Does anyone want to have some extra accountability for their level of exercise? I think it would help me get myself back on track and I know it's damned hard for a lot of people to exercise as much as they would like to.
(If something like this has already been done, I apologize. I did a search and didn't find anything.)
The thing is that we all know that exercise is good for us and many of us are aware that some studies have shown exercise to be as effective as medication in combating symptoms of mental illness. That doesn't change how hard it is to get started or stay on track.
Studies have also shown that when people make public commitments, they are much more likely to do the thing they intend to do. If I tell you I will exercise today, I probably will.
So, I am going to do this today and if anyone else participates, I plan to check in on other days when I plan to exercise.
So, here's my commitment for today -Today, I will do my hip exercises and my shoulder exercises - all of them, dammit.
