"The Becky that was so resistant to running is now enjoying this “walking but faster” thing and… wants to continue this tomorrow" - beautiful.
I've been experimenting with this idea of slower, almost ritualistic exercise as an antidote to the dread that so many feel when thinking about exercise.
Thanks for sharing! I think you'll like my upcoming post on Sunday, so keep an eye out for it (on making exercise easy)
Okay, first, awesome post. Second, I'm happy to chat monetisation. I did it right at the start and have played with a few things. Third, Osaka is fire. I have lots of recs. And fourth, I'd like to chat investing too. Me and Corina have a little modest (hopefully not forever, haha) investment strategy and it'd be cool to exchange experiences.
I love the way you're describing the benefits of being fit and strong, and at the same time, highlight everything that's wrong with running (I'm in that camp, too, loving strength training, xfit and other forms of cardio, but NOT running). "Running is just walking but just… faster? And I have to exert constant willpower to keep moving? And it’s also weather dependent?" This made me lol and nod vigorously.
And yes, interested in reading about the quarterly financial review with the wealth advisor!

Thanks Zan. And love that making exercise easy mentality! Everyone needs to start with lightest possible way to exercise :)
Absolutely love the voiceover for this piece! Such a treat to your readers 🙌🏼
Aw thanks Linart!
This:
“I keep trying to fall in love with running.”
I loved the voiceover with your own voice!
Ahh thanks Sandra! Falling in love with running is hard (why doesn't it love me back??)

1. Thank you!!!
2 & 4. Omg! Adding that to our future chat list of topics :)
3. Osaka is GREAT and I have to go back. When you're around in Japan, I'm down to see if I can fly over to meet you over the weekend or something :)
Deal

Thanks Lavinia! I had a hunch you'd get it too because crossfit x strength training have a lot in common.
Noted on the nod to the financial review! Will have that cooking...
This turned out great!! I love that the audio is in your voice. Nice work!
Slow is the way
