Bipolar Disorder and Exercise Ideas

Here are some tips that I’m using myself- gosh, does the need to lose weight and exercise ever end! 🙂

 1. If you work at home, wear your walking shoes and go outside every few hours and walk around the block once.

2. Cable TV has an on demand section that actually has free exercise sessions. I did AM Yoga this morning.

3. Do weights in front of a DVD.

4. Don’t worry about what you’re wearing. It’s fine to walk in your street clothes. Sometimes I just get overwhelmed having to put on my exercise stuff- but in reality, it’s just a walk! Sweaty clothes can be washed just as easily as exercise clothes!

There is a lot we can do to exercise just 20 minutes a day instead of being guilty all day!

    I used to be a dancer dancing up to 8 hours a day. I was healthy, i didn’t have an eating disorder. I don’t dance anymore for variouse reasonson…one because i have had too many injuries…and i am only 20. But exercise only makes me feel good temporarily. I still go to the gym and i look very good physically but my brain doesn’t want to be happy. I love the outdoors, but then i start thinking and i feel sad still. nature is supposed to be my healing agent. I feel cursed, like some force doesn’t want me to have any good luck. I have had bad luck way too often.
