Internal Excuses
|
Solutions
|
I'm too tired
|
Doesn’t have to be a full on session. Try something small and gentle to start and build up.
|
It might hurt the baby
|
Very little will hurt the baby but check with midwife if seriously worried
|
I have to do X first
|
Does it really have to be done that second or can it wait till after exercise? Or just exercise when finished other task
|
I want to spend time with Joel and the dogs
|
Spend time with them by going for walk in the park/beach.
|
It will hurt me
|
Be gentle and mindful of what is too much and don't push too hard
|
I will look silly
|
You will look even sillier waddling down the street with a hippo bum
|
I won’t be able to do it so why bother trying
|
Try it so you know what you can do and use that as a level to improve from.
|
I can’t be bothered
|
If you can’t be bothered now you certainly won’t be bothered in a few months time with a screaming baby and a hippo bum. Do something small and build up
|
I’m too big to do anything worth doing
|
Something is always better than nothing. Focus on what is worth doing for the labour
|
External Excuses Within My Control
|
Solutions
|
It’s too hot
|
Swimming. Gentle floor exercises indoors
|
It’s too cold
|
Exercise will help you warm up. Put on jacket and move quickly
|
I have to work late
|
Take breaks throughout work day and go for walk around the block. Look to schedule in extra exercise time on a normal day off
|
There are no classes on at the time I can work out
|
Then do something else! Go for a walk, swim, use step at home or home DVDs
|

Don't use it as an excuse to emotionally eat.

Please feel free to leave comments about my excuses and their solutions. Sometimes the solutions dont sound like solutions, but they are my way of talking myself round, but still appreciate any feedback, positive or negative!
