Saturday songlist
#NordicWalkingGuy reaches back for another way to walk, slowing it down a little to 103 BPM.
Start your day with a win
This post from a Nordic walking pole distributor I like made me think of the connection with exercise and one's mood the rest of the day.
I find I have a more positive outlook the rest of the day if I have a win of some kind at the start. A win can even be something small. For me, it's achieving some exercise goal.
With Nordic walking it might be completing my target distance, achieving my target pace, or even just getting my heart rate into a higher zone. A major win is starting off with a high glucose level and seeing it drop after a walk.It becomes a challenge to lower that level with a shorter work, sort of an efficiency project.
What can be your first win of the day?
