Changing things up

Fitness and I can be best friends with the exception of the following day after we hang out.  Its as if I have done something awful to my friend and I am given this horrible consequence of pain and soreness for 3-4 days to remember what I have done.  I am always left with the feelings of... what did I do to deserve the pain I feel now? 

Boot camp came about through my spin class.  As my partner and I would go to spin at 5:30 M/W/F we would see a group of people running, jumping, and moving all over the gym in group formation.  I don't remember seeing them doing anything that seemed too hard but what could I really tell from just a 5 second glance as I walked to my spin class?  Well once my spin partner decided to quit spin I was left with a lack of motivation to get up on my own.  My husband (who trains as well) strongly suggested that I get a partner to keep myself accountable.  He firmly believes its necessary to accomplish my fitness goals since I tend to lackadaisically work out.  Generally if I am not with a trainer or in a class I tend to lack purpose which leaves me feeling unproductive in the gym. 

After this discussion we decided I could try lifetime's boot camp since it starts at 5am which gives me enough time to make it to work at 7am and promises results.  With the group setting I would have my accountability and since its a boot camp I would have the diversity that I like to keep my work outs fresh.

  1. Girl, nothing gave me the motivation to STICK WITH IT like becoming a coach. I felt with that "title", I needed to not only STEP IT UP, I needed to KEEP IT UP...it DEFINITELY helped me to hold myself accountable. If ever you'd like to do that too, you KNOW I'd love to have you on my team as a partner in crime (or booty kicking...whatever is needed that day)!

    Keep me posted on how it goes!! I'm proud of you for doing this...I know taking these kinds of steps can be SO difficult!! :)
