Morning Workouts
So I’ve been trying (along with my good friend Amy) to get to the gym at least five times a week. Sounds easy. Is NOT easy. The only way I feel I can really get that many workouts in is to go in the mornings before work, which means waking up no later than 6:30 am (which is very, very difficult for me).
This morning went well. I got to the gym just a little after 7 and managed to do 25 min on the bike and 30 min on the elipticle machine. I’d like to do a solid 50-55 minutes of cardio each time I’m at the gym, and add in more strength training a few times a week. Time is my greatest enemy. Time, and my love of sleep. So far this week is going well; I’m hoping I can keep it up. My problem is that I want results, fast. I don’t like doing something consistantly for an entire month and only then seeing the tiniest improvements. And often, when I do see those improvements, I switch into “I’m in shape now, don’t need to push myself” mode and end up back where I started. I’m hoping this blog will help me get past that and help me to see the bigger picture instead when it comes to taking care of my body.
