Greetings people of Hive!
This will be my first time posting in this community and it means a lot since this is a lifetime realization that may change my life for the better.
Over the years, I have indulged myself to hobbies that don't require much physical efforts like binge watching movies and TV series, playing online games on PC or Nintendo Switch, reading too much, etc.
While I can consider myself a bit lucky (genes) since my body is not the type to get fat or sick quickly, I can't help but reflect that I am wasting away some good opportunities to exercise and enjoy other aspects of life.
So yesterday, I decided to finally start doing jogging again. I used to do this a lot when I was in Japan 10 years ago but became lazy over the years.
I chose a spot nearby that's only around 5 minutes by bicycle from where I live. The place has a small lake, is peaceful, definitely safe and very relaxing.
I was out of breath just after a few minutes of jogging! I have to switch to walking until I can regain some air and jog again, rinse and repeat. Not bad for someone who has not done it a long time, I say. 😁
I also need to improve my evasion skills as a lot of these guys are on my way, hitting my face frequently. Lol.
Sweat coming out, catching my breath, feeling the warmth of the sun, cool breeze from the surrounding. I FEEL GREAT AND ALIVE!
Definitely doing this again everytime I have no work.
After nearly an hour, I was done and ready to go home with my old but reliable bicycle buddy. Say hi to him.
The road itself to where I live looks great for jogging, although it would be best to do it on wee hours when no/very little cars are passing by since I really like fresh air.
To everyone who has been somehow trapped in a physically dormant lifestyle, I highly recommend to go out walking or jogging on weekends or during your free time. Definitely one of the best and cheapest activities for a healthy body and mind eversince. We only win with this one.
See you next time folks! Stay healthy, happy and kind. I will be very grateful if you can give me a follow and we can support each other. 😁🫡
