Fitness Tips for Caregiver Stress.

insightful tips for you to ponder.


Find fitness Tips designed for the time-crunched caregiver. But first, some important considerations to ponder. Caregiving may come with deeper issues. These always drive our behavior, our belief systems and at the core, who we are. Caregivers face challenges that sometimes they are even unaware of.

Some interesting points to ponder for the caregiver and for the rest of us who live among these often invisible angels:

  • Caregiving is often an addiction. Addicted to the burning need for approval.
  • Caregivers are unbalanced on the giving side of life.
  • Caregiving often fuels a need to be needed.
  • Lack ofboundary setting ability's.
  • If I'm caregiving, then I'm in control. We are a generation of control freaks, sugar coated by caregiving.
  • Caregivers seldom hear "Thank You."
  • Caregivers or not, we often forget our own needs.
  • Tread softly - Caregivers tend to be fragile for many different reasons.
  • Caregivers face health issues that are only snowballed by more caregiving.
  • Caregivers are often lonely and isolated

Such an impartial and incomplete list and some of it may not apply to you as you read them. It is food for thought for those who are thrown into the role gradually or suddenly.

Poor health and fitness can never be blamed on one thing...so many things go into our health practices, or fitness level. Our goal? Give you the fitness tips you need to survive in an overwhelming caregiving world.

I've got good news!
