In a Slump... Plateau... Have no Motivation??? I've noticed that it’s often because I have too much going on in my life. I’m trying to do too much. It saps my energy and motivation. It’s probably the most common mistake that people make: they try to take on too much, try to accomplish too many goals at once. You cannot maintain energy and focus (the two most important things in accomplishing a goal) if you are trying to do two or more goals at once. It’s not possible — As a single Mother of two I've tried it many times. You have to choose ONE GOAL, for now, and focus on it completely. I know, that’s hard. You can always do your other goals when you’ve accomplished your One Goal.
Idea Flash.... Call the gym ask about the cost of a membership, call a friend to join you so you have a accountability partner to start exercise together, Call Certified Personal Trainer and ask about how to start a personal fitness program, Maybe do it with a friend or a couple of friends to keep the cost down. Try to workout the same time of day, this will keep you on a schedule. I also make my workouts schedule like I would a Dr. or Dentist appointment not allowing myself to cancel unless I'm dying...or my kids are sick...AND I PUT IT IN MY CALENDAR JUST LIKE i WOULD ANY OTHER APPOINTMENT, SO NOTHING CAN REPLACE IT.
My training sessions are usually outside and are available for all fitness levels....so that means that if you have never exercised or haven't in years you can still make it through my programs. $30 for two sessions per week and $10 for any additional days.
Find inspiration... Inspiration, can come from others who have achieved what you want to achieve, or who are currently doing it. You can read other blogs, books, magazines, or success stories. I also suggest most importantly praying and asking God for strength, energy, motivation and focus.
Its that time of the month when I don't have much UUMPH...Do you ever feel this way??? But I got through my workout just fine...
Glad it was over... here is what I did...I want to challenge you to do these workouts that I post. If they seem to hard then you modify it, by cutting the repetitions in half or going slower.
Treadmill
between 3-10 speed
2 miles
incline on 1
try to finish in 25 minutes or less. Come on lets do this together and try to beats our times.
Burns approximately 320 calories
100 cross behind the leg lunge (didn't have much energy after this because of the run) stopped 3 times 30 seconds
20 straight legs swings on back with heel of other leg on bench (demo this week on video)
20 on Back spread legs up in air reach between and through legs.
By this time I was whipped and totally drenched with sweat. I was in my garage and it was about 110 degrees in there....holy hotness....
