Key Points
Wanting to change that, I challenged myself to exercise for 30 days straight..
I tried everything from running to Pilates to HIIT workouts, and now I love working out...
I decided to challenge myself to work out for a minimum of 30 minutes a day but decided I could do anything from running to yoga.. While I did wonder whether the challenge might feel restrictive, I'd found things like Dry January helpful in the past, so I thought the accountability might keep me on track..
At points throughout the 30 days, I lacked the motivation to get going and found my classes or runs hard especially if I was tired or sore from working out the day before so I did try to stagger the workouts..
While I sometimes feel sore after working out, I've noticed that overall, the chronic hip pain I've had for four years has felt better since I started my challenge..
