Podcasts and blogs with expert advice on personal growth, anti-aging, intimacy and relationships.
I’ve just finished a seven part series on Easy Exercise Motivation (that’s a record for IOWL!), and I’d love to hear how its affected your exercise routine.
Are you moving more?
Are you lazy and proud of it?
Have you “chunked down” what qualifies as a workout?
I’d love to hear! Post a comment to share.

Renee, I sooo think you’re onto something in regards to guilt-driven exercising being less effective than positive-intent-driven exercise. (I wrote a little bit about this on a recent post on the IOWL Yahoo group.) Two months ago I suffered a knee-injury that was the result of some intense guilt-driven exercise…I basically just worked myself way too hard in a way-too-long workout session, and as a result, I had to take 2 weeks off of intense workouts, and 8 weeks off of running.
It was a miserable two weeks…but it suddenly made me remember all the things I loved about exercise in the beginning, when I did it to do something good for myself instead of guilt-driven exercise. So when I could go back to the gym, I was EXCITED to workout. I couldn’t push myself too hard because I’d risk another injury, so I just ENJOYED myself…and I’ve made enjoying my workouts a new habit! Now I’m back into running, and it feels great. Plus, because I HAVE to ice my knee after every run, I know that after every intense run I can look forward to sitting on the couch icing my knee for an hour while I watch TV! lol It’s silly, but it’s become a great way for me to reflect on how great I feel after a good workout. Thanks for helping me to appreciate exercise!!!

I just listened to my first podcast tonight as I went for my first walk on my journey to a better me. I loved it! I can’t wait until tomorrow’s walk so I can listen again! Thank you for the motivation.
