Sometimes I have to take myself aside and kick my own ass. One of the ways I am currently working through and trying to come to reality is that my dad is sick and CANCER SUCKS. One way for me is through exercise which is truly a mind and body time experience. With absolutely NO interruptions. If you are going through the same, it can be extremely therapeutic. This morning I needed that first.
I didn't sleep well last night. Dad was in the hospital again last week. Holidays are coming up. I began to have these genuine concerns that began distracting me. So this morning before my two classes I had to teach, cycle first, then group strength training second and on an empty stomach - yes I do cardio fast 2 times a week. I knew a PERFECT place at the gym to do what I needed to do. Say a prayer so that while I work, Dad is okay and stays that way.

MY STOP FEELING SORRY AND GET YOUR ASS IN GEAR 20 MINUTE WORKOUT WAS TODAY (excuse my cuss):
1. Warm Up for about 6 mins - just start walking up and down the stairs - as if you were going to get a cold one, but not with too much excitement because then you would be out of breath too quick. Easy there. Just want build to get your heart rate up - especially for me, there is no air conditioning in that area.
2. After warm up I began a little quick routine.
a. 1st set run up down fast as you can for 15 seconds
at 15 seconds
b. Get to the bottom, and then pick a set of stairs to perform push ups. During that it's like an 8 second recovery and then begin push ups for the next 30 seconds.
REPEAT
b. You will repeat this, but each set you repeat add 5 seconds or so, or as many seconds as you want until you run out of time. YOU CAN BUILD AND ADD TO THIS.
I FELT A HUNDRED TIMES BETTER AND WAS SO NOW PREPARED TO TEACH TWO AMAZING CLASSES! Thanks Dad. My Dad was my softball coach for many years, so I already knew what he would be telling me. "Get on that pitchers mound on throw that ball, with speed, grace and resolve..." Both classes were so much fun and successful this morning. I had 4 women and the rest men this morning. I really pushed them and encouraged them. It's amazing at what you think CAN do vs WHAT YOU THINK YOU CANNOT DO... Wake up - there is a ROCK STAR IN EVERY SINGLE ONE OF US!
3 hours later I tried my hardest to avoid buying a breakfast (now
lunch) burrito from the corner shop that I have to pass twice!
