As of this week we're trying to bring a bit more structure into our days. And of course that includes some home exercise. I get bored easily when it comes to exercise so in an attempt to make no workout the same I created this random workout generator:
Living in an upstairs flat the types of exercise are a bit limited (no burpees, jumps, moutain climbers etc) so we'll add in outdoor cardio with a run around the park.

Last night we joined our neighbours in a round of applause for the NHS staff working tirelessly to keep us safe and well.

I woke up this morning, stretched and got out of bed. As I walked to the kitchen to make tea the usual narrative started running through my head.
What day is it?
What's for breakfast?
What have I got on today?
For a moment I'd forgotten life is different now. And it was bliss.

Today I've been reading sample essays on how coaching can help to facilitate change. One opens with the line:
Change is the one constant we all live with, that and the certainty of our own death.
Cheery.
