Last Wednesday I had a revelation
after my work out on Tuesday: I am not making the most of the gym. Some of the
exercises are challenging, and I am not giving it my all for the time allotted:
30 seconds. Seriously? I can’t buck up for 30 seconds?
Needless to say Thursday was a
different day at the gym. I gritted my teeth, focused on breathing, and sustained
myself through the difficult exercises. As a result I had a better workout, and
I felt accomplished.
I also challenged myself and
bypassed the wimpy route. For example, I have been avoiding the 20lb medicine
ball for throws. Why? “It’s heavy…” Yup, I said that. The 10lb medicine ball is
too easy and has been for some time. Jessica and I came to that conclusion on
Thursday. Guess which ball I use now? That’s right. The 20lb ball. Silly
excuses!
In addition to rocking the work
out, I learned to do a…wait for it…cartwheel! Yes, I just learned to do a
cartwheel. No, I never learned as a kid. No, I will not video it for you…just
yet anyway. Psst! I learned how to do a cartwheel!
Cheers to making the most out of
every opportunity. Don’t let life pass you by!
