The post-it reads “Daily 50s- pushups, squats, lunches, wall sit, and plank.”
This is not a prank. I don’t do pranks.
This is a post-it that I wrote myself about fitness. And then it promptly turned December and everyone knows that calories don’t count in December.
I kid, I kid.
As a society, we should start thinking about moving our bodies more. Especially after the calorie-laden holidays and that second piece of pecan pie. Or the third helping of mashed potatoes.
I am not suggesting a gym. Not with all the other newbies out looking for a quick fix. Because this is not a quick fix.
This is just your reminder to move your body deliberately in the new year.
New Year’s resolutions? I am not a fan because I think they are too quickly forgotten in favor of the couch and doom-scrolling. I’m not saying we don’t have reason to sit on the couch and doom-scroll. What about taking 15 minutes every hour and moving your body in a deliberate and thoughtful way.
Me? My goal is to unearth the boxing dummy from the garage. I also have a stack of 15-minute exercises I am going to do while doing the Big Write. Including boxing but not exclusive of it.
Get out that aggression, you know?
