Last Chance Workout!

It's Friday & time for the LAST CHANCE WORKOUT!  

Remember, get to the gym, put in a workout video, be pushed to go that extra mile.  Speaking of the "extra mile", short story.  I went to the gym yesterday and set a goal to run 4 miles.  I had to wait for  treadmill, so I did the elliptical for 12 minutes...then I did 3 miles, and just HAD to get off the machine.  So, I was upset with myself, so I said, "fine, since you didn't do your set plan, you must get on the stepper (which I really think was sent straight from the devil) for five minutes".  I had to actually STOP at 4:30 to breathe...then finish my 30 seconds.  I got off the stepper and saw ALL the treadmills were open.  I wasn't thrilled at how I didn't accomplish what I sent out to do and I still needed to burn an additional 60 calories; so back to the treadmill I went...and I got all 4 miles done yesterday. Yay!  Push yourself!

I saw this quote today and hope that will will push you on this last chance workout "Today before you complain about life - Think of someone who went too early to heaven."


Make it a good day!

  1. When someone asks: "Why do you work out so hard?" You reply: "Because I can! Because I can." That's a quote from one of my favorite instructors at the gym.

    I thought you guys might appreciate it since I know we're all either working hard or hardly working!
