If my body feels bad then I listen to it and take it easy. You could do a basic &gt;2 min stretch for the muscles in the a.m. A low impact walk outside in the late afternoon sun for 10 min or so gets two birds with one stone. A few min dance party while folding the laundry is fun and easy too. Steady as she goes. it doesn&#39;t matter how slow you go as long as you don&#39;t stop. You can do it.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">\u6797\u54c1\u81fb N.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">Recently I watched a TED talk on how one minute could make a big change ( I forgot the exact title to the speech but it\u2019s something similar), so the video explains how you shouldn\u2019t force yourself to do something you really don\u2019t feel like doing but instead keep the belief that anything will do. For me, I try to follow at least one exercise video everyday. On the days when I feel better, I follow a harder one, when I feel down or just awful, I go with a easy one. The idea is just that if you push yourself too much, it\u2019s gonna be hard to continue<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Greta E.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">I know that after I will feel much better. So I try to focus on that. Of course, there are days, that nothing works so I let myself to lay on sofa with ice cream two three times per month<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Stavros R.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">I convince myself  y telling myself, if i do some exercise now maybe i will feel better. (unless i am not sick) us to be honest doing exercise is something I really dont have to force my self to do it. But i only skip exercise on Friday which means weekend<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Noah U.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">Somedays I rethink twice if I should head to the gym or not and then after a while I get bored and then make up my mind to go to the gym and spend atleast an hour or two.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Xisto Q.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">I reflect on days I feel awful and I strive to reach for the stars as should you it doesn\u2019t even have to be a core workout you can have fun with go on YouTube and try to find dance workouts or you can do yoga just tell yourself to reach for the stars<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Nick R.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">To be honest, at the moment, I don&#39;t. I find it very difficult to find the energy to exercise when I don&#39;t feel well. If there is one thing that works it is actually to pay for a group class of a sportive activity I really enjoy.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Joshua W.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">You just have to go with the flow or have dedication and be motivated too do it if you want to look different and feel good<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Babydoll Q.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">I think about how excerising will only increase my mental and physical health which I dearly wish to improve. I also know that I&#39;ll feel better once I give it a go and at least try to do my best. I feel more accomplished when I complete a task.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Alessandra Q.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">Well what I do when I feel lazy or don\u2019t feel myself that day, I just set a goal for myself and motivate myself and look at the negative things about if I don\u2019t do the exercises this will happen to me if I do not do them. And then I have someone do exercise with me to help me.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Santiago T. I don\u2019t think about it too much.
