Does this count as an extreme plank?! š„“
I had a little too much puppy love this morning so my workout morphed into a pup training session. She gets a little excited when I jump around and get on the floor. Lucky for me todayās workout was cardio and abs. š
I get it, finding motivation is hard especially when the excuses start presenting themselves. Sometimes a 40 minute workout is 60 minutes long. Sometimes a great cardio workout turns into a dog training session. Whatever you do DONāT stop.
I spent the last 6 months stopped and in my own way. I filled my own head with negative thoughts and discouraging self talk. Once you jump on that train itās difficult to find that spark again.
I spent months doing one workout here then excuses. Then two workouts. Then excuses.
Whatās different today? I finally looked myself in the mirror and coached myself the same way I coach others. There is no way I would speak to anyone the same way I speak to myself and it has to stop. The mirror helps.
I reminded myself about how good I felt when I exercised regularly. How much energy I had and how much I actually missed feeling strong.
Well, now Iām back. Itās officially official.
My challenge you to join me! Do something physical each day. 10 squats here, 1 mile jog there. One foot in front of the other. It doesnāt have to be difficult. You donāt have to sweat. Eventually you will fall into a rhythm and form habits. Build on your success each day! Find a friend, challenge them to join you. Make it fun š¤©
Itās time for me to move past my excuses. Itās time to continue moving forward.
