Exercise And Trying To Do It Alone

Posted in Advice by Amanda at 11:36 on 4th August 2008

Recently me and my partner have taken up spinning classes, we both really enjoy them and it gives me a buzz.

I was a gymnast for a long time, that was before I started working longer hours and having other commitments. It is important to me to keep my body toned, I’ve always been petite but I find it hard to get real firmness.

Motivation comes in bouts with me; I find it really hard to get myself in the right frame of mind for sport. Without a gym partner I think I would just not bother to go.

Its silly really because once I get there I really enjoy it.

After some thought I have realised, this is yet another area of my life in which I feel the need to depend on someone else. It is easy to rely on others for many things and that why I do it, because I can.

This is something I have to address along with the other fifty things on my list.

Learning to be my own person and enjoy my independence will be a big step in the right direction. I hate feeling lost without company, especially as I used to love being by myself because it gave me focus and contentment.
