I haven't worked out consistently for the last 5 months. I used to be active on fitness blender - i'd participate in discussions, work out daily, and wait for new programs to come out. But after taking a long break - for school and mental health - I'm ready to be back.
For years I've exercised, but only ever on and off. I'd get into a program for month and then not exercise for weeks after. I struggled with making it a habit, and after the longest break I've ever taken, I see why.
For so long I pushed myself too hard in my workouts. So much so that I was scared of working out because I was scared of failure. This led me to not working out at all.
After losing my progress, but adopting a healthier mindset about exercise, I'm excited to be back. Now, instead of skipping workout days because of their difficulty, I'm going to do a little bit every day. Also, exercising for the dopamine kick is not to be underrated! It can really effect your day.
Thanks for listening, hope everyone is doing great.
Good to be back & taking breaks
