Your Routine

Life long exercise begins with making whatever form of exercise you choose, your own. Most lifelong exercisers tend to do the bulk of their workouts alone. Trying to match up schedules is a challenge. Trying to do this with kids, spouse and a job is nearly impossible. It does help to have a group that shows up at a regular place and time. This way you can show up but, not be too pressured if your day does not work out. If I am planning to meet a group, I can be more lax about showing up but, if I am meeting one person, I try to do everything possible to be there. My dog walking business allows me to have mid-mornings and afternoons free but, it seems everyone else is working so, I try to show up for evening workouts or weekend mornings to have a social life. This is a plus when most of the workouts are done on your own. I am more focused when working out alone but, really enjoy being part of a group. People come and go over the years with any exercise group so, it is nice to have some continuity of a group that is affiliated through a club or some sort. Enjoy your own routine but, make time for others : )
