In each of us "live together" two people, Narciso who reflects himself in the source and Pantagruele dedicated to the pleasures of good food. The secret to me is not to kill Pantagruele, but to make him live peacefully with Narciso, be master of his own willpower and therefore of his own pleasures.
I believe that it is essential to feel good in your own skin, and that being satisfied with your appearance does not mean adapting to the often insidious stereotypes that are imposed on us, but learn to look at each other, know and love each other.
I have learned over the years and after having stumbled many times, even hurting me, that balance is fundamental, patience and perseverance. Many times I started and then almost immediately abandon them diets or training absolutely disproportionate and even harmful.
Any diet or sport that cannot be maintained for long periods of time is bound to fail.
I "discovered" Pilates, which I practice regularly and with joy, and I learned how important it is to activate the metabolism, the movement that you perform daily, the one that "burns slowly». It is an approach that refers to the Cartesian principles and that requires the use not only of the body, but also of the mind: a careless training can become as harmful as an uncontrolled and excessive nutrition, It is therefore good to diversify the movement and practice it consciously.
The movement should become an integral part of the day, the motion that is practiced every day is essential for well-being: you can start taking two more steps, or walking up the stairs instead of using the elevator. The point is to try to carry out more physical activity possible during the day to overcome the mental obstacle that the idea of regular physical exercise represents for some of us, in order to have as much benefit as possible without any discomfort.
Walking should become a fundamental aspect of our way of life: is there any better activity for legs and glutes? And then being in the open air is regenerating, a godsend for the whole cardiovascular system!
You can start simply by introducing a few walks during the day, gradually increasing the distances traveled, and discovering, little by little, inhaling and exhaling slowly, that walking also has a meditative value, that you are acquiring the awareness of truly existing, while you are weakening the stimuli from the outside world and creating a very special connection with yourself.
