Feeling guilty for walking instead of jogging

[Water-Lily]

I try to exercise early mornings usually, especially on Wednesdays and Thursdays since I am busy in the afternoon with classes. I woke up at around 8:30 and felt super tired. I tried to make myself jog but I couldn't do it. I instead did some brisk/light walking for about an hour (going and coming back). I encountered a few joggers and felt so bad for not putting in my all.

Dont feel bad. The fact that you are getting up and out is excellent. Dont push yourself if you feel tired. Take it a day at a time

You are being kind to yourself by not forcing yourself to do things you don't feel able to do right now.

I've experienced the same feeling so many times!
I'm just too lazy to jog/run!

You've my respect for still managing a walk. i've not managed to even do that today. Recognising we need to be gentle on ourselves and following through on it, such as a walk over run, can be a huge thing. You should be proud of yourself, keep reminding yourself of the good achieived till that voice/message is louder than the one berating you for not jogging.
Then tomorrow you can get a jog in reminding yourself that if you don't jog you'll feel crap for not. That initial push to do will save the negativity later.

Cardio is cringe, tbh. I only do barbell dl+bench and chins, I am trying to use kettlebells for both shoulder press and HIIT cardio though. Cardio is important, but still very cringe and not epic.

We should only do the exercises that speak to us.

Lifting my coffee mug multiple times a day counts yeah?

If your goal is to lose weight, than walking briskly is actually better than jogging.

Does this count as exercise?
