Tired of going to work, so don't want to exercise after get off work? Exercise can make you feel less tired

My exercise habit was developed since I was a child. From fifteen to eighteen years old, I would spend more than an hour and a half on the basketball court every day, regardless of whether I was with me or not, and then I went to a school far away. , I would go back to my original school to play at least three days a week. After I went to work in Taipei, I didn't have a habit of playing on a field or a habitual route, so I hardly exercised. Before I learned to swim at the age of 34 and went into the water every day, I was also " I don’t want to move at all after work” until I felt the changes in my body from exercise, and then I started to return to the mode of “I train every day like an athlete”, finding the connection between myself and sports in the water and on the bike.

"Exercise every day" is really not an easy thing to say, and it is the only thing in my life that I can "force myself" to do , especially like swimming. Because of the limitation of venue and time, you It is very difficult for a freelance worker who is always on call to go to a certain place at a certain time, especially before you are ready to go out, the client finds you by chance, or you It’s hard to rush to hand over the case before going out, but the work has already exhausted you, you just want to rest and don’t want to go out to swim, no matter how much you like swimming, you will repeatedly use the method of picking petals in this state to decide. : Go, don't go, go, don't go... Of course, most of the time I will force myself to leave work and go out and bike to the swimming pool quickly, even if it is a fifteen-minute swim. (About five hundred meters.)

Another sport that I once maintained for more than a year to go out and ride a bicycle for 20K every day, also required a lot of struggle. Usually go out at 8 or 9 in the morning, ride from the junction of Lingya in Qianzhen, Kaohsiung to Rongzong Zuoying, stop for breakfast in the middle, and deal with the emails that should be returned, the emails that should be checked, or any work that needs to be digested during the day. message. And most of this motivation comes from "breakfast". If you go out too late, the breakfast shop you want to eat is ready to rest, and it will be delayed until you return home to continue working in the afternoon, so no matter how late you sleep, you have to catch up at the latest. Go out at nine o'clock.

The only way to establish exercise habits without struggling is to set aside a period of "fixed exercise" in your life and a convenient and convenient location. But "when I get home", I don't want to go out again. It's really an unshakable idea. It doesn't matter. "Exercising with bare hands at home" is not too difficult now. Prepare a yoga mat, dumbbells, and elastic bands. At a fixed time, move a little while watching TV, and arrange some outdoor, drop-in, and convenient places to exercise during holidays, and you can slowly develop the habit of exercise!

Tired of going to work, so don't want to exercise after get off work?

Most of this statement is because I have not developed the habit of exercising and established the body's need for exercise, and I mistakenly think that "I have no strength, how can I exercise."

Simple and not strenuous exercise, what most often brings to the body is not "thinning" or "growing muscles", but soothing and relaxing. No one is forcing you to swim a certain distance, ride a bike too far, run or walk at a certain speed, or train hard to challenge a certain weight. It is necessary to "move" from the "simplest" ones that can be performed, to feel the changes in the body, and to feel the gain of "the muscles and bones are loosened" from the exercise.

The most important thing is that when you focus on sports, those bad things in work, life or bad emotions will all be caused by the breathing (swimming) you have to focus on, the car (cycling) you have to focus on, and the focus on being with you. Passing and receiving between teammates (any team sport)... You have to focus on your movement, which can slightly interrupt any thoughts in your life, giving you more opportunities to jump out of those tired, Negative thoughts of anger, grievance, you may not necessarily become positive, but you can find an outlet for your emotions.

A few days ago, because of a case, I couldn't sleep at four o'clock at all. After lying in bed for two hours, I got up from the bed again. All day long, my head was buzzing. I just wanted to get lazy and didn't want to continue to work. That night I fixed the time to exercise, and I struggled with "I don't want to exercise today", "I don't want to exercise today", "I don't want to exercise today", but still obediently went to the stadium to walk a few laps at half the usual speed and found that my spirits I came, but my body that didn't sleep was quite honest, and I went home without skipping the rope. When I got home, because I had nothing to do after watching dramas, I continued the exercise that I would do regularly when chasing dramas, and then slept well!

As for the saying "I get off work very late and I don't have time to exercise", what needs to be changed is "Don't sell your time to work every day", let yourself find a person at work who "should stop and go home to exercise" Instead of telling yourself "I didn't exercise because I was too busy with work!"

Some people may say "that's because you work from home and you can set your own working hours", but it's not! My working hours can be more than 16 hours a day. In the past, I continued to work (or play) until midnight after dinner. There were no weekends and holidays. Who would urge me to submit manuscripts, I would definitely achieve my mission, and then I would slowly The client who adjusted and cooperated said: "I'm going to swim in the afternoon~" "I'm going to exercise after dinner in the evening!" "I don't want to work on weekends~"

Consciously adjust the rhythm of life and find a space to give yourself a little time to exercise. You will find that it not only liberates your body, but also allows you to plan more for the allocation of life time. Work is just "a part of life", add "sports" to your life, and you will find that "it turns out that life can be lived like this!"

Photo: 20090104, Kaohsiung Chung Cheng basketball court. Canon EOS 450D. This is probably the sport I gave up later, because no one can get to the rim and shoot, and I don't want to play. But this is a photo I took every morning when I went out to eat breakfast on a bicycle when I first came back to Kaohsiung. At that time, it was not so crazy to ride 20K, just to go around!
