Before you order a bunch of exercise equipment…
————————-
Try to create exercises using only your body and what is around you first. This will help you learn more about your body (especially muscles and joints) and you will have a “leg up” on what really works for you!
————————
Tip: 1- you will be using “gravity” as a major “helper!” 2- with new exercises, start slowly, use just your body weight at first and stop, immediately, if you have pain! (P.s. if you are going too fast, you might hurt something before you can stop once you feel the pain!) 3- expect to not necessarily “enjoy” the feeling of exercise the first few sessions (give it time!) 4- You’ll want to quit (often!) but instead, check in with yourself every day and ask yourself, “SELF- what do I get from the exercise if I quit?” The answer : nothing but if you keep working at it, you may not get everything you would like but it’s guaranteed that you will get something ! 5- keep in mind that your shoulder & hip JOINTS are type: “BALL & socket” which allows much more movement than any other joint in your body… but, as they say, if you don’t use it… you lose it… what’s more, you gain something , pain!! You don’t want that!
