Burnt Out? Move More.
A 20-Minute Workout for exhausted women…
I have become a proselytizer.
Well, to be fair, I’ve always been moved to spread the good word about my latest obsessions: the most emollient eye cream, the best smelling soap, the softest sweatshirt, the probiotic soda that will change your life!
But now, I’m talking about exercise.
I know, I know. Not long ago, I would have rolled my eyes at me too. But, as I wrote last year, during the pandemic, when it became difficult to get up each morning and face the day, workouts saved me.
Earlier this month, I shared tips from Katia Herman of Joy Space, a specialist in helping busy mothers prioritize their own burnout, on calming the mind in a short amount of time. Most recently, she and I sat down to chat about the physical too (which, by the way, is also ultimately connected to the mental).
If you don’t naturally love working out (me) and are over-scheduled (me) and will find any excuse not to do the thing if you could be watching Never Have I Ever instead (also me), how do you motivate yourself to exercise and, ultimately, luxuriate in that endorphin boost?
WHY DON’T WE EXERCISE? (IN THEORY)
