    Movement for my Mental Health

    Today I did 10 minutes on the bike and then some assisted deep squats, bridges and a few calf stretches. I was too distracted to keep track of reps but I decided that I want to document my bodyweight strength stuff better in the future. So that maybe I'll see some progress even while keeping it...

    Movement for my Mental Health

    Thank you! Yesterday I was at a LARP event where I was on my feet for around 6 hours so I was very exhausted today. I thought that I would get to take a few more sitting breaks in between and didn't expect to be moving so much. So I just rested on the couch today instead of going for a hike. My...

    Movement for my Mental Health

    I actually have two days to report :worried: Yesterday I did some very laid back strength training with 2x 20 wall push ups and 2x10 each side of some sort of knee-to-chest core thingy. I think they were supposed to be leg lifts with bent knees but they were too hard for me so I did them one...

    Movement for my Mental Health

    Thank you for your replies! Definetly helped me to feel less insecure. I took a bit of time to think about it, and I will try to keep posting. Even if it's just strangers on the internet, it's good for me to be a part of a community. Posting also is sort of an opportunity to work against my...

    Movement for my Mental Health

    I missed a couple of days again but I just did 15 minutes on my bike + some stretching. This week was very busy and difficult emotionally. I talked to my therapist about my exercise plans today and we agreed that aiming for 3x a week rather than every day is more realistic for me. Also, I am...

    Today we did nordic walking as a group at the clinic. I think it was around 30 minutes. We also finished with some stretching. I went reeeeaaally slow but my heartrate got up so I'll count it ;)

    Movement for my Mental Health

    Okay now here is the real post. I have been in partial hospitalisation treatment for my mental health for 6 weeks now and I will be for two more weeks. Going there every weekday is a lot more activity in general than I had for almost a year. I improved a ton mentally, but keeping up exercise...

    Movement for my Mental Health

    I am just making this post to get over the anxiety of not having done any formal exercise and not having posted for almost two months. There. I did it. Wasn't too bad.

    Movement for my Mental Health

    Today went completely different than I planned because I got a phone call that I can be admitted to a partial hospitalization program next Monday. I've been on the waitlist for a while so I was very glad it's finally happening. But it's also a month earlier than I expected, so I spent most of my...

    Thank you all so much for your kind messages! This community is really nice and understanding. I wasn't sure whether I should post a "bad day" but it made me feel much better and even more welcome. I hope I can give back some support in the future. And I did it, I got back to where I left off :)...

    Movement for my Mental Health

    So... the thing happened that always happens. I had a bad day and didn't do any movement. And then I wanted to fix it today but haven't. Now it's too late to do anything because I have to get up early tomorrow. I am really sad and disappointed, but I knew that it would happen sooner or later. I...

    Today I did: Universal Warm Up Baseline Day 5 Unbound Day 5 No walking today because my calves are just not having it today. I also couldn't do the last move of Unbound. Tried to modify with a band, not sure if it did what it was supposed to. I am a bit disappointed but I am happy that I...

    Movement for my Mental Health

    Movement for my Mental Health

    Today I did: Universal Warm Up Baseline Day 3 5 minutes walking outside Unbound Day 3 Today was just nice and easy. I even found a modification for move 3 in Unbound that kind of works (I hold on to a stool). Still is very uncomfortable. See you tomorrow!

    Movement for my Mental Health

    Today I did: Universal Warm Up Baseline Day 2 5 minutes walking outside Unbound Day 2 Really proud of today because I was very tired and sore. Planned on only doing Unbound, but then just tried out Baseline and it was easy enough, and that gave me the momentum to also do the walking. Now I...
