Why not have some targets as I do.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I have always found it extremely helpful to set targets for myself, always slightly more than I have achieved so far, but enough to make it a challenge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If and when I get there, I then set a new target.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
So I am always competing with myself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I would highly recommend this approach as it gives meaning to the exercises and changes your approach to them in a positive way as it is a big boost to your self-esteem each time you do manage to reach a target.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I wouldn\u2019t have got this far without them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
So I still set myself targets because I am never satisfied.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
One of my targets is be able to run again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I used to run 5 miles in 35 minutes every morning before my shower before going to work but those days are long gone. I don\u2019t run anymore.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
So I decided I have to improve my walking first, before hopefully getting back my ability to run. I miss running, it was something I really enjoyed. So I bought a treadmill.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I try to get a proper walk in every day and gradually increase the distance each day. I started with only a short distance but I\u2019m already up to about a mile. It\u2019s quite surprising how quickly you can improve. The treadmill is for those days when it is raining cats and dogs or if I just don\u2019t fancy going out if the weather is uninviting. By the way, I bought a \u00a3600 quality treadmill on Gumtree for \u00a350 so you could probably afford one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Any passing cars and those out walking their dogs probably think I\u2019m crackers as I try to march as I was taught to do in my square bashing days in the RAF.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Why not try this yourself. Think of it as a challenge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
But whatever you do, watch this space, as they say, to see if I have enough determination to keep it up, to see if I get any worthwhile results and I\u2019ll let you know with an update if I wind up being able to run again.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
