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
