dolorosa_12Day 8: Are you a fitness guru or a couch potato? Talk about your exercise habits.
I am a natural couch potato who must exercise in order to stay mentally and physically healthy. I am always tired, and if I could I would sleep for 15 hours and spend the other nine hours of the day lounging around in bed. However, it is not possible to live like that, and so I try to exercise every day by jogging.
When I started running, I could only run for half an hour at a time, although I quickly built up my stamina. Now, on an average run I go for between 45 minutes and one hour. I think my limit is about an hour-and-a-half, although I don't run those kinds of distances very often.
I would like to complement my running with three other forms of exercise: yoga, swimming and kickboxing, as I tend to be a very fearful, anxious person and I think I would find them calming. None of these things are feasible at the moment, but I'm looking at developing an exercise routine that incorporates all of them when I move back to Cambridge for good in August. Ideally, I'd run every day, swim and kickbox once a week and do yoga twice.
I was a gymnast for ten years between the ages of seven and seventeen, and I miss it a lot. I've never found a form of exercise that I enjoyed as much, I've never felt as comfortable in, and in control of, my own body, and it gave me such stamina and coordination. While my aerobic fitness is okay now, I've lost all the upper body and stomach strength that I possessed, and the flexibility and coordination are long gone. Unfortunately, the body of a 27-year-old woman is not ideal for gymnastics.
