The other morning while working out, a fellow gym goer says to me, "You're really pushing it this morning." I reply, "I'm here aren't I, shouldn't I make it count?"Too often I see people in the gym, sipping their coffee and working their jaw jibber-jabbering more than actually working their muscles and I wonder to myself, "what's the point?"
I'm not at the gym to waste my time, I can think of a million and three other things I could be doing at 6:30 am; sleeping for one! When I go to the gym, I'm there to push myself to the limits, break my goals, feel the burn and make the change. Not every single morning do I have the energy I would like to have, but every time I'm there, I do my best to make it count.
I try and challenge my body each day. Run harder, run faster, squat deeper, lift heavier. You get the idea...its all about MAKING CHANGE and exceeding the previous efforts. A friend told me you only grow when you push yourself, I don't think they were talking about working out, but really more just about life. Isn't it true though, for either? We grow when we step out of comfort levels, push ourselves harder and make each moment of our life (or workout) count!
What will you do tomorrow to make it count?
Health Tip of the Day:
At times, you will not feel like exercising. If you're just feeling a little tired or low on energy, go ahead and try to complete your routine. The workout will likely boost your energy level and your mood.
