... is exercice a thing you do alone or with someone else or in group?
I used to go to the gym with a colleague of mine years ago. Not only was it fun (her specialty was to make me laugh my head off while we were doing sit ups) but whenever one wouldn't feel like going, the other one would make you.
Did aqua-jogging too, with a few friends and the group we belonged to was just amazing and great fun. Although we worked really hard, we were always looking forward to the next lesson. The energy and the motivation were absolutely incredible. I miss it.
Strangely enough, I find that power walking is better when I'm on my own. I really don't like to chit chat when I'm doing it. I've tried to join a group that does power walking and hated it. In fact, it made me give it up for a while. I like to walk because it gives me time to think about all kinds of issues. It's my time for reflexion.
Recently, my doc told me I'd have to run a daily half marathon to really get good control. I was devastated. For 2 whole days, I did absolutely -n-o-t-h-i-n-g-. Yesterday, I've done a lot and felt great. This morning, I'm about to go for a power walk. But I feel I'm still in between 'What's the use?' and 'Pfft! Get a grip and do what you can' ... I hate to power walk with someone else, just need someone to quick me out of the house, that's all
