finding the timer app is the thing that makes it as I no longer have to count and can just enjoy the music!

Yay for exercise! It's such a joy when you find a routine that really works for you and that you enjoy, at least some of the time

Ooh @dudsville what website do you use for intervals? I really struggle to time myself doing hiit or body weight exercises without a video to follow!

Yes I'm interested in the website too!
Well done OP

I have a waterproof MP3 player and since getting it always feel ridiculously happy about going swimming and being able to just listen to my music while swimming back and forth in my own world. It's so very very relaxing, so I understand what you mean.
