my Body can : midlife exercise experiments and reflections

Exercise Overwhelm (ep 6)

It’s only a few days into the 30-day challenge, and I’m not overwhelmed by the workouts — I’m overwhelmed by the organization. Do I focus on one tool — like bands — or keep juggling dumbbells, bands, and balance work? I love experimenting, but too much at once slows progress and fogs my focus. This episode is a real-time reflection on that tension: wanting to do it all vs. needing to go slow. Because “overwhelm” in movement often mirrors overwhelm in life. And I’m realizing this month isn’t just about changing my plan — it’s about clearing the cobwebs of old expectations, impatience, and guilt.
