Saludos Comunidad


Una semana de muchas bendiciones a nivel mundial.
Deseando que todos se encuentren bien al lado de sus familiares en salud y bien-estar.


¿Crees que existe una edad específica para hacer ejercicio o podemos entrenar en cualquier etapa de nuestra vida? ¿Haces ejercicio actualmente?

El movimiento del cuerpo debe ser con intención, no solo por hacer o por moda. Las redes aturden con sus opiniones, con sus consejos, inclusive hasta con los alimentos que se deben consumir para la realización de actividades deportivas.

Hay días fijados en el calendario donde se destina un día mundial del movimiento, del yoga y así diversas actividades para que las personas de una u otra forma se active en estas actividades, por razones de salud, entre actividades laborales, atención de hogar el tiempo es escaso para dedicárselo a una misma.

Algo así es parte de mi historia. Mientras fui adolescente jugaba voleibol, esto por supuesto que con disciplina había que entrenar, tanto para resistencia como estrategias de juego. Con el paso de los años esto fue quedando a un lado, el enfoque estaba en estudiar, trabajar, luego hogar, hijos y todo lo que esto engloba.

Después de los 40 años mi cuerpo , mi mente, pienso que de manera inconsciente me pedía hacer algún movimiento para despejarme ante tantas actividades, mi tiempo laboral estaba muy ajustado , así como mis otras actividades hogareñas, nunca me di ese permiso para tomarme aunque sea los fines de semana ir a caminar o algo relacionado, porque los días sábados también me tocaba laborar.

Pues, me llegó el tiempo después de los 46 años ya jubilada en uno de los trabajos; ya disponía mis mañanas para hacer algo extra para mi, comencé de nuevo a caminar por lo menos 3 veces a la semana, al principio me costó un poco la disciplina, me dolía una rodilla, continué caminando y logré que mi rodilla ya no doliera más.

Pasaron algunos años, volví a estancarme, hasta que de nuevo volví a dedicarme.

Uso una aplicación de contar pasos que es monetizado por retos y los juegos que nos permitimos estar. Vino el hacer yoga, actividad que busquè anteriormente y los horarios no me cuadraban con mis actividades laborales. Hasta que un día caminaba por un parque y encontré un grupo que realizaba yoga, a la semana siguiente me incorporé a él.

Estuve 1 año con este grupo, luego me anoté en una formación profesional y económicamente las dos actividades era un poco rudo sostenerla. Como aprendí algo de las rutinas de yoga, y las imágenes de rutinas en las redes, continuo hasta el momento, lo hago en casa por lo menos 4 veces a la semana, elijo que rutina seguir, así continúo con mis movimientos con intención. Las caminatas también.

Y si, actualmente realizo mis ejercicios, muevo mi cuerpo y pienso que mientras se pueda, haya ganas hay que hacerlo, no nos podemos dejar llevar por las no ganas de hacerlo. Pronto cierro mi noveno ciclo de vida, es decir, voy rumbo a mis 63 (nueve ciclos de vida, cada ciclo es de 7 años).

Greetings, Community!


Wishing everyone a week filled with blessings worldwide.
I hope you are all well, healthy, and happy with your families.


Do you think there is a specific age for exercising, or can we train at any stage of life? Do you exercise currently?

Body movement should be intentional—not just done for the sake of it or to follow a trend. Social media can be overwhelming with opinions, advice, and even recommendations on what to eat for sports activities.

There are specific days on the calendar—like World Movement Day or International Yoga Day—dedicated to encouraging people to get active for the sake of their health. However, between work and household responsibilities, time for oneself is often scarce.

My own story is somewhat similar. As a teenager, I played volleyball; naturally, that required disciplined training for both endurance and game strategy. As the years went by, I set that aside; my focus shifted to studying, working, and then managing a home, raising children, and everything that entails.

After turning 40, I think my body and mind were subconsciously asking for some form of movement to clear my head amidst all the activity. My work schedule was tight, as were my domestic duties, and I never gave myself permission to take even the weekends to go for a walk or do something similar—partly because I had to work on Saturdays, too.

Eventually, the time came—after I turned 46 and had retired from one of my jobs—when I finally had my mornings free to do something extra for myself. I started walking again at least three times a week. At first, maintaining the discipline was a bit of a struggle, and I had some knee pain, but I kept walking, and eventually, the pain went away. A few years passed, and I hit a slump again, until I finally recommitted myself to the routine.

I use a step-counting app that offers rewards through challenges and games. Then came yoga—an activity I had looked into previously, though the schedules hadn't aligned with my work commitments. Then, one day while walking through a park, I stumbled upon a group practicing yoga; the following week, I joined them.

I spent a year with that group, but then I signed up for a training course, and maintaining both activities became a bit of a financial strain. However, having learned some yoga routines—and using images of routines found on social media—I’ve kept it up on my own. I practice at home at least four times a week, choosing my own routines so I can continue moving with intention. I also keep up with my walks; for the time being.

And yes, I still exercise and keep my body moving. I believe that as long as it’s possible and the desire is there, you have to do it—you can't let a lack of motivation hold you back. I’m about to close out my ninth life cycle; in other words, I’m heading toward age 63 (based on nine cycles of seven years each).

I love how you found your way back to exercise and made yoga and walking part of your routine. Truly inspiring especially at 63.

You are so right in that life does make us change our priorities and oftentimes, we short change ourselves. It's hard to turn that around, even sometimes at the age you mentioned you are at now. However, keep it up, for to slide back again into doing for others and whatnot, will make it harder to get back in the groove for yourself.

Thank you for sharing and have a lovely day! !LADY

I agree with you; amidst the busyness of daily life, there is little time to devote to oneself. It’s great that you can keep up with your yoga routines at home—especially when you have the motivation, as it’s essential for your own well-being. Have a lovely evening.

Coincido contigo, entre las actividades del día a día, el tiempo para dedicarse a una misma es poco, es genial que puedas continuar con tus rutinas de yoga en casa, más aún cuando hay las ganas es necesario para el bienestar propio, que tengas una linda noche,
