My Morning Gym Routine, Playtime Redefined

Imagine a playground where every morning is a new adventure. That’s my gym routine. After being diagnosed with MS, I found a unique way to reclaim control and joy: turning my workouts into playtime.
Each morning at the gym is like stepping onto my personal jungle gym. I mix it up with cable rows, woodchoppers, and whatever feels right that day. It’s a creative process, almost like being a kid again, but with the knowledge and power of an adult.
I’m not just working out; I’m crafting my routine with the precision of a personal trainer (NASM certified, by the way). But it’s not about training others; it’s about training me. This knowledge transforms my gym time into a safe, empowering playground.
Here, in the midst of weights and machines, I’m totally in control. And if I ever need a hand, there’s always someone around to help. It’s more than exercise; it’s fun, it’s freedom, it’s playtime redefined for an adult me.
So here’s to my gym routine: a daily dose of play, power, and possibility.
Do you play in your daily life? What says “playtime” to you?
I’ve never been consistent with workouts, whether going to gym or doing yoga. It’s pretty neat to think of it as play
That’s such a good comment especially being a new year! Whatever type of exercise you choose, it’s to improve your health and well being. I hope 2024 can give you a new perspective and go play! It’s all about you time. In control! Happy new year Laura!
