The workouts continue
So I am getting in the groove of going to workout with my trainer. Now I just need to do my daily cardio to really get in the full groove and see/feel the payoffs. I hear it takes 30 times to form a habit so by next month I should be set. I am planning to hit the gym on my own tomorrow to take advantage of the machines and skip the heat.
Today’s workout included the dreaded hopping reach exercise. It looks so easy but kills me every time. I still don’t see the point but figure if it is hard to do, it probably is helping. And that !@#$% elliptical machine. I never did like it. Three minutes seemed like a lifetime to me. My trainer (now to be called, “M”) was very encouraging to tell me that you have to start somewhere. It will be nice when I improve and can look back and laugh at how easy 3 minutes feels.
M always knows just how far to push me before I feel on the brink of collapse. And it does feel good when I am done. I always liked to exercise so am happy I am fitting it back into my schedule. The last few years I have been consumed with work and money - or lack thereof. It is nice to focus on myself again. My life coach tells me that it will help my overall attitude and perspective on those basic stressers. More on this later.
