Exercising Poems - Poems about Exercising

exercising through my life

Swimming was my favorite exercise as a child
Loved the freezing cold water even if air was mild
In the late seventies, racquetball became the rage
I drove my new baby to daycare and loved this age

Running was never my favorite thing to do
Maybe I had never found the right jogging shoe
In my mid fifties I exercised at

Exercising Our Hearts Love-

so beating heart fill
with a such abundant love
just so sweetly does
~
we must exercise
our hearts keeping love flowing
extinguishing hate
~
allow hearts love  flow
beating love exercise love
so beatings heart fill

Exercising An Imaginary Muscle

I grew wings before
I stood.

I learned everything I could
and remembered nothing.

instead of leaning in.
I hung out

I made a wrong turn 
for the right reason.

I looked into the future
before I visited warby parker.

voiced an opinion, 
but did not speak my mind.

I made it out of adolescence 
alive.

I made believe 
I had it made.

I had hard feelings

Exercising Honesty

Trust and honesty is so rare
in our world nowadays all around
but we must start at home
with ourselves to get off the ground

We need to be absolutely true
check ourselves to see it real
nothing must be held back at all
make sure we are the real deal

This is a very good exercise
for if honesty can’t be found
in ourselves

Exercising My Demons

With my Angels exorcised-
I Exercise my Devils
Daren't you guess what this implies?
In Evil doth I revel!

Shout and swear; curse and cuss
In the Bowels of Tartarus!
Sweet Lucifer! I do concur-
Heaven- it's just not for us!

Exercising Your Brain

People do aerobics
So their bodies stay in shape.
Slacking off means all that flab
Reverses its escape.

Just like muscles turn to mush
If workout time’s ignored,
Lethargy may leach the brain
Of knowledge it has stored.

Therefore one must exercise
The mappings of the mind,
Making sure the avenues
Are smooth and well-defined.

Crosswords and Sudoku,
Scrabble, dominoes or chess
Help to keep those brain cells sharp
And

The Dog Exercising Machine

Yes, I know, I should be alongside.
Age and bad knees 
dictate that I am inside the cab
with a long, green leash
so Katie can run close by
every morning, 
for the last seven years
in rain, snow and sunshine. 


She runs in earnest ( can a dog do that ? ) 
Her tongue is back against her cheek.

Exercising the Soul

Press the sky for answers
Wish for penny rain
Snapping, popping, tin-roof dropping
Copper ankles wade
Wear the moon as a necklace
Tears reflecting the stars
Falling, pooling, drown them unruly
Caught cold in shards, diamond hard
Riddle the sun with emotion
Prison of season's delight
Missing, crying, pale but undying
Winter seclusion is nigh
Trust the wind in the moors
Fog and mystery mist
See me, don't see

Exercising My Thoughts

bending all the rules 
staying straight to my plan 
begging as a fool 
Giving as a  man 

lost,found 
toss, around 
boss, Rebounded
thoughts, sounds
foughts, bounds
boughts, brought
ups, downs 
source, pounded
force, drowned

choice, maid 
voice,  brave
moist,. saved

Alot of absence's
creep whole threw my veins
