Today was one of "those days" when it would be so easy to say, "I workout every day. I have a lot to do. I don't have time, so I'll skip it." That is such a dangerous attitude. The fact is, it is never really convenient to workout. We can all find things that we could be doing during the time we are in the gym.I had a doctor's appointment and a client, JE to train midday. I wasn't sure how I would do it, but I was determined that once I got kids off to school...I would workout...get ready...and be everywhere I needed to be...on time even (BIG feat for ME). I went to the gym and decided to do the same WOD (workout of the day) as the group classes. I knew it was gonna be hard when I saw how long it took even the fastest and strongest of us all. I was worried that I may not have time to do anything else, but no matter what I was gonna do that WOD.
It was full of complicated movements done with ONLY one arm at a time. I warmed up, hit the stopwatch and started working. It was hard from the start, but it did feel different...better with my new weightlifting shoes on. I noticed how much more solid I felt on my "landings". It was a struggle...I was soaking wet with sweat...and I grunted and yelled throughout the entire workout...buuuut...I finished with a pretty fast time...a few seconds faster than R even!
It was really hard, but it was also very satisfying. I felt strong and capable...like no matter what situation I encounter...I can take care of myself. It was painful and long...it stretched me...but I am glad that made the time to workout.
