I’m trying the exercise every day at 2pm I body hang, goal is to work up to hanging for 10full seconds. A lady named Tara I meet from how to adhd forum is who I’m going to message to after I do the exercise and she will do the same with the exercise routine she chosen.

I’ve said for a long time I want to do yoga and mindfulness, I know it would be good for me.

What are your ideas? What do you think about having an accountability buddy?

What is body hanging?

So I have been out of shape for 15 years and I’m 50 lbs over weight. I want to succeed so I’m choosing to do something I believe I can accomplish with a accountability buddy.

You know like a pull up bar. Instead of doing a pull-up, I hang from the bar no touching the ground. Does that make sense.

I feel like a total puss or dumb to make that my daily exercise goal. But I’m getting to understand myself better and if I commit to something that requires to much of my time and effort I will not succeed. So making a tiny goal I might get to achieve in two weeks , and then I make a new goal.

I completely understand your reasoning for making smaller goals. I do the exact same thing because if I make goals that I know I won’t accomplish, I end up feeling like I’ve failed. I’ve gained almost 30lbs over the past 2 years and I don’t fit into any of my clothes. That’s what made me want to start working out. Even though I haven’t used the equipment I just bought, I’ve lost 8lbs for some reason. I joke and say I’ve been burning calories from thinking about working out but I’m sure that’s not true. Lol. I’ll send you my number in a private message and let’s figure out how or if we can help each other.

So true. I used to be in way better shape and getting back into it now I have realized that small goals are better. Exercise 15 minutes for a month each day successfully then go to 20.

I just bought a Pilates reformer and had a TRX system installed in my garage so I can workout but I haven’t used either of them yet. Lol. I need an adult babysitter.
