I succeeded in TWO days in a row of getting early morning workouts done before work...yay! I love measuring health and wellness progress in ways other than the scale. So many other changes happen when you commit to changing your lifestyle and living in a more healthful way. I count having the energy and drive to get up before 7:00am and workout as one of those!
Wednesday's workout was another round of the Rip'T Circuit I mentioned last week. I've noticed that my stamina and strength are increasing and I don't need to take as many breaks during the routine as I did 6 weeks ago. Another great indicator of progress!
I have also discovered my new favorite workout buddy who I affectionately refer to as Stanley.
This is a small but mighty fan that I bought at True Value. My parents have one and I was impressed with the air it moved around and how it helped them keep their boat cool (my parents live on a boat!) I had originally bought this for our house to keep my husband's computer room cool, especially in the summer.
One day I was about to start my workout and I decided to try using Stanley during the routine. Oh my gosh! What had I been missing?! Even though my workouts are only 25 minutes, you get some serious SWEAT happening, especially in the cardio heavy routines. I stood right in the path of Stanley's breeze during my entire routine and it felt amazing! I swear it even made it feel easier/quicker (?!) because I wasn't distracted by sweating so much.
Dear Stanley now joins me for all my living room workouts. He's a great workout buddy!
