I'm still here! I'm still working out! I'm...something.
This school year I've had to get up even earlier to get my workouts in! Ugh! I know for me it's important to get up and get my workouts out of the way first thing in the morning, but this is beyond the pale, people! The 5:15am wake up call is really kicking my ass.
But, it is what it is. With Declan up at 6:30am for school now, it's just necessary. I am a little bummed right now because I wanted to do two programs simultaneously, TurboFire and Brazil Butt Lift (makes me laugh every time), but BBL is probably on hold until I get through September's crunch time for work.
So I did start TurboFire again and am on Day 8. I think. I love those workouts. If you've never done a Chalene Johnson workout, search her on YouTube or something. I find her so inspiring and the workouts are great.
And that would be my tip of the day. Which I think I've used before. Do what inspires you. For me, it's leaping around (not that I leap very high) to Chalene. It may be something different for you. But do try and push your boundaries a little. Step outside that comfort zone. I will say that on all of the high intensity interval training days, I'm WAY outside my comfort zone for a little while. But I do notice changes--things like definition in my calves that I've never seen before, some signs of abdominal muscles, a bump in my biceps. It's what keep sme going!
I stepped outside my comfort zone on Wed and am still feeling it -- took a boot camp class at the gym and it kicked my bootie (ha, ha.) I loved it, can't wait to do it again. But, it made me realized that maybe I haven't been working out as hard as I need to be. Or that I'm getting old. Probably both.
