Readers’ Workouts — May 7
Welcome to Readers’ Workouts where readers prove we can move. Join us to share your exercise stories and find companions for the fitness journey.
I’ve been getting myself to exercise by watching made-for-TV movies from the Disney Channel on Netflix. Apparently, my inner athlete is 12. They’re short movies, so I can watch one over two days of exercise sessions — dancing, marching, and kicking followed by strength-training and stretching. So far, I’ve liked Princess Protection Program and Geek Charming. Read It and Weep was a DNF for being a little too predictable (and my bar isn’t very high for that in this genre).
Do you listen or watch anything to motivate your exercise?
How was exercise for you in the past week? What are your plans for the coming week? Link your post below (feel free to grab the logo) or tell your story in the comments. Don’t forget to visit the links to offer encouragement and support to other participants!
I enjoy Disney and YA movies/shows from time to time so if you are entertained, go for it! I like to watch movies and TV on my ipad if I’m stuck inside.
When do you leave for France? Let me know if you would like me to cover the fitness updates for you
This is my big mileage week. I’m 19 in, heading out for a run in a few minutes (bringing two a days back with warm weather).
Have a wonderful week!
Thanks, Mari — that would be terrific. I’ll send you an email!
Hi Joy,
So sorry I haven’t been checking in with Readers Workouts in a while.. I think I’m in a blogging and blog-hopping slump! Boooo!
I don’t watch or listen to anything when I exercise, but that’s mostly because I don’t workout at home or on machines at the gym. I’m either in fitness classes at the gym [the instructors do play loud, pumping music then, which I love!] or running or biking outdoors. IF I worked out on a bike trainer or treadmill at home, though.. I’d probably watch movies or series on Netflix.
