Considering I'm there 3 times a week, my dad (who is visiting) works out daily AND at home AND on the weekends, my oh-so-athletic-and-fit nephews (who live across my apt) encouraging me to workout, how can I not eventually write about it... So here it goes.
Hardest part:
They say its getting to the gym, but for me, its getting AND staying in the gym (who says I can't leave 10 mins after I get there?) ;)
How I measure my efforts:
Sweating A LOT. Oh, and completing push-ups without passing out.
Enjoyable workout: [let me think about this one]
Pursued workout:
Arms (b/c I am in desperate need of definition)
Current motivational thoughts:
Summer. Me. In clothes with less fabric.
When in the gym, I look forward to:
Stopping my workout (lol, no j/k). Drinking my chocolate-flavored Muscle Milk (its like a chocolate milkshake, but actually good for you)
Attitude when working out:
Don't talk to me... I'm focused maaan! With my earphones, I don't want to conversate, just workout and be out. But please do tap me on the shoulder if I am doing the workout all wrong. I do smile to those I see on a regular basis, but keep it moving! =P
Enjoyable workout: [still thinking]
Hated workout:
Abdominals (ab workouts - they're boring)
Most relaxing workout:
None! Lol - I gues this would be the 10 mins of stretching I do after
Most rewarding:
Increased energy, going up a long flight of stairs with ease, fitting into clothes you once couldn't fit into, encouraging others to be fit/have a healthy heart.
Even more rewarding:
Waking up with slightly sore muscles (a testament I worked my butt off the night before), Eating whatever I want without feeling guilty, and Walking out of the gym and thinking "thank God I was able to go through it, and complete it"
Enjoyable workout:
I'd have to say a tie between squats (since I know its working out the butt) and push-ups b/c I have never been a fan of them before until I realized they workout overall arms, back, chest, and abs (yes, ALL of them)
What I struggle with:
Going to the gym - hey, it doesn't come easy for me. The funny part, I have guilty feelings if I do not go or skip a day that I'm supposed to be there. It eats at my conscious for a bit.

"I do smile to those I see on a regular basis, but keep it moving! =P" thats awesome/hilarious! ur so cool. anyways, if u find sit ups and crunches boring; then improvise. Hold 5 or 10 weight dumbbells in ur hands and as ur lifting ur body up, twist ur hips...or is it waist...both, and pretend ur punching somebody's face. twist left, punch with ur right. twist right punch with ur left. try 2 make it fun. Also always tighten ur stomach. ull feel it more.
