I hate being outside, that is why i got myself a dog myself a dog. yep to force my but outside in to the unknowing. it gets me out to meet other dog walkers, and the the satisfaction to see my fur baby happy.
I struggle keeping motivated. i want to get fit with another human, but i am in total melt down if i plan to go to a club. so I work out alone with dvds. at the mo i stopped, well i rather be eating and sleeping my troubles away.
but i've been invited to tough mudder 2018 next year by a dog walking pal and pretty mudder by a work colleges 14 year old daughter , i get on better with kids lol. wont to wear a rabbit oneis LOL! so thinking at T25 work out 25 mins aday. dont sound to back right.
how do you cop with motivation? the get up and go
I've found a gym a couple of year ago which understands neurodiverse individuals. Their senior trainer has worked with DCD kids. The owner is pretty quirky himself. I can think of at least 5 diagnosed ND people there and no one blinks if I'm wearing ear plugs, but the guys tease me it's so I have an excuse to ignore their motivational chit chat.
It's worth making a well-being diary during your training and noting if being fit improves your quality of life. Only you can measure your version of "feeling better" and the diary lets you have a concurrent record. I hate exercise but I have categorical evidence I'm less impaired when I'm fit, so I make time (and space).
I believe that exercise should be fun as well as getting fit. I like aqua aerobics as that's exercise , but doesn't feel like it. I can't have a dog where I live, but I;ve got a cat and one day I bought a harness for my cat, Sassy, put it on her and she looked at me as if to say "I'm not a dog" , just a friend did say about getting a harness and lead for Sassy. I do seem to have an affinity with dogs and cats, as nearly always get dogs come to me to say hello or for some fuss!!! I'm not a great fan of walking, but having a dog does seem to make walking more fun!!!
That's interesting. I have a harness for my cat, but she doesn't like it and kicks it off. That one you've got looks more practical. I got mine in a pet shop for about £8. It looks a bit like a hammock - strapping between her front legs and over her back. It's big enough, but it seems to inhibit her front legs.
My cat (Asbo) is harness trained. It took him about 4 attempts to realise the new normal was harness to go outside. Cat walking is very different from dog walking. If you want training tips Catmantoo has great YouTube clips
