Day 1


Journey Back to Fitness: Day 1

What motivates you to work out?

From the many individuals I reached out to, this is the combination of responses I received:

  • Nothing ….(I can relate!)
  • Time to myself
  • Job requirement
  • Hate looking in the mirror knowing I could do better
  • Feeling good afterwards 
  • Health
  • Future 80 year old self
  • Prayer time
  • Mental health
  • Process of growth
  • Goal achieving 
  • Fat avoidance
  • Vanity
  • Wellness
  • Avoiding cycles of ‘I should’ or ‘I’m going to’
  • Muscle endurance 
  • History of being bullied
  • Strength and confidence 
  • Physical appearance 

I italicized the motivations I have used in my own personal journey.  

Thank you to each and every one of you who helped provide motivation today!  I will keep this list handy to inspire me on days I just ‘don’t want to workout’.  

Today’s fitness wins:

35 min upper body weight routine

40 min indoor cycling workout 

6 min ab routine

2.25 mile walk at 17 min/mile pace

*Interestingly enough, I put in a killer workout session before I even read most of the responses I had received.  Just knowing they were going to be there waiting for me at the end of the day was inspiration enough.  


Thanks to my workout partners: Indoor cycling program: Kaleigh Cohen.  Ab workout: Alex Croxford.  Weight program: Caroline Girvan
