Right!! And afterwards you feel free &amp; relaxed and much more so Anyway let&#39;s see how long I can pursue this &amp; not give up. Take care.<\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Josane T.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">Probably about seven months.  The rhythm of exercising became a way to still feel like I had some control even when other parts of my life were spiraling out of my control (relationships, health). Exercise became a outlet for my anxiety and a place to refocus my energy into something that was productive. <\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Silje B.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">I focused on the smaller parts that I needed to do first, then took a little break to just relax and pull myself together to start the exercise.<\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Jesse F.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">Exercising is my escape from my mind. That one hour is a kindness to myself because in that hour, I don\u2019t need to think, just do. Plus that endorphin release at the end is the instant, free, natural high that perks me up when I need it most. I need to exercise to feel better mentally and emotionally.<\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Louis A.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">My morning routine starts in the evening. If I&#39;m successful in the evening, when I have a little more motivation, then the morning will start well too.<\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Herman J.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">One of the easiest ways to exercise for me is to dance my heart out. No only is it a great exercise, it makes me happy because it&#39;s fun and I love doing it, plus you get to jam out to your favourite songs! It&#39;s fun no matter how I&#39;m feeling!<\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Jessie F.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">I think of all the nice clothes I can wear and the complements I get when I look good. Also I am afraid of health issues, especially when it comes to blood sugar levels.<\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Oliver G.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">Sometimes I haven\u2019t. What has helped me is this app and making it an achievable part of my routine so that I sort of automatically come to it. Another thing that has been helpful is doing forms of exercise that I am excited about and that make me feel really good like dancing.<\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Christina F.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">To be honest, it\u2019s  hard to say because I\u2019m not sure if I\u2019ve reached my lowest yet on this journey. That being said, when I am feeling down i know that I generally feel better after I exercise so if anything, that helps.<\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Morgan Q.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">You shouldn&#39;t work to your burn out. Let&#39;s say 10 push ups are your maximum, you should only do 6&#x2F;7 each time. Because if you do 10 then you won&#39;t be able to do 8&#x2F;9 tomorrow. You will be more consistent with this 75% with nearly all aspects of life\n<\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Gilbert O.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">I&#39;m still working on that part. I missed 3 days but I will do better next week. Plus I still have the weekend to get 2 more in.I am a work in progress. <\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Brayden G.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">Do not stick to a particular type of exercise always keep on changing like when you&#39;re not feeling like exercise or are exhausted from work then try yoga some light stretching and walking take break at certain intervals and when you&#39;re feeling like exercising then try some cardio etc whatever you like just create a habit of exercising and soon your body will start getting habituated after which exercising will get easier for you<\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Harper L.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">I figured I would feel worse if I just quit, I&#39;d rather be low and still be working towards something positive than strip myself of a really good thing for my future wellbeing.<\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Dietlind U.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">I try just walking in my room and doing some stretches. And also dancing to my favourite song, whatever moves comes to my mind. <\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Floyd O.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">I did the exercises like a homework, I need to do to have points, with myself, with my body. And even when I didn\u2019t want to exercise, I forced myself to do it anyway, and after I finished, I felt good.<\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Evelyn O.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">I made time for it in the morning, just when I wake up. If I do it then, I will have done it before the events of the day have even started. No matter what I need to do in the morning, I always do a workout first. <\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Frederik Z. That is a great question.
