Regular exercise is one of the cornerstones of good health and has a myriad of health benefits, both mental and physical. Despite this, it’s almost a dirty word for many people. There are many different reasons for this and we looked at those we hear most often from Clients a couple of weeks ago, you can find it here.  

 

Top of the list comes those dreaded games lessons at school, which put many people off exercise for life. And, as someone who was always last to be picked for any teams – not to mention a fully paid up member of the “two left feet” club (!) – Elaine knows all about this first hand… 

 

What’s so sad, is there are many different forms of exercise – particularly these days – which are light years away from those inflicted at school. And, even better, many of them don’t really feel like exercise at all. 

Even though these words of wisdom may date back over a hundred years, they’re as true today as when first spoken. They’re usually attributed to the great Poet, Playwright and Raconteur, Oscar Wilde; although it’s been suggested he may have “borrowed” them from elsewhere. We’ll probably never know the truth and leave it to those of a more literary persuasion to debate… 

 

Anyway, before we digress too much further (!), let’s return to the present day and one of those things that seems so hard to do. To be yourself.
