So I start the day now with working the core and abs. I dedicate about 30 minutes each morning to stretching out my core and working the abs muscles. By starting my day off like this, I feel full of energy and ready to conquer the day. It is also a great way to put in a quick workout if you are not able to make it to the gym. With my job, there are sometimes where I work late nights and just can’t make it to the gym on time. This is a great way to workout in the comfort of your home. With JC I have been doing a mix of cardio and strength training to maximize muscle gain and accelerate fat loss.
Life is a total body adventure; and a happy, healthy body is a body in motion. If you can’t make it to a gym, or if you can’t afford a gym membership, there are so many things that you can do. Biking, hiking, skiing, even walking are things to help you accelerate fat loss. I used to be one of those people that after a long day, I just wanted to come home, schlep on the couch with some junk food and a soda and watch TV or a movie. Now I find that I want to be more active and be outside. Granted, right now with 15 plus inches of snow, I would prefer to be at the gym or in the comfort of my own home, but still, I want to be active. I have also done the math and by making my own lunches and bringing snacks to the office I have saved roughly $70 this week. Just by packing lunches. So not only am I eating healthy, I am saving money at the same time. Not bad.
This weekend I am looking forward to taking a class or two at the gym. I would love to try out yoga. Jessica is a yoga teacher so I might ask her advice. All I know is that anyone that I have ever seen come out of a yoga class has had an amazing body! What’s great about gym memberships is that they offer all of these free classes. So if you have a membership to a gym, take advantage of this. Switch up your routine. Just like your body can get tired of eating the same thing, it can also get tired of working out the same way. Spice it up. It’s also a great way to meet new people.
Well, off to bed. My call times are out for Law and Order: SVU and I am ready for bed. TGIF tomorrow. Thank God. Hopefully we can get through a day without any snow. One can hope. Till tomorrow.
So I start my day out with about 2 cups of coffee. It's a nice way to pop the eyes open and be full of rigor and caffeine. By starting my day like this I feel ready to conquer my sofa, or sometimes I switch it up and sit on a chair. Today is a new day so I don't know what piece of furniture I'll choose to satisfy my rear end with. I just lifted a pinkie. I can see the muscles bulging from my index to my hangnail. Phew!
