Happy Wednesday! Who's having a hard time with Daylight Savings time? I love this time of year because I treasure that extra daylight at the end of the day. I have to say though, when my alarm went off this morning at 6:30am and there wasn't even a hint of sunshine out my window, it was rough getting out of bed. I did it though and powered through my Workout Wednesday!
I think one of the main factors in helping me get out of bed, even when it was still dark outside, was the fact that I've created a routine for myself and stuck to a realistic goal of one early morning workout per week. Any more than that and I think I would have given up on the idea of morning workouts already!
Other factors spurring me out of bed?
- It feels so GOOD to have my workout done before 8:00am. I don't have to think about it the rest of the day and night.
- I only have a week and half left of the T25 program...about to close out those 10 weeks of work!
- I can see on the scale AND in the fit of my clothes that I have made progress in my weight loss.
- I just FEEL better overall when I get that workout done.
Today's workout was T25 Beta Core Cardio. I like this one because you get an overall workout, with a focus on the core but without feeling like you're dying from an intense, ab focused routine. There are a few minutes of a lunge progression that's pretty rough but I modified and still got my sweat on! That's one of my favorite things about the Beachbody workouts...there are modifications for most of the moves and you don't feel like you're slacking if you modify a bit. Trust me, you're still getting a workout!
If you're not an early morning exerciser, give it a try! If you really can't do it, you don't have to stick with it but you might be surprised how good you feel starting your day off with a nice sweat. Even better, you can come home and RELAX at the end of a long day.
