I´m so grateful that I do workouts. I´m a 43 years old Brazilian from Rio. I´ve always had issues about food (exactly the “emotional eating” thing).
I have never been fatso I dont have any before/after pictures to proudly show my progress.
My “progress” has been happening deeply inside of me, of who I am. Its dificult to make a long story short, but basically exercises have been saving my life every single day.
Exercises save my life every time I come home from work and I am deadly STRESSED, every time I miss my mother (who was my best friend and died when I was 33 yrs) and I miss my husband (who lives in New Zealand – and I live in Brazil) ALL THE TIME!!! The exercises help me to cope with missing him so much!
Exercises have this amazing power to make you want to stand naked in front of your bedroom mirror and want to KISS your own body because it makes you love yourself SO MUCH!
Do you know that feeling, when you finish a tough exercise series and you get in the shower and its like you´re in paradise?
Well, here, in Brazil, people dont know a thing about in home fitness videos, which I think is a shame.
I love fitness DVDs because I can practice every time I want (although I live very close to the beach and like to go for walkings and swimming).
And because you can have the best trainers in the world right there, just for you!
I started with Leslie Sansone´s Walk Away the Pounds and now I have a huge collection including yoga.
Anyway, I probably have much more to write about but its my 8 AM and I so going to do some exercises to start my day properly. (to be continued) xoxoxo
