Exercise Your Mind And Body With Audio Books
It is a well known fact that exercise can help you loose weight. From running to hours in the gym whatever form of exercise you choose it can certainly enhance your lifestyle and state of mind.
Often people struggle with the initial push of taking that first step to either exercise alone, with a friend, partner, join an exercise class or a local gym. For many this is quite daunting and often put it off ‘and says that will do it tomorrow’.
For me it the shear boredom factor. I much prefer to join a gym as I find it much more motivational keeping up with everyone else. That is all well and good if you can get to a class and I would say that this can be the problem which prevents many people. The gym can be the ideal option as the flexibility is there but many find it intimidating.
Although we go to the gym to get fit there is very often the feeling that everyone is looking at you because maybe you don’t look the part or are not quite as fit as they are. Quite stupid I know but sometimes it can put you off from doing something which will make you feel a whole lot better in the long run.
That is why I chose to take up walking and take a class as and when I can. My problem was going to be doing this on my own so had to think of how to do it without getting bored and loosing interest. Admittedly I won’t always be one my own but as this is something I can do whenever the mood takes me there will be times when I will.
I have been listening to my mp3 often lately and amazingly listening to audio books rather than music – much to my surprise! I have listened to many novels and more recently have been working my way through autobiographies. I am a very curious person and am interested in people’s lives so have enjoyed a varied selection of books. These have ranged from the grimmest of characters to very light hearted ‘A list’ celebrities.
I like the fact that the choice is so varied. While I am walking I can hear myself laughing out loud I am sure anyone walking past would think that I have gone mad and I often laugh at their reaction.
Since starting my ten minute walk I have progressed to anything up to an hour depending on what I have to do that day. The fact that I doing exercise and taking the time to exercise my mind is such a bonus as I have never really been much of a reader but not through lack of interest but simply lack of time. So here I have the best of both worlds. I am hoping to progress to running although this I might add will have to be a very gradual progression as I am the world worst runner. I always admire seeing anyone running so have decided that with my iPod in tow I might just build the enthusiasm and stamina to do it one day.
So there you have it. If anyone is thinking how to exercise and haven’t quite got the impetus to do it I would strongly recommend you do it with a good book. You never know you might surprise yourself.
