Good morning Hive!
I have been out jogging early this morning in the park. I am new to jogging, just a week under my belt so far so have a system of power walking followed by jogging, followed by more walking, more jogging and in this way I am learning to increase my strength and endurance for jogging without dropping from exhaustion in the process.
I liked this photo below so much I made it into my banner photo here on my profile. Yes I am new to hive, this is just my second post!
I have been working out at home to the best of my ability since the gyms clothed and although I have managed to maintain muscle in my lower body I have noticed I have put on a little bit of unwanted weight so decided recently I would become a jogger to get my body into a more perfect head to toe state of good health.
I had never been interested in jogging but suddenly it seems like just what I need. It is hard work, I wont deny it but I am already used to pushing myself physically every day working out at home so am embracing this new challenge and loving the fresh air and parks that London has to offer.
Its amazing how much green-ness there is in the city of London. I can get lost in trees and jog endlessly here as if I lived in the countryside. It is such a blessing that I am grateful for every day!
I have also been cycling a lot in the city during these past quiet months of lockdown feeling safe on two wheels in the streets here like never before but now the roads are slowly returning to more cars and more sense of danger being on a bicycle. I nearly got mowed down last week by a bus cutting right into the bicycle lane where I was riding. No fun!
I hope you enjoyed my photos of this wonderful green park in London. I wish you all a happy day,
Welcome to Hive!! It's easy to see you're a great blogger. Great jogging! Keep at it. Little by little you'll be stronger than ever. I recently started jogging again. The progress is really motivating. You can earn upvotes and other tokens by using the Actifit app when you excersise. Have you heard of it?
Hello! Thank you so much for this lovely comment! Its sort of funny to me as I never thought of myself as a jogger but I think the discipline of my gym workouts has taught me a lot and I am already enjoying and looking forward to my jogging... but damn it was painful the first day or two lol
Nice to hear you are a jogger too. Yes progress is soooo motivating I totally agree! I have not heard of actifit so will check it out for sure, nice tip thanks @yogajill. Where do I go to find the app? I am on Android.
Wow London parks look amazing! It is great to see such open green spaces in cities like this! Good luck with the jogging. So many of us need to take similar steps to get more healthy.... just more will power is required! haha
Thanks so much for your comment and yes it does take a good amount of will power lol. Some days I have to force myself to get out there but I love it once I do. Thanks for the reblog I REALLY appreciate it!
I am into walking, cycling and skipping but not quite a jogger. I tried for a short time but never got into it successfully. keep it up!
It sounds like you do plenty to keep fit then, we are all different so do what feels right for you.
Well said!
Lovely photos of a nice day!! Lucky you! So green!
Thank you so much - I will check out your blog, where are you in the world?
