My gym routine gets to be redundant, I go in, do the same workout, see the same people...I want change.

what a or det you from to the

I like the idea of exercising outside, but I am most motivated listening to music. If I have my headphones on, I can’t be fully alert in the presence of danger.

I prefer to exercise outside, but I feel like people are judging me when I am out in the public.

As a meditation practice, I like to be in nature. Connecting with nature is a core entity vital in our life.

attracts tracts m going e gym?

I am a runner so to stay motivated and keep me running, I like to run outdoors, just to change it up a bit with different routes and new views.

I don’t like rigorous exercise because it cause my asthma to flare up.
