Making time in our busy lives

We've all used the excuses before "I don't have time or I'm too tired to work out." I've used those excuses before too. I was out for a week. Working too many hours and I was "too tired" to make it to the gym.
    This week is no different but I am making time. If you can't go in the evening because of your schedule or your too tired, try going in the morning before work. Its a low traffic time. And it will make you feel energized and ready for the day. You can mark if off your schedule and reward yourself with a leisurely activity in the evening!

Hydrated for success

I am so proud of myself. Instead of buying a 12 pack of DP or Root Beer. I bought 2 cases of bottled water. Keeping your body hydrated and drinking the recommended daily intake keeps your body working at optimal levels. The recommended daily I take is 3.0 litters for men and 2.2 litters for woman.

Indestructible

"I'll have you know
That I've become
Indestructible
Determination that is incorruptible"


Indestructible from Disturbed really pumps me up when I am doing my routine.
Its heavy chords and empowering lyrics take my workout to the next level. Music is an important factor in keeping me motivated throughout my workout. IT pushes me though when I feel like I can't finish my set.

Determined

I love hills! And I am determined. 

Exceeded expectations

I've been using the SHealth app on my phone. And my daily goal is 10,000 steps a day. And today I exceeded that goal. It feels great!

Running outdoors

I forgot how much I love to run outdoors, in natural terrain. There is no better feeling then sprinting up a steep incline with the wind blowing past you while you soar to the top.

An indoor treadmill will get the job done if the weather is bad but outdoor training is more challenging and enjoyable. Time flies when you are running around my neighborhood.  When you're on the treadmill it's hard not too constantly stare at the neon light mile/time tracker. If your getting bored with the treadmill then take some time off from the gym to enjoy a brisk evening jog. 

My current routine

I started my workout with some active - isolated stretches which is holding the  stretch for 2 seconds and doing about 8-10 reps,about 2 sets of each muscle stretched.

I also did some balance, plyometric, and core training.  Going to finish my work out with cardio.
